More Poe and Rey and a little Falcon

A lot of good and a little bad in this section but the good far outweighs the bad!

Before The Awakening (Rey)
One of the arguments you’ll find online in regards to Rey being a “Mary Sue” is that she’s able to fly the Falcon without seemingly any training.  If for no other reason, read this part of Before The Awakening for that argument to be eliminated.  As for the story itself, it’s a fun story very worth reading.  Pick it up if you haven’t already, you’ll learn a little more about Rey!

Forces of Destiny Season 1 Episode 15 – The Happabore Hazard
Forces of Destiny – The Rey Chronicles – Rey and the Happabore
I didn’t like this one at all.  Rey literally picks a Happabore’s nose and it helps here out.  No, just no.

Forces of Destiny Season 2 Episode 5 – Run Rey Run
Forces of Destiny – The Rey Chronicles – Rey and Teedo
This one wasn’t too bad for what it was.  Not really a ton there and it’s really not intended to be.

Star Wars Adventures Destroyer Down:  Rey scavenges a “ghost ship”.  This one was fun.  Again, not much in the way of impact of canon but a fun read.

Poe Dameron 20 – 25 Legend Found:  The search for Lor Santekka! Obviously, the title gives this a way and I’m sure I’ll look at The Force Awakens a bit differently in the opening scene.  The first few issues were a bit difficult because there’s some “then” and “now” flips going on so it definitely is an arc that requires full attention when reading.

Poe Dameron Annual 2:  The story by Jody Houser is very enjoyable.  The artwork is horrid and unbecoming for this series.  I tweeted examples of just how bad it was.  It seems most of Marvel’s missteps occur in the Annuals, maybe they should stop doing those.

Star Wars Adventures 18 – Flight of the Falcon 5 Grand Theft Falcon (pg. 13-18)
Like most of the Star Wars Adventures stories, the key word is “fun”.  However, this one adds a bit of meat to the bone.  Don’t want to spoil it but think Force Awakens and the whole “he stole it from the Irving Boys who stole it from Ducain who stole it from me” line from Rey/Han.
