Summary
- An unscripted scene in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" involving Poe Dameron adds depth to his character and solidifies his transition into a Resistance general.
- Oscar Isaac convinced director J.J. Abrams to include the scene in which Poe expresses his doubts about leading the Resistance, praising his adaptivity and trust in the actors' input.
- Lando Calrissian's involvement in the crucial scene ties up plot threads and showcases his character's transformation from swindler to loyal friend, providing a solid reason for his presence at the Resistance base and in the film as a whole.
One important scene from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was initially not included in the film's script which is surprising given how it solidified the arc of Lando Calrissian. In modern Hollywood franchise filmmaking, it is not uncommon to see scenes included in marketing that were not in the movie or vice versa. The endless cycle of shoots and reshoots for most modern productions is usually the catalyst for this, something that will undoubtedly also be the case for upcoming Star Wars movies.
