In part two of our series on The Force Awakens, the audience meets a scavenger named “Rey” and FN-2187 busts Poe out of First Order captivity.
In the second installment of our series celebrating the tenth anniversary of The Force Awakens, we meet Rey. A lone scavenger on the planet of Jakku, she is waiting patiently for her family to return when she rescues BB-8, a droid in distress. Meanwhile, FN-2187 decides to defect from the First Order, and he thinks that Poe Dameron, currently being held prisoner by Kylo Ren, might just be the key to his escape. Before long, a bromance is born. Join us for this episode of Podcast Stardust as we dive deeper into The Force Awakens.
