#space latinos and their leather jackets
I feel like the more germane unifying thing here is their emotional distress, though. Isn’t this right after Cassian has to kill his informant? And I’m like, eighty percent sure that’s Poe about to tell BB-8 that it’ll be okay, knowing fine well it won’t be.
Like, the leather jacket is kind of the least important thing here. But isn’t it a good contrast of moments? Cassian just said, “It’ll be okay!”, lying through his teeth, and then murdered a man; Poe is realizing that nothing will ever be okay again, and is about to grit his teeth and smile and say “It’ll be okay!” and send his droid off to wander the desert hopelessly, in a desperate attempt to keep the information out of the hands of the enemy that’s about to capture and torture Poe to death with no hope of rescue.
Like, how stark a parallel is that?
