Wait, what?!
Honestly though I thought they were partners at first too, until Rose said "sister".
YES IM TELLING YOU THE DIRECTOR WANTED US TO THINK THIS.
It's not just me. There's a subtext here.
Also, there's tons of other feminist philosophy being used in the movie. And again, there's nothing wrong with that but it's clearly there.
Leia berating Poe to "get his head out of his cockpit" is clearly meant to belittle Poe and mock his manhood. Poe eventually does learn to think a bit (although his big evolution is order a retreat rather than die fighting? Man that's a depressingly shallow character). It feels like all the male characters in the movie serve as cartoonish foils against which the female characters are propped up and lauded as heroic.
And again, female empowerment is a great thing. We're all for it. It's just again odd to see it so blatantly portrayed, especially in Star Wars.
