Don't worry--if you are a Poe fan, I'm not here to bash him; just to point out a problem with how the character was drawn so you can avoid it in your own writing.
Poe Dameron is surprisingly one of the most popular characters in the new Star Wars universe and, considering he didn't get a lot of screen time and absolutely no character development, I'm assuming his popularity is due to his fun personality and impressive fighter pilot skills. Personally, I thought the whole movie long that he was a bad guy. And after thinking it over, I think I've figured out why he came across that way.

Think of a few of your favourite stories. Then try to remember the precise moment when you first KNEW this story was going to be good.
I watched Hercules the other day and that moment was when Hades walked into the party and delivered some shady opening lines. Good stories aren't always obvious at first, but the moment is sure to come when you tuck in your elbows, squirm a little deeper into your arm chair, and think, “Yisss, this is going to be good.” This point is the hook. It's what grabs your readers and gives them a good reason to keep reading your book, even if you get a little carried away with a boring description or decide to kill off everyone's favourite character. The most important thing you can do for your story is to give it a good hook.
I enjoyed the recent post by Jenny @ The Penslayer about romantic tropes and how you ought to avoid them. I couldn't agree more, especially after reading the complete list of tropes she was talking about.
