What are the Odds These Characters Survive Episode IX?
Poe Dameron
Poe is a character that, according to J.J. Abrams, wasn’t originally supposed to survive The Force Awakens. Despite the fact that he risked everything to destroy Starkiller Base, The Last Jedi saw his character development take a step backwards. He was insubordinate (rightfully so, if you ask me), demoted, and left with little role in the Resistance by the end of the film. I foresee Poe making the ultimate sacrifice in Episode IX for the sake of the Resistance. Chances that Poe will survive Episode IX?
Prediction: 25% chance of survival.
Rey
Rey, whether fans like it or not, is the heart of the new trilogy. She represents the idealism and desire for good that permeated the original trilogy of films. Rey, frankly, is one of the only characters that has seen any real character development through the first two sequel trilogy films. Consequently, Rey will be the one to defeat the rising threat, whether from Kylo Ren, the Knights of Ren, or some other threat from the Beyond.
Prediction: 95% chance of survival.
