This week we continue our discussion on Resistance Reborn by Rebecca Roanhorse (chapters 22-end). We discuss how Finn and Poe are definitely not, not at all, totally a couple, leaders who are so bad at their jobs that BOTH their underlings defect, and self-sacrifice running rampant in the franchise.
