Poe Dameron: Free Fall is out in the wild – and has been reviewed here on Fantha Tracks not once, but twice – and author Alex Segura recently spoke about the book, including the smallest member of the Kijimi crew, Babu Frik.
Q: You also had Babu Frik in your novel as well, we know more about the little creature from your book than The Rise of Skywalker. Was him the most fun character to write about, or someone else? Why?
A: Babu is the best! I was so happy we were able to include him, and he’s a key part of the story.
Q: While developing the younger version of Poe Dameron and Zorii Wynn, did you have a conversation about him with Oscar Isaac and Keri Russell, or that is not how the Force works?
A: I didn’t talk to Oscar or Keri, but I am a huge fan of both!
Q: Poe and Zorii kissed multiple times in your story, but I am not sure they are in love in Free Fall. What is your take on this?
A: Like most teenage relationships, Poe and Zorii’s is a complicated, very emotional one. I don’t think we can define their relationship beyond what you see on the page – which is complex and evolving.
