Star Wars: Spark of the Resistance — page 6 — back She had to admire his persistence He'd been trying trying to take the pilot's seat since they'd set out but the Millennium Falcon was hers for now and she would fly it even if Poe was determined to try out the controls of the legendary ship Maybe she would let him fly after they got back to the rendezvous point Maybe No but you can sit in the copilot seat if you want Rey said sweetly I'm always happy to have someone so capable navigate At Poe's near pout she smiled I like flying flying but if I need your help I will most definitely ask She didn't want to hurt Poe's feelings She just wanted to fly I like flying too Poe mumbled but he didn't argue BB-8 gave a series of beeps and Poe scowled at him It's not my fault the First Order blew up my ship Poe exclaimed It's just one of those things that keeps happening happening Seriously I wasn't even in my ship the last time it got blown up It's just rotten luck It was a familiar argument Rey suspected BB-8 kept bringing up Poe's blasted ships as a way of having a little fun at his expense and she thought it was rather funny Apparently Poe didn't BB-8 beeped back and rolled past Poe into the Falcon I wasn't saying she isn't a good pilot Beebee I was SPARK OF THE RESISTANCE

Star Wars: Spark of the Resistance — page 7 — offering to fly in case she was tired Poe said following his droid Rose closed the hatch after shooing in a few of the porgs that had taken up residence in the Falcon so they wouldn't be left on Fermic and turned to Rey Do you think we'll have any trouble on the way back Rose asked As usual the mechanic's expression hovered somewhere between worried and thoughtful Rey hadn't known Rose very long The first time Rey had seen Rose she'd been unconscious knocked out during the fight on Crait But since then Rey had worked with Rose quite a bit and Rey had found her to be a really nice person Rey could tell that Rose cared about others deeply She was always offering to share her meager rations or let someone take a nap on her cot She was just a very considerate person Rey shook her head in response to Rose's query It seems like the First Order hasn't made it to this part of the galaxy just yet We'll clear the atmosphere and jump to hyperspace as soon as possible That should help us avoid any trouble Rose nodded Good Trouble is definitely something we don't need I wish Finn and Chewie were here They'd be great Not that you aren't great that is But Finn and Chewie would also be great and well you know what I mean STAR WARS
