Several times growing up on Yavin and in his life so far, Poe has had some narrow escapes from certain death that seemed to be sheer dumb luck and nothing more. His parents wondered if it was something to do with the Force, growing up around the Force Tree, but Poe always tested as Force sensitive as a sack of rocks, so they wrote it off to happenstance.

As Poe gets older and the "There's no way out of this! I'm gonna die-! Wait, no everything's fine, what?" moments get more intense and more ridiculous, he starts to wonder if even though he's not Force-sensitive, maybe the Force has some role for him to play in future and is loading the odds in his favour. In super weird ways.
