The precise meaning of "a long time ago" in the Star Wars universe has always been a little unclear.

But now, thanks to a stunning portrait John Boyega Instagrammed, we know that Poe and Finn's friendship dates back to at least the 18th century. The co-stars are a regal pair of gents, with Oscar Isaac embracing his sex symbol status with purely decorative brass buttons.

Boyega is clearly psyched to be back to work on the next Star Wars installment with Isaac. He recently Instagrammed a video of himself training for the movie with his pal cheering him on.
