With the support of the REPUBLIC, General Leia Organa leads a brave RESISTANCE. She is desperate to find her brother Luke and gain his help in restoring peace and justice to the galaxy. Leia has sent her most daring pilot on a secret mission to Jakku, where an old ally has discovered a clue to Luke's whereabouts....Star Wars: The Force Awakensnote marketed as Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens or simply The Force Awakens is the first film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

Bloodless Carnage: Averted by the dying Stormtrooper at the beginning of the film, and by Kylo Ren after Chewbacca shoots him. While the other movies fell back on this trope in the past (with the odd exception of Pondo Baba's arm getting lopped off by Obi Wan in A New Hope and Darth Maul getting sliced in half by Obi Wan in The Phantom Menace) this film notably presents the villains getting quite bloody and wounded in combat.

Darker and Edgier: The Force Awakens is the second Star Wars movie to take on a PG-13 rating in the United States, and it shows. The movie has more intense violence (with some blood) and less kid-oriented humor than either of the previous trilogies; it opens on a village being invaded by the First Order at nighttime as its inhabitants are slaughtered, and BB-8 is the only new Kid-Appeal Character.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 The Force Awakens / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Much of the movie takes place in and around the scrapyards of Jakku, where characters are constantly surrounded by the massive, rusted-out wreckage of the iconic spaceships from the Original Trilogy, which stand as lasting relics of a massive battle that took place decades ago. This is pretty obviously symbolic of the massive legacy of the Original Trilogy itself, which still casts a massive shadow over the entire film industry, despite ending three decades ago; even the scavengers, who eke out a living combing the wreckage for fresh parts, are clearly representative of the fans who kept coming back to the movies, and could always spin new stories from their tiniest background details. When one of those rusted-out relics — the Millennium Falcon — finally takes off for a new destination, it's symbolic of the saga's resurrection. Han and Leia's son going over to the Dark Side reads very much like your child joining a cult or criminal organization. The novelization goes into more detail, and makes it sound an awful lot like child grooming. Han Solo goes deep into enemy territory with the goal of redeeming a prodigal son, and dies by a cross of sorts. Furthermore, the last thing he does in this life is to make a gesture of forgiveness. The First Order is very reminiscent of iron-fist fanatical dictatorships from real life, including one that those who have studied 1930's-40's Germany will be very familiar with. In contrast to the well-armed, well-disciplined Galactic Empire, the First Order is a relatively small band of fanatics who hide out in a secluded zone of space and disrupt their enemies with surprise attacks on civilians. Their first scene in the movie involves them massacring a remote desert village, and they eventually surprise everyone by launching an attack on the distant Republic capital and killing millions. Considering the context of the film, the conflict with the First Order seems designed to evoke the War on Terror, with the destruction of Hosnian Prime evoking the 9/11 attacks on a far larger scale. It's even more evocative of World War II. The First Order is akin to Nazi Germany in the way they dress and conduct combined arms tactics, plus Imperial Japan in their complete ambivalence (if not outright encouragement) of war crimes and being a military junta, as well as both nations' histories. They are a new, even more fanatical regime that took over a once-proud empire and took its nationalistic ideals to an extreme. The New Republic, taking the place of three of the major Allied nations (Britain, America and the USSR), refuses to acknowledge them as an actual threat due to war weariness, complacency and being preoccupied with consolidating their rule over a war-torn galaxy, until it is far too late to stop them without serious conflict. Meanwhile, the Resistance takes the position of the fourth Allied power, Nationalist China, specifically before 1941 - their army has been fighting the First Order for years without the Republic's support and are poorly equipped compared to the mechanized First Order.

The War Has Just Begun
 The Force Awakens / int_1599013
comment
The War Has Just Begun: Once you read the novelization, the Visual Dictionary and the prelude novel Before the Awakening you come to realize that the First Order has built massive armies and naval fleets, currently hidden in the Unknown Regions, working up for the invasion. All the main bad guys survived, the First Order's command structure is still intact and its ability to wage war is only diminished slightly by the loss of Starkiller Base. The New Republic just lost most of its government and a sizable chunk of its military while the Resistance, never that big to begin with, took heavy losses to take out Starkiller Base. By the end of the movie, the question is whether the New Republic and Resistance can survive the coming blitzkrieg.

Continuity Porn: The film is rife with callbacks and nods to the original trilogy. The primary villain is a fanboy of Vader, the bad guys are the Empire reborn, their new weapon is the Death Star x 1000, the hero is an orphan from a desert planet, they have a Cool Old Guy Old Mentor who suffers Mentor Occupational Hazard... Much of the film was predicted by literature experts.

Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers imply that Finn is this film's force-sensitive protagonist. In the film itself, it turns out to be Rey. The trailers and the poster contain multiple shots of Finn wielding a lightsaber, implying that he is the Force adept for this generation, when it's actually Rey. From the first trailer, many fans assumed the desert planet was Tatooine.

The Cameo: Yayan Ruhian, Cecep Arif Rahman, and Iko Uwais from The Raid and The Raid 2: Berandal cameo as the Kanjiklub pirates that Han stole a loan from. Warwick Davis, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and Harriet Walter also made cameos. Kevin Smith voices the stormtrooper who announces the incoming X-wing squadron during the First Order attack on Maz Kanata's castle. J.J. Abrams' usual composer Michael Giacchino and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich play Stormtroopers (the latter is the guy who screams "Hey!" before Chewie punches him). Daniel Craig plays the Stormtrooper that Rey mind tricks into letting her escape on Starkiller Base. The credits for voiceovers reveal plenty of famous voice actors as well.

Invincible Classic Car: The Millennium Falcon gets smacked around quite a bit throughout the film. During the take-off from Jakku, Rey can barely maintain lift and scrapes the ship along the ground for several seconds. When they're escaping from the transport ship, a rathtar tries in vain to rip off the cockpit canopy. During the infiltration of Starkiller Base, Han smashes the ship through a forest before a very rough crash landing. None of these things causes any meaningful damage. Corellians build their ships to last, for sure.

Chekhov's Gun: During their escape from Jakku, Finn warns Rey to keep low, as it confuses the targeting sensors of the First Order's TIE Fighters. Later in the film, the First Order attacks them on Takodana. When the Resistance arrives as relief, their X-wings are skimming the lake near Maz's castle only a few feet above the surface. This obscures their approach until they are almost right on top of the First Order troops, taking them by surprise. It comes around again after the Millennium Falcon needs to land on Starkiller Base undetected and the only way is to exit from hyperspace close to the surface and fly through a forest - key word being through, smashing hundreds of trees. While giving directions to BB-8, Rey warns him about the large, sandy sinkholes that are located towards the north. Finn and Poe later crash into one, which swallows their TIE fighter whole. This leads to Poe's apparent death and forces Finn to finish his mission. Chewbacca's bowcaster is shown to be more powerful than seen in the previous movies, even impressing Han. A blast can send a Stormtrooper back several feet. Later, after Kylo Ren kills Han, Chewie shoots him in the flank which only causes him to double over.

Legendary in the Sequel
 The Force Awakens / int_26b0a73
comment
Legendary in the Sequel: Rey is awestruck to learn that BB-8 is carrying part of a map to Luke Skywalker. The Millennium Falcon still has a legendary reputation for the Kessel Run and now with her storied involvement in the Rebellion on top of that; however, she still looks like an old Corellian jalopy so neither Finn nor Rey know what she really is until Han spells it out.

Taught by Experience: According to the Visual Dictionary, the First Order, learning from the Empire's mistakes on Endor, eradicated all intelligent life forms of the planet they chose to build Starkiller Base on. According to the "Incredible Cross-sections", they also applied this to the design of their new Star Destroyers. The Finalizer no longer has the exposed bridge tower which resulted in the destruction of the flagship Executor. A painful lesson to learn, indeed. During the briefing before the attack on Starkiller Base, the Resistance wonders desperately how they'll stop it. Han points out that these giant doomsday weapons always have some exploitable weak point — remembering the two Death Stars — and is quickly proven right. The moment the Resistance X-wings attack the Starkiller Base, Hux orders all TIE fighter squadrons to be launched, presumably learning from the first Death Star's destruction. They manage to destroy half of the X-wings and would have succeeded in defeating the Resistance had Chewie and Han Solo not blown a hole in the oscillator. Starkiller Base has better anti-starfighter protection than both Death Stars, incorporating turrets around key structures as well as missile launchers.

Shoot the Dog: While escaping the freighter, Han cold-cocks one of the fleeing pirates, grabs him, and shoves the guy into the mouth of an approaching rathtar to give himself some more time to run. The deliberate nature of it also seems to be a meta-commentary on the whole "Han shoots Greedo" controversy, showing that, yes, Han will absolutely kill another less-than-moral person if he's in a tight spot.

Speaking of Kylo Ren, the last we see of him, he's looking too weak to stand from the multiple injuries he's taken, and the planet is already starting to break apart beneath his feet. While Snoke specifically ordered Hux to retrieve Kylo while evacuating the planet (and we can assume the writers want him to return for the next movie), Hux has to have had some means of tracking Kylo's whereabouts and have been able to get there in a hurry if Kylo is going to be appearing in the next movie, because it wasn't more than a minute or two after Chewbacca picked up Finn and Rey that the planet exploded.

Recurring Element: Many old elements are given a modern version here. A new desert planet in the middle of nowhere, Jakku to Tatooine. A new Force sensitive outcast living on the desert planet who gets recruited by the heroes, Rey to Luke and Anakin. A new small, cute, droid carrying secret information for the heroic faction, who discovers the desert outcast, BB-8 to R2-D2. A new cocksure Ace Pilot with rugged good looks, Poe to Han. A new seedy bar in Maz's castle which combines elements of the Cantina and Jabba's Palace. Maz herself as the new diminutive Force savvy mentor, echoing Yoda. A deleted scene confirms she's a very powerful force user. A new spherical planet-destroying superweapon station, Starkiller to the Death Star. A new Darth Vader expy in Kylo Ren. An old, reclusive Dark Side master in Snoke to Palpatine. A new confident and zealous fascist leader, Hux to Tarkin. A new perpetually masked soldier who serves the evil side, Phasma is a loose one to Boba Fett.

More Dakka: The Resurgent-class battlecruiser isn't just twice as big as the old Imperial-class Star Destroyers, it's also massively better armed: while the Imperial's mounted some 150 weapon systems, the Resurgent has over 1500. This seems to be in keeping with the First Order's overall design philosophy, which is "The Galactic Empire, squared."

Curb-Stomp Battle: Call him FN-2199 or TR-8R, but he's clearly an experienced and battle-hardened stormtrooper who knows how to fight, is an expert with his weapon, and isn't intimidated by lightsabers. Finn gets his ass thoroughly handed to him and is on the defensive for the entire fight. The only reason Finn doesn't get killed is because Han and Chewbacca literally show up right before 2199 finishes him.

Parental Substitute: Han immediately accepts Rey and Finn as his baby ducks. He clocks Finn as an imposter Resistance Fighter and tells him "Women always know," while handing him a weapon. Then he steps out of the Falcon and hands Rey a weapon while telling her, "I know [you can handle yourself], that's why I'm giving you the blaster... [Want a job? Chewie likes you.]"

Bittersweet Ending: The good news is that Starkiller Base is destroyed, earning the Resistance a major victory, Luke has finally been located, and Rey is going to train with him. The bad news is that Han Solo was killed in the process, the New Republic has been dealt a major blow with the destruction of its capital at the time, the Hosnian system, along with its entire main fleet, Ren's Redemption Rejection firmly places him in dark side territory, and Finn is in a coma after nearly getting killed by Ren.

Damsel in Distress

comment
On Jakku, Finn keeps mistakenly treating Rey like a Damsel in Distress. He tries to rescue her from muggers, only to watch her beat up the muggers before he gets there and then start chasing him down. He keeps grabbing her hand to lead their flight from the Stormtroopers, causing her to gripe at him each time and ultimately offer him a hand when he falls over. When he's knocked unconscious, he snaps back awake and asks if she's okay.

On Second Thought: While fleeing from the TIE-fighters' bombardment on Jakku, Rey dismisses the off-screen spaceship Finn is suggesting as "garbage", but the other ship they were heading to gets blown up. This leads to the decision that "the garbage will do", with the camera panning to reveal to the audience that the aforementioned piece of junk happens to be the Millennium Falcon.

Villainous Crush
 The Force Awakens / int_437820dc
comment
Villainous Crush: There are some pretty heavy hints throughout the Force Awakens that the antagonist, Kylo Ren, has a crush on the heroine, Rey. He takes an immediate interest in "the girl" from the first moment he hears about her, chooses to take her instead of BB-8 to get information on the map to Luke Skywalker, and then proceeds to carry her in his arms to his ship after he renders her unconscious with the Force. During the interrogation scene, he watches her sleep, kneeling down before her, stands really close to her face, whispering in an unusually soft voice, uttering ambiguously suggestive lines of dialogue such as "You know I can take whatever I want". After they get into each other's heads, he calmly reassures an anxious Rey who is experiencing discomfort: "Don't be afraid, I feel it too." General Hux even calls him out on it in front of the Big Bad Snoke: "Ren believed it [BB-8] was no longer valuable to us. That the girl was all we needed", after which Kylo asks Snoke to let him deal with the girl. During their climactic duel in the snowy forest on Starkiller Base, Kylo is visibly holding back, not wanting to kill Rey. This is confirmed when after an intense stare contest while he has her cornered on a cliff edge, Kylo offers Rey to show her the ways of the Force. It doesn't work out as the delay helps Rey gather the strength to defeat Kylo in his weakened physical and mental state. The updated databanks on SW.com refer to Kylo Ren being "intrigued" by Rey and her raw power, as well as their "strange connection" and "intertwined destinies".

What a Piece of Junk: When she, Finn, and BB-8 are running from the Stormtrooper attack, Rey dismisses Finn's ship suggestion as "garbage" and opts for another ship right in front of the group. When the ship is blown up, she quickly decides that the "garbage" is better than nothing. The "garbage" turns out to be anything but; it's the Millennium Falcon, and by the end of the film, Rey has inherited it from the late Han Solo. True to form, she's still very high-maintenance.

Comet of Doom: Starkiller Base's beam looks like one from the view of the people on Takodana when the weapon is fired on Hosnian Prime. Per the trope, it's a harbinger for the dark times to come, and a stark demonstration of the threat that the First Order poses.

comment
The Hero's Journey: Rey's part in the film follows the Departure phase note-for-note: Call to Adventure: BB-8 and Finn provide this, drawing Rey away from Jakku and into the greater conflict. Refusal of the Call: She tells everyone throughout the film she just wants to go home again to wait for her family. Even though she really knows they're never coming back for her. She refuses Anakin's lightsaber when Maz gives it to her as part of her rejection of the Call. Supernatural Aid: Arrives in the form of Maz telling her about her connection to the Force and persuading her to confront the truth about her family, and the vision she gets from Anakin's lightsaber. Kylo Ren provides a darker twist, due to the fact she only begins to actively use the Force after his attempted Mind Probe. Crossing the Threshold: She begins the process while in Kylo Ren's custody, and finally lets go of her past and accepts her destiny when she claims Anakin's lightsaber for her own. Kylo Ren is her Threshold Guardian, and confronting him is her first step across the Threshold. Can't Refuse the Call Anymore: Rey has let go of her past and accepted that her family is never coming for her, and seeks out Luke to further her training.

War Comes Home: Happens with Rey after the First Order leads a raid on Jakku that results in the war spreading to her homeworld. This incident while downplayed starts her journey and causes her to eventually get involved with the wider conflict. However, for the rest of the galaxy, it is also exaggerated to the extreme in the sense that the First Order destroys the capital of the New Republic, Hosnian Prime, and several other worlds with Starkiller Base which allows the First Order to swiftly conquer the rest of the galaxy and put billions back under the control of an Imperial regime.

Leia herself was not there because by this point she was not held in high regard by most Senators due to her persistent warnings about the impending danger. Instead she was leading a small rag-tag Resistance with only covert backing from a minority of supporters in the government who believed her.

What Measure Is a Mook?
 The Force Awakens / int_52b36340
comment
What Measure Is a Mook?: Considering that Finn was a Stormtrooper at the start of the film, and the fact that they are revealed to consist of kidnapped, brainwashed children, the main characters sure don't mind gunning them down by the hundreds — even Finn, himself, doesn't show any guilt or internal conflict when he inadvertently kills dozens of his comrades when he escapes the First Order. This gets a minor subversion in the novelization; Finn says "Sorry boys," before opening fire. Also, blink and you'll miss it, but the Stormtrooper Finn stands by as he dies and who leaves a Bloody Handprint on Finn's mask has a moving death scene — it's the only Stormtrooper death we've ever seen that was more than simply falling over. Following his death, Finn staggers and turns in shock, unable to process the hell he's living through. This is also the first Star Wars film to remind the reviewers that there are living, breathing men and (for the first time on screen, anyway) women under the Stormtrooper armor, and that they are being killed by the heroes regularly. Emphasized by the first-time-on-screen revelation that being shot dead by a blaster is not bloodless, nor always instantaneous, in the case of the aforementioned Stormtrooper Finn tries to comfort.

comment
Giving the Sword to a Noob: After Rey rejects it, Finn, who has only basic melee training and unclear levels of Force ability, receives the lightsaber of Anakin Skywalker. He has mixed results, killing one stormtrooper by surprise but being soundly defeated by another wielding an electrostaff. He does manage to put up a fight against a heavily injured Kylo Ren, but is still trounced after Kylo loses his patience.

As Long as There Is Evil
 The Force Awakens / int_5dff009d
comment
As Long as There Is Evil: More specifically, as long as there is the Dark Side. The Original Trilogy ended on a high note, with Darth Vader redeemed, the Empire defeated and the galaxy at peace. How long did that last? Not very, with the First Order rising from the ashes of the Empire, Luke's efforts to revive the Jedi Order tragically being cut-short and Kylo Ren, Vader's grandson, declaring that he will finish what the Sith Lord started, all in a span of thirty years.

comment
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: As if the new class of Star Destroyer the First Order uses wasn't scary enough, the particular ship is called the Finalizer. "Starkiller Base" is certainly scary. Messing with a group called the "Guavian Death Gang" seems rather inadvisable.

Sequel Hook
 The Force Awakens / int_6293c185
comment
Sequel Hook: The movie leaves multiple threads dangling for future installments (whether they be in the movies, comics, or novels): The movie ends with Rey presumably becoming Luke's Padawan. Rey's parentage isn't revealed, nor are we given a reason why her family abandoned on Jakku. However, we do get a brief flashback showing her being left behind. Finn mentions that he never knew his family, as he was taken away by the First Order as an infant. This is another possible thread that could be explored. It was said earlier in interviews that there is a reason so little about Finn and Rey's family histories was revealed. Finn has gone into a coma by the end of the film, being severely injured in his fight against Kylo Ren. Only time will tell if he will heal completely by the next film, or if it will require some assistance from other heroes à la Han Solo-in-carbonite first. It's never revealed how Maz got her hands on Anakin's lightsaber. She even says that it's a story for another day. Kylo Ren, General Hux, and Captain Phasma all survived the destruction of Starkiller Base, and Snoke ominously claims that it is time to finish Ren's training. Kathleen Kennedy even confirmed that Phasma is planned to have a bigger role in The Last Jedi.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Poe Dameron has lettering on his vest.◊ When translated, it says "Pull to Inflate". Boba Fett's Mandalorian symbol can briefly be seen among the flags at Maz's castle. As Rey and Finn flee the TIE fighter attack, the Millennium Falcon can be very briefly seen in the background as they sprint past. When Finn shoots down the first TIE fighter over Jakku, the wreckage has barely hit the ground when scavengers come running in to strip it.

A Wizard Did It
 The Force Awakens / int_6bfc52a3
comment
A Wizard Did It: The novelization says that... Bala-Tik got on board Han's ship without his permission because it was designed to be easy for crewmembers trapped outside to get back in. Tik found Solo using a thermal sensor but didn't notice Finn or Rey because their signatures were masked by being close to a rathtar. Starkiller Base can instantly destroy planets in other solar systems by shooting through a deeper level of hyperspace called Sub-hyperspace. When exploring Starkiller Base, Chewbacca had some kind of phlebotinum that stopped First Order sensors noticing them. Pablo Hidalgo, who works for the Lucasfilm Story Group said on Twitter when asked why characters in other solar systems could see Hosnian System's destruction in the sky "What they're seeing is some weird hand-wavy hyperspace rip. A side-effect of the Starkiller." The novelization to The Last Jedi says that Kylo Ren survived being shot by Chewbacca because he contained the blast's energy with the Force.

One Dialogue, Two Conversations: When confronted by Han, Kylo Ren confesses that he feels "torn in two" (between the Dark and the Light) and that he knows what needs to be done but lacks the strength to do it, and asks Han's help, to which Han immediately agrees. Han thinks he's asking for help breaking away from Snoke and the Dark Side; Ren is talking about finding the strength to kill Han - his father - and fully embrace the Dark Side.

Invisible Means Undodgeable: Kylo Ren likes to take advantage of this when dealing with targets that are outside of his physical reach.

Passing the Torch
 The Force Awakens / int_78255ad7
comment
Passing the Torch: Part of the relationship between the new stars and original cast. The second trailer re-purposed Luke's "the Force is strong in my family" speech to Leia from Return of the Jedi — which now ends, not begins, with "You have that power too". However, Luke doesn't have any lines in this movie, so the specifics of that line are still up in the air. Han acts as the primary vehicle for the passing the torch from the old guard to the new. He acts as a mentor to both Rey (independent, hard-bitten pilot) and Finn (scrappy kid crushing on a girl out of his league). He gives them both weapons and advice and tries to guide them to a better future than what they imagine for themselves. And then he has an Obi-Wan style death. The movie places a big focus on Rey inheriting Anakin/Luke's lightsaber. She is called to it and receives a Force vision when she touches it, and she is able to summon it to her hand when the person confirmed to be Anakin Skywalker's grandson is unable to do so. Whether this is foreshadowing of her future as Luke's apprentice or a sign that Rey is Anakin Skywalker's granddaughter remains up in the air.

Not With the Safety On, You Won't: Rey, upon using a blaster for the first time, forgets to take off the safety. She fixes this problem quickly. The novelization expands on this with an earlier scene where she tries to use the blaster on Unkar Plutt and his thugs, but is foiled by the safety being engaged. That's why she's quick to figure it out when later confronted by Stormtroopers.

Much of the movie takes place in and around the scrapyards of Jakku, where characters are constantly surrounded by the massive, rusted-out wreckage of the iconic spaceships from the Original Trilogy, which stand as lasting relics of a massive battle that took place decades ago. This is pretty obviously symbolic of the massive legacy of the Original Trilogy itself, which still casts a massive shadow over the entire film industry, despite ending three decades ago; even the scavengers, who eke out a living combing the wreckage for fresh parts, are clearly representative of the fans who kept coming back to the movies, and could always spin new stories from their tiniest background details. When one of those rusted-out relics — the Millennium Falcon — finally takes off for a new destination, it's symbolic of the saga's resurrection.

Establishing Character Moment
 The Force Awakens / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Important ones for Finn, Rey, and Poe. Finn's reaction to his fallen Stormtrooper comrade leaving a Bloody Handprint on his helmet. He directly disobeys Kylo Ren's orders to gun down innocent villagers. This is the first time we see a Stormtrooper express genuine inner-conflict — Finn is just a terrified young man who sees that what he is being asked to do is wrong. At the same time, just because he's refused to be a villain it doesn't immediately make him a hero, even though he clearly wants to be one. Rey's introductory sequence shows us that she is a lonely scavenger whose survival depends on selling whatever she can get her hands on for rations. This makes the scene in which she refuses to hand over BB-8, despite being offered a staggering amount of rations in exchange, all the nobler. Poe is immediately characterized as a well-respected and brave pilot with an undying commitment to General Organa and the Resistance. In his first scene, when faced with the daunting reality that he will be captured by the First Order, he sends BB-8 away and distracts Kylo Ren, buying time for the droid to escape. His reaction to Kylo Ren is undeniably cheeky as well.

Vestigial Empire: In addition to the First Order being this to the old Galactic Empire, it's played with in the case of the New Republic. A disarmament policy sometime after the Battle of Jakku means that its armed presence is significantly reduced from the Rebellion at its height, which in turn prompted Leia to establish the Resistance in the first place. By the time the film takes place, the Resistance is unofficially supported by the Republic.

Reality Is Unrealistic
 The Force Awakens / int_85557b38
comment
Reality Is Unrealistic: A couple of reviewers mocked how Kylo Ren frequently twirls his lightsaber when fighting (ignoring the fact that the Prequel Trilogy had even more complex lightsaber moves). In a behind the scenes featurette, however, the fight trainer for the movie specifically explained that this is what you are supposed to do in real-life swordsmanship: constantly moving your blade, ready to fluidly transition from one position to the next. As he explained, the old trope of dramatic posturing from one static sword stance to another is pure Hollywood, and actually the exact opposite of how real life sword fights should work.

Humiliation Conga

Humiliation Conga: The third act of the movie takes Kylo Ren's relative lack of experience and training and shoves his face in it. First, he discovers to his surprise that not only can he not Mind Probe Rey, she resists it so hard she pushes back into him. Next, his triumphant moment of choosing the Dark Side by killing his father is marred by discovering it actually weakened him instead of making him stronger, and getting shot in the side by Chewbacca's bowcaster. The duel against Finn and Rey marks his lowest point: while vastly more powerful and skilled than Finn, Ren (due to his wound) initially struggles to pin him down, and takes a nick to the shoulder from the non-Force user before defeating him. Against Rey, Ren nearly overpowers her, but his wound and Rey's awakening Force abilities eventually sees him humiliatingly beaten by the untrained neophyte, with a nasty scar across his face for his trouble.

Self-Imposed Exile: Luke was tasked with training Han and Leia's son, Ben, who was showing signs of turning to the Dark Side. When his efforts proved to be in vain and Ben became Kylo Ren — wiping out the New Jedi Order — Luke, feeling that he failed his family and the galaxy, exiled himself to a far-off planet, doomed to be the last Jedi once more. The Last Jedi expands on this, revealing that Luke holds himself responsible for Ben's turn because Luke sensed darkness in him and, for a moment, was ready to kill Ben before he fell to the darkness. In his time since, he has become far more cynical and jaded with the Jedi as a whole as a result.

After Rey and Finn take the Millennium Falcon and fly away, within minutes they just happen to come across Han Solo, the ship's previous owner.

Rule of Symbolism
 The Force Awakens / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: The Starkiller weapon eats stars to power itself. So when the X-wings are trying to destroy it before it fires, they note that as long as there's still light, there's hope. Light from the dying star shines through a window when Han and Kylo Ren meet and as a nod to Return of the Jedi half of Ren's face is in it while the other half is drenched in the building's red utility lighting. The star's light fades right before Kylo kills Han to symbolize his complete descent to the Dark Side. When Rey despairs over Finn's apparent death in the darkened forest, the sudden light from the Millennium Falcon as it swoops in to the rescue is framed almost as if it were a sunrise. After the Starkiller weapon is destabilized, the star it consumed blows it up from the inside, leaving a new sun in its place. Kylo Ren's cross-guard lightsaber has a cracked focusing crystal, causing it to sputter and spark when live and requiring secondary "channels" perpendicular to the blade to vent some of the excess power that the crystal cannot contain. The blade itself mirror's Kylo's inner turmoil, great power, and difficulty with control.

Rewatch Bonus: By the time Rey finds Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber stored in a chest, it's easy to have forgotten that she was originally attracted to Maz's basement by the sound of a crying child. On rewatching it becomes clear that it's Rey crying as she's left behind on Jakku, paralleling her abandonment by Finn. Lor San Tekka (and possibly Poe Dameron's) reactions toward Kylo Ren in the opening sequence on Jakku are put in a new light once you realize Lor, and possibly Poe as well, knew him as "Ben Solo", before his betrayal of the Jedi- and Poe may be intentionally mocking him, reminding him that they're basically the same age and deliberately defying him.

More Teeth than the Osmond Family: The rathtars that Han and Chewie are transporting. They're basically multi-tentacled killing machines with meat grinders for mouths.

Quicksand Sucks
 The Force Awakens / int_9abe931d
comment
Quicksand Sucks: One of the hazards on Jakku is quicksand pits which can swallow people whole. One of these snags the crashed TIE Fighter, which is what convinces Finn that Poe was killed in the crash. Although it seems to be Princess Bride-style dry quicksand, as there's no distinctive slurping, gurgling, or bubbles like the regular stuff. It's also implied to be something eating the ship, as it lets out a belch after the ship's gone completely

Death by Irony: In A New Hope, Han in the Falcon ambushed Vader's fighter wing over the Death Star and nearly killed him, with a quick view of the Falcon as if it emerged out from a bright star above. On Starkiller Base, Vader's grandson and Han's own son, Ben, ambushes and kills Han (with a red lightsaber) and he falls into an abyss below that looks like a bright star.

This Is Reality: When Finn starts his plan to escape by liberating Poe, the latter asks if he's with the Resistance. Finn is bemused, and in the novelization even asks how long Poe thinks a person sympathizing with the Resistance would last on a heavily monitored star-destroyer, full of indoctrinated Stormtroopers.

Homage: The interactions between Kylo Ren and Rey heavily allude to the Persephone myth from ancient Greece. Soon after touching the legacy saber (alluding to the narcissus flower), which appears irresistible to Rey, Kylo Ren descends upon Takodana in his Command Shuttle (Hades' black chariot) dressed as a traditional Death figure (Hades is god of the dead), and abducts Rey from the lush forest (in Persephone it is a lush meadow), bridal carrying her across the threshold of his shuttle (symbolic marriage) then spiriting her away while heralded by four black TIE fighters (Hades' chariot pulled by four black horses). Starkiller Base is a wintery forest (the land grows cold and barren when Demeter looks for her daughter), and Kylo has Rey taken underground to the base (Hades takes Persephone to the underworld). While there, Rey comes to realize her own power in the Force (Persephone realizes her own power as Queen of the Dead), even overpowering and defeating Kylo Ren in their lightsaber duel (in the myth, after becoming queen Persephone is more feared than Hades, who defers to her judgment, even so far as allowing Persephone to keep Adonis, a beautiful young mortal, in the underworld so as not to upset his wife!). Notably, after their suggestive encounter at the cliff Rey no longer wears the white garb she wore throughout the film (Persephone's mother realizes she is no longer a little girl because of the red stain from the pomegranate seeds she ate while with Hades).

Ascended Extra: Captain Phasma. After the first table read was criticized on social media for having too many male stars, the production team bombarded pop culture outlets with tidbits about Phasma and, during reshoots, added her to the assault on Starkiller Base. However, that backfired when the film was released and disappointed audiences wondered why a glorified cameo (like that of Daniel Craig) with a cool Phantasm-inspired costume was hyped like she was a main character.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Averted Trope. The Stormtroopers actually have a somewhat reasonable accuracy rating in this film, and Finn is an exceptionally good shot when he manages to get his hands on a blaster. On the other hand, Rey, who is unused to firing a blaster, takes several shots to hit a single Stormtrooper who isn't moving around.

Kylo speaks of a struggle and asks Han's help. He's clearly struggling between staying on the Dark side or going back to the Light. As Han steps forward to help him, Kylo offers his lightsaber.

Chekhov's Skill
 The Force Awakens / int_acecb17d
comment
Chekhov's Skill: Rey gushes over how Han Solo still holds the record for the Kessel Run. In order for Solo to have completed the run in 12 parsecs, he had to travel through the Maw, dangerously close to multiple black holes and Imperial patrols while in hyperspace, breaking the previous distance and speed record by a significant margin. This skill as a navigator comes in handy when the Millennium Falcon has to travel dangerously close to a planet's gravity field while in hyperspace. Rey has several that help her survive the events of the film. She is shown at the beginning to have spent years scavenging derelict starships, including Imperial Star Destroyers, and would need a working knowledge of what's what in order to find valuable equipment, especially after all the easy stuff had already been taken away. Thus, her knowledge of how to work such equipment later makes sense. One of her Establishing Character Moments occurs while looting a wrecked Star Destroyer; she's free climbing around the machinery inside the superstructure, hundreds of feet from the ground. This later comes in handy when she goes spelunking inside the chasm of Starkiller Base to evade recapture. Finn first meets Rey when he comes across her being assaulted by a couple of other junkers on Jakku. Despite being caught by surprise, outnumbered, and surrounded, she makes short work of them. This scene is a big part of how she is able to hold her own against Kylo Ren at the end of the film.

Oh, Crap!
 The Force Awakens / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: Finn has this reaction several times throughout the story, with the biggest instance being his reaction to Kylo Ren charging at him. Rey's reaction to Kylo Ren bringing his unstable lightsaber right up close to her face. There might be a pattern here. This is both of their reactions to a ship that Rey can pilot getting blown up — JUST as she points it out — as they're trying to escape the First Order's attack on Jakku. The action on board the freighter Eravana becomes a never-ending sequence of these for all characters after the rathtars get loose. Kylo Ren freaks out when Rey successfully resists his attempts to Mind Probe her and proceeds to read him instead. Han's reaction when Finn admits that A) he was stationed at Starkiller Base in sanitation and B) he has no real plan for disabling the shields, he's just come to save Rey.

I Can Still Fight!
 The Force Awakens / int_ae087674

I Can Still Fight!: Kylo Ren takes this to a level not seen since Anakin Skywalker attempted to claw his way to Obi-Wan after having three of his four limbs lopped off on Mustafar. In a very short span of time, he betrays and impales his father, takes a powerful bowcaster bolt to the abdomen and races to intercept Rey and Finn before they can escape Starkiller Base. When he engages them in battle, Finn manages to stab him in the shoulder before inevitably being overpowered. Ren does not fare as well against Rey, who, after finally channelling the Force, leaves him with a nasty gash to the thigh, a deep puncture wound in the shoulder and a lightsaber slash across his face. After all that, he still tries to push himself up off the ground to continue fighting before the earth cracks, separating him from Rey.

Starkiller Base, according to Star Wars: Complete Locations, is only 660 kilometers in diameter, and was apparently a naturally occurring planet according to the databank. It's far too small to have any forests on it as depicted, as its gravity would be too weak to hold an atmosphere, and probably too weak to even walk on, without Artificial Gravity.

Informed Flaw: The reason for Rey defeating Kylo is because the latter is injured from Chewbacca's bowcaster, but Kylo successfully beat Finn in a lightsaber duel just before his fight with Rey despite his injuries, and he moved pretty quickly during the duel for someone whose injuries should've been slowing him down. If anything, injuries seem to make Kylo stronger since he sustained more wounds during his fight with Finn but displayed more agility during his duel with Rey.

What You Are in the Dark: Rey is initially tempted by the offer of months of food for BB-8 (a quarter portion is a meal, she's offered 60, 80 days of food), but can't bring herself to hand him over to a piece of shit in exchange for months of freedom from fear of starvation.

Coming of Age Story
 The Force Awakens / int_b1e8a3b3
comment
Coming of Age Story: Rey and Finn are both technically adults, but were stunted developmentally in childhood, and thus experience the Coming of Age motions throughout the film. Very much in the vein of previous franchise installments, Rey is introduced as a lonely youth living day-to-day on a desolate desert planet. She is terrified to leave, maintaining hope that her family will return for her. By the end of the film, however, she has accepted that they are never coming back, embraced her Force-sensitivity and sought out Luke Skywalker. Like all Stormtroopers in the movie, Finn was stolen from his family and submitted to rigorous training and conditioning by the First Order. He didn't even have a name before turning his back on them. In the film, he adopts a name and is confronted with the task of overcoming his fears in order to save Rey.

Achilles in His Tent: Han Solo turned his back on Leia and the Resistance to go back to smuggling sometime before the film's events due to his son Ben facilitating the massacre at Luke's new Jedi Temple and becoming Kylo Ren. His story arc is about him finally returning to action, reuniting with Leia, and confronting Ben to try and talk him out from under Snoke's dark influence.

Pants-Positive Safety: Han Solo gives Rey a blaster pistol, but no holster. A few minutes later it's casually stuffed through the back of her belt. Solo, the experienced gunman, seemingly has no problem with this. The blaster stays secure through a lot of running and fighting. It does have a safety at least, as seen when she tries firing it.

No OSHA Compliance: The First Order may have improved in some ways, but worker safety isn't one of them. There's a confrontation on a long catwalk over a massive pit that is barely wide enough for one person and has no handrails. Averted when locked doors open upon having vital components removed by Rey. This would be a basic safety procedure to allow workers to escape in an emergency.

comment
Internal Homage: FN-2187 echoes Princess Leia's cell number 2187 in the original Star Wars film, which itself is an homage to a 1963 Sci-Fi short entitled 21-87. A side shot of the Millennium Falcon as it escapes the pursuing TIE Fighters into the Star Destroyer graveyard is nearly identical shot-for-shot to the famous scene where it did the same thing while flying into the asteroid field in The Empire Strikes Back. It also directly references the infrastructure chase of the Death Star II in Return of the Jedi. The shot of Kylo Ren trying to Force-pull Anakin/Luke's lightsaber in the snow only for it to be taken by Rey resembles the shot of Luke trying to grab the lightsaber in the Wampa's cave in The Empire Strikes Back. Han's death partly resembles Emperor Palpatine's death in Return of the Jedi, falling down a shaft after being betrayed. It also resembles the fate of two duelists in the final battle of The Phantom Menace, with Han getting impaled by a lightsaber like Qui-Gon Jinn, before falling into the shaft like Darth Maul. Also, the scene is a dramatic family encounter on a bridge suspended over a shaft.

Gave Up Too Soon: In the novelization, Leia sends scouts to Jakku to look for Poe. The scouts discover Lor San Tekka dead and the entire village destroyed. But then they see Poe's blown-up X-wing and automatically assume he is dead. They don't investigate the X-wing further for body ashes or droid remains or fly around Jakku to make sure Poe is gone, and they don't notice that huge Star Destroyer in the sky.

Fantasy Conflict Counterpart: Does this sound familiar? A once proud empire is defeated and reduced to a shadow of its former self. Following the instability, a new and highly fanatical regime takes control and drives things to a new extreme. This new regime loves to wear black uniforms and has a red logo and commits war crimes against civilians with alarming regularity. They are completely ignored as an actual threat, even when they continuously violate the treaty they signed, because the war-weary populace of The Republic doesn't want to fight them. That's right, this is World War II IN SPACE!

Stopped Numbering Sequels: Both averted and played straight. Chronologically, this film follows the original trilogy movie titled simply Return of the Jedi, and known as Episode VI only retroactively. However, the last live-action Star Wars release was officially titled Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, following the same pattern as other prequel movies. So, if following the release order the numbering was dropped by this movie, but by chronological order it was dropped all the way back when Episode IV: A New Hope was titled simply Star Wars.

Precision F-Strike: While the movie's language is mostly clean (like all Star Wars movies), Finn gets three minor swears. He lets out a subdued "dammit" after being struck during the escape from Jakku, and later calls Poe one "hell of a pilot" during the Resistance's Big Damn Heroes moment. He also says "Hell, no." when Han asks him if he's up to it.

Jump Scare: In the first teaser, Finn pops up in a ball of sweat after a brief shot of Jakku. In the movie, when the rifle blast Kylo Ren has frozen restarts again, this gives Finn a jump. The crashed TIE Fighter suddenly explodes after it sinks into the sand on Jakku, also scaring Finn. When Rey touches Anakin/Luke's lightsaber at Maz Kanata's hideout, she is thrust into a crazy vision kick-started by Vader's mechanical breathing.

Wuxia: The swordplay of the sequel trilogy (so far) is a middle ground between the Prequel and the Original Trilogies; while nowhere near as superhuman, elaborate, and fast as the former, it is certainly more ferocious, energetic, and elegant than the latter, hence resembling the balletic yet still grounded operatic swordplay of 1960's Shaw Brother Wuxia films. This is due to a new brand of practical special effects. The lightsabers the actors wield are larger and heavier than in the prequel, and for the first time in the trilogy are lighted, which not only means realistic light and shadows cast by the sabers, but extra weight in the swords.

We Can Rule Together: Kylo Ren offers to teach Rey the ways of the Force while they're fighting at the climax. Sadly for Kylo, his mentioning the Force rallies Rey into a Heroic Second Wind that allows her to defeat Ren.

Gunship Rescue: Things seem pretty grim for the heroes in the rubble of Maz Kanata's castle — until the panicked First Order troops see the awe-inspiring sight of Resistance X-wings streaking at high-speed over the surface of the lake coming right towards them, followed by Ace Pilot Poe Dameron delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle on the far more numerous TIE Fighters.

Hologram Projection Imperfection: Averted. Holoprojectors have come quite a ways in 30 years, and are much crisper. They also lack the blue monochrome/aura and scan lines they used to have. We get to see old-school holos at the end in side-by-side comparison with the new ones when R2 reactivates and shows his portion of the map, and BB shows the portion contained in the MacGuffin.

Offscreen Teleportation: When Finn first spots Rey and is then forced to run when BB-8 spots him in turn, Rey somehow appears ahead of him to hit him with her staff. Rey and Finn escape the exploding superweapon, leaving a wounded Kylo Ren behind as they run into the woods. Suddenly their way is blocked by Kylo Ren, his lightsaber ready for action. Though they would have had to climb back down the building they'd left Kylo in, as they were a few stories above him when he was wounded, which would have given him something of a head start. Chewbacca is last seen right after he shot Kylo Ren, charging into the exploding Starkiller Base in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, but somehow manages to get back to the Falcon in time to rescue Finn and Rey. Speaking of Kylo Ren, the last we see of him, he's looking too weak to stand from the multiple injuries he's taken, and the planet is already starting to break apart beneath his feet. While Snoke specifically ordered Hux to retrieve Kylo while evacuating the planet (and we can assume the writers want him to return for the next movie), Hux has to have had some means of tracking Kylo's whereabouts and have been able to get there in a hurry if Kylo is going to be appearing in the next movie, because it wasn't more than a minute or two after Chewbacca picked up Finn and Rey that the planet exploded.

Cool Starship

Cool Starship: There's the return of the Millennium Falcon and a new generation X-wing closer to the original concept art. On the First Order side of things, it looks like they're still using TIE Fighters, but sharing the Stormtrooper color scheme of white & black. The second teaser also gave us a glimpse of a new class of Star Destroyer with a ram-like bow that looks to be even bigger than the old Imperial-class ships of the OT. That particular ship is called the Finalizer. Also, when Rey is running for a spaceship she shows a bias for "Cool" ones instead of "Garbage" ones.

The Nicknamer: Rey calls BB-8 "Classified" before he tells her his real designation, and Han calls Finn "Big Deal" when the latter gives an inflated reputation with the Resistance as his background. "Finn" is actually a nickname, too, given to him by Poe because "FN-2187" isn't much of a name. Poe giving him the nickname Finn becomes that much more meaningful when you read the supplementary material. In the First Order almost no Stormtroopers go by their designation when around other Stormtroopers, instead having nicknames given to them by people in their squad. Finn goes by FN-2187 purely because he has no real friends, no-one likes him enough to give him one. Poe naming him like a friend would is showing him he could belong somewhere.

Jedi Mind Trick: Double subverted. Rey is held prisoner, and she has just discovered that she's strong in the Force. She orders a Stormtrooper: "You will remove these restraints and leave the cell with the door open." in a haughty tone. The stormtrooper reacts with a Flat "What". She says it again, now with a scared tone, but he replies instead that he'll "tighten the restraints, you scavenger scum". She repeats it a third time in a confident tone, and now it does the trick. The Stormtrooper releases her, leaves the door open and starts walking away as ordered, at which point she remembers to tell him to drop his weapon, which he also does.

Serial Escalation: Where do you go after double-bladed lightsabers, classy curved hilts & dual-wielding, cyborgs who wield four lightsabers at once, dual-wielding double-bladed lightsabers, double-bladed lightsabers that spin on an axis, and lightsaber-blaster hybrids? A 3-bladed lightsaber with supercharged, unstable blades. While the original trilogy had the Death Star and its rebuilt successor, which were moon-sized space stations capable of destroying planets at a time, the Starkiller Base is a hollowed-out planet capable of destroying entire solar systems at once. Their signature beams immediately highlight this change: while the Death Stars had collective beams gathering into one laser strong enough to destroy a planet, the Starkiller Base has one beam that divides into multiple lasers, with each of them as powerful as the Death Star's collective laser. In addition to the standard blasters, Stormtroopers also use lightsaber-proof stun batons.

Used Future: The film returns to this aesthetic as it was used in the original trilogy, as it is set decades after it. Though a few ships and items look sleeker, such as the Stormtroopers and the X-wings, some things look exactly the same as they did back in Return of the Jedi (or how they would have appeared), give or take a few tweaks (like the Millennium Falcon, which was completely unmodified save for a new satellite dish). Judging from the second teaser, Luke can't even find the materials (or the time) to maintain his prosthetic hand properly.

Genre Throwback: The film mixes the boxy, worn-looking '70s' sci-fi aesthetic of the original trilogy (complete with being filmed on 35mm film instead of digital film, on-location shooting and having a fair amount of practical effects) with digital special effects, elements of the sleeker new age design sense of the prequel trilogy, and cinematography techniques of contemporary films.

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale

comment
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: After Rey and Finn leave Jakku on the Millennium Falcon, they manage to lose the Finalizer without going to lightspeed. All the planets in the Hosnian System are close enough to be visible in the same frame. At the same time, they are distant enough from each other to be visible more than 2-5 degrees apart in Takodana's sky. The destruction of the Hosnian System is immediately visible in the skies above Maz Kanata's castle, even though that system is hundreds if not thousands of light years away. While this has been Hand Waved as the light from the explosions making it through hyperspace, the beam manages to: 1) travel interstellar distances in a matter of seconds; 2) be visible (in real time, not as an optical echo) from Kylo Ren's ship in realspace and from Takodana despite being hyperluminal; 3) only split upon entering the Hosnian system. All in all, everything is treated as if distances were comparable to the Earth-Moon system.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Finn's reaction after being sent on his first mission as a Stormtrooper, in which he watched in horror as an entire village was massacred by the First Order. This prompts him to free Resistance pilot Poe so they can escape together. Some First Order officers start to make a run for it as Starkiller Base is destroyed. Finn doesn't want to join the Resistance, he just wants to be as far away from the First Order as possible. Rey is on board with helping the Resistance, but changes her mind and runs off after touching Anakin's lightsaber and having a horrifying Force-vision of the past. A pair of Stormtroopers, while approaching Kylo Ren's interrogation room, see and hear him having an angry breakdown after Rey escapes, then quickly decide they have other places to be.

Contrived Coincidence
 The Force Awakens / int_dc579c91
comment
Contrived Coincidence: True to Star Wars tradition, there are a few plot-convenient alignments of events. Rey happens to be living on the same planet as Lor San Tekka, the guy who has a section of the map which leads to Luke Skywalker which the First Order desperately wants, and near enough to his village that she can happen across BB-8. The TIE Fighter Poe and Finn steal crashes near enough to Rey's settlement that Finn can reach it without dying of thirst or exposure in the process. Rey happens to be living near the same derelict junkyard where the Millennium Falcon has been parked for the last few years. After Rey and Finn take the Millennium Falcon and fly away, within minutes they just happen to come across Han Solo, the ship's previous owner. This somewhat justified in-story when Han mentions that he was tracking the Falcon's unique engine signature, but the timing is still undeniably convenient. Maz Kanata has Anakin's/Luke's old lightsaber sitting in her castle's basement, ready for Finn and Rey to use. Han lampshades this by asking her where she got it. Han, Chewie and Finn happen to find Captain Phasma after they realize Finn doesn't actually know how to deactivate Starkiller Base's shields, and need to force somebody to do it for them. Han, Chewie and Finn also happen to see Rey climbing up the middle of Starkiller Base — just as they were formulating a plan to find her. When the surface of Starkiller Base is splitting apart at the end and a chasm opens up between Kylo Ren and Rey, Rey happens to be on the side with Finn and the Millennium Falcon.

Our Graphics Will Suck in the Future: Despite 30 years passing in both the galaxy far, far away and the world where it was filmed, the HUD graphics seen still look as if they were programmed for displays available in the late 1970s. It's likely an Enforced Trope to retain the Original Trilogy vibes this movie leans so heavily on. The new ships do have improved graphics, although still stylistically similar to those of the originals. The Falcon however is still using its original, extremely basic HUD.

Too Desperate to Be Picky: After crash-landing on a desert planet and making the trek to a remote outpost, Finn is thirsty enough to choke down water from an animal trough, gagging all the while. The trough is even being used by some hideous, runny-nosed pack creature at the time. When Finn and Rey have to escape Jakku, they first run to a perfectly good ship...which gets destroyed seconds later. They're forced to go with the "junk" ship nearby, that "hasn't flown in years", just to escape their enemies.

Deadly Deferred Conversation: While fleeing the castle, Han asks Maz the justified question of where the hell she got Anakin/Luke's lightsaber from, as Luke lost it into the depths of Bespin. She replies that it's a good question for another time. Sadly, there won't be another time. In the novelization, Han says there's something he's been wanting to say to Leia for a long time, but Leia tells him to save it for when he gets back from Starkiller Base.

Heroic Second Wind: After running away desperately from a rampaging Kylo Ren and finally getting cornered in a saber-lock with a chasm behind her, Rey finally channels the Force and gets the upper hand on Ren. Her first hit nicks him in the leg and shears off part of his trenchcoat. Her second successful blow is a hard thrust into his left shoulder. After winning a grapple, she busts his lightsaber and then rakes his face for the third and final blow before he goes down for the count.

Decoy Protagonist: While all three members of our Power Trio are important, Rey is clearly the focus of the story, yet they are introduced to us in reverse order of their relevance to the overall story — first Poe (who's also the only one alluded to in the opening crawl), then Finn, then Rey. Even after all three of them are properly established, the focus doesn't shift fully to Rey until after Finn tries to hitch a ride off of Takodana and Rey finds Anakin's lightsaber right where Finn left it. The trailers also lead one to believe Finn to be the main character, even giving him a lightsaber on the poster and certain parts of the trailers. It isn't until Finn loses his fight with Kylo Ren that Rey picks up the lightsaber.

History Repeats: Once again, a rag-tag group of rebels must face down an oppressive and evil empire, are pursued by a fallen Jedi in black armor, and menaced by a powerful weapon capable of destroying planets, albeit one ten times more powerful than the Death Star. One of this rebellion's key actors is a youth from a backwater planet far removed from the conflict, who is unwillingly drawn into the battle and must learn the ways of the Force. Additionally, the New Republic is just as flawed and weak as the previous one, and are once again menaced by an order dissatisfied with the way they run the galaxy.

 The Force Awakens / int_e6558beb
comment
Artistic License – Space: The destruction of the several inhabited planets of the Hosnian system is clearly visible with the naked eye, from what is explicitly a different star system entirely, in real time, during the local day, without even using any psychic vision handwavium. J. J. Abrams previously did more or less the same thing in Star Trek (2009). Starkiller Base, according to Star Wars: Complete Locations, is only 660 kilometers in diameter, and was apparently a naturally occurring planet according to the databank. It's far too small to have any forests on it as depicted, as its gravity would be too weak to hold an atmosphere, and probably too weak to even walk on, without Artificial Gravity. When Starkiller Base explodes, the star matter it sucked in to power its weapon quickly reignites as a star... one the same apparent size as Starkiller Base had been. A star that size is impossible because it couldn't possibly contain enough mass to fuse hydrogen.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Han and Finn have gotten a hold of Rey, and managed to drop the Starkiller Base's shield just prior, their mission for all intents and purposes is done. When they see that Poe's squadron can't breach the weak point of the base thanks to its much heavier protection, Han decides to use the explosives they have on hand to help out. This decision ultimately leads to the destruction of the base at the cost of his death at the hands of Kylo Ren.

Drama-Preserving Handicap: Before the climactic fight scene between Kylo Ren and Finn and Rey, Ren takes a bowcaster bolt to the abdomen and is shown to be bleeding from the wound, so that it's more realistic someone with zero formal training with a lightsaber or the Force could stand a chance against him. Kylo's reaction when Finn actually scores a minor hit on him, and how thoroughly he Curb Stomps Finn right afterwards, also suggests that even with his wound he wasn't taking the fight seriously before then.

Conveniently Close Planet: Maz's planet is close enough to the Hosnian system for Hosnian Prime's destruction to be visible shortly after the event. The bar also happens to conveniently be on the side of the planet facing the Hosnian system at the time. The Millennium Falcon is captured within a few minutes of popping out of hyperspace. Then that freighter itself is docked simultaneously by two other ships (though those two ships had admittedly already been tracking the big freighter).

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Jakku to Tatooine; both desert planets where the Jedi prodigy is doing repetitive work and then becomes the center of a clash between the First Order and the Resistance. Hosnian Prime is another metropolis planet similar to Coruscant until it's destroyed by the First Order. The Resistance is this to the Rebel Alliance; an undermanned, outclassed but well-meaning faction fighting a superior force.

comment
Running Gag: Finn's inability to understand any language other than Basic, be it droidspeak, Shyriiwook, or anything else. Finn not having a blaster during fight sequences. First on Jakku, then during the rathtar sequence, before finally at Maz's castle. When he finally gets his hand on a Stormtrooper blaster, he immediately shows why he wanted one. Finn lying badly about being a Resistance member. Only Rey buys it. Even BB-8 manages to look skeptical, which is quite a feat given his utter lack of changeable facial expression. On Jakku, Finn keeps mistakenly treating Rey like a Damsel in Distress. He tries to rescue her from muggers, only to watch her beat up the muggers before he gets there and then start chasing him down. He keeps grabbing her hand to lead their flight from the Stormtroopers, causing her to gripe at him each time and ultimately offer him a hand when he falls over. When he's knocked unconscious, he snaps back awake and asks if she's okay.

Canon Immigrant: The term "Light Side" and the implied dichotomy of equal opposing aspects were never used in the previous movies, though the dichotomy was addressed in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.note In fact, in the Mortis arc, we got to meet what amounted to the Anthropomorphic Personification of the Light Side. The DVD featuring said arc makes it clear everything established on the series about the Light Side and its role originated in Lucas' own personal notes and was approved by him for use. Similarly, the Star Wars Battlefront (2015) tie-in to the game first introduced the term "New Republic" for canon material (after long usage in the Legends continuity), which is used in this film. As no canon work after Return of the Jedi was released before this movie was in post-production, this is the first time that the term is pulled over from the Legends setting.

Brick Joke

comment
Brick Joke: When Han first inspects the Millennium Falcon, he notes a compressor on the fuel switch, saying it puts too much stress on the hyperdrive. When he's trying to leave and can't get the Falcon to start, Rey points to the compressor. After that, when they're having trouble with the hyperdrive, Rey rips the compressor out to fix the problem.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. Finn and Rey end up filthy and sweaty after their escape from Jakku, and Ren ends up with a nasty scar after the fight on Ilum/the Starkiller Base.

comment
Talking Is a Free Action: Averted. After Finn and Poe hijack a TIE Fighter and are pursued by enemy forces, Poe starts to explain why he needs to return to Jakku and pick up BB-8. The two get into an argument because Finn doesn't understand why they're going planetside just to pick up a droid, and in the process get nailed by a missile Finn is too distracted to pick off.
