Line 12:
** The mannerisms of the First Order are similar to some of the worst dictatorships in history -- complete with training [[Child Soldiers]], killing a massive number of civilians on-screen, General Hux giving a fanatical speech in front of his army, and heavily punishing dissenters.
** Han's and Leia's reaction to their son working for the First Order is akin to learning that your child has willingly joined a cult.
* [[Alas, Poor Yorick]]: Kylo Ren has somehow managed to obtain most of Darth Vader's charred helmet and he's mainly talking to it to lament how he's failing to become as strong as him.
* [[The Cavalry]]: Finn, Solo, and Chewbacca are on the verge of being overrun by the First Order in the ruins of Maz's cantina. As the Stormtroopers were processing their new prisoners, Poe Dameron leads a squadron of X-Wings to free the heroes from their captors and the battle gains a second wind as Poe decimates the First Order's air support and the occasional Stormtrooper.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: The Stormtroopers of the First Order are supposed to be loyal and apathetic, among other things. FN-2187 quickly grew a conscience after his first mission and started planning to desert the First Order.
* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: FN-2187 never knew what his actual name was and his serial number was too cumbersome for Poe to repeat, so Poe just went with "Finn" and the name stuck.
* [[Time Skip]]: When it comes to the franchise's timeline, the films range from being set several months to a decade from each other. ''The Force Awakens'' breaks the trend by taking ''thirty years'' after the events of ''[[Return of the Jedi].]''
* [[Vestigial Empire]]: The First Order is essentially the continuation of the Galactic Empire after they've been hiding on the outskirts of the galaxy for around 30 years.
* [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]]: In a nutshell, Starkiller base is the new Death Star. Except that it can destroy several planets at once from a remote location and it gets most of it's energy from absorbing stars.
* [[What a Piece of Junk!]]: Given its derelict state and age, the ''Millennium Falcon''{{'}}s appearance on Jakku prompts Rey to call it a piece of garbage.
