* The First Order casually picking off the evacuating Resistance transports and ignoring the decoy Holdo set up with the cruiser. It's enough to bring her to the brink of tears as she desperately urges the evacuation to continue.

Added DiffLines:

** There's a rather nasty sound effect accompanying the choke, and unlike other Force Chokes we've seen Hux doesn't just clench his throat; his ''entire body'' seizes up. Together with Hux coughing up blood, it's clear that Kylo wasn't just strangling him, but flat-out ''crushing his windpipe''.

Added DiffLines:

* The fact that the plot is literally ''the rebels being chased by the First Order''. It's clearly established in ''The Force Awakens'' that The First Order is relentless; this film ''does not'' shy away from showing it. To name just one example; the rebels are tracked ''through light speed''.

Speculation does not make for Nightmare Fuel. Also, some of the entries here do not describe why they're haunting even after watching.


* Snoke's ship, the ''Supremacy'', showing up out of hyperspace. Death Stars not included, it is the largest starship ever seen in ''Star Wars'' (if the Dreadnought the First Order just lost was still there, it would be dwarfed) and the dark shadow of its gigantic ominous shape comes with ominous sirens.
** The ''Supremacy'' can track entire fleets through lightspeed. It's an ImplacableMan with the shape of a starship the size of Rhode Island.
** The ''Supremacy'' casually blasting away most of the Rebel transports, each hit killing dozens of an already heavily dwindled down Resistance.

* The Resistance's FighterLaunchingSequence comes to an abrupt end when Kylo Ren flies through the hangar bay to deliver a torpedo strike, destroying all of the fighters and wiping out many of the pilots and maintenance crews before they could launch.

* If you look closely during the scene where Kylo Force Chokes Hux, the latter is ''[[BloodFromTheMouth coughing blood]]''.

** The dreadnought itself exits hyperspace dangerously close to the camera, and it's terrifying to behold. It sports a dark grey color scheme with red effects and appears to be clad in spikes, bringing Film/ShinGodzilla to mind.

* Canto Bight is initially presented as a ShiningCity and Finn is left awestruck, initially not understanding why Rose doesn't like the place. Then she shows why: not only is it a city of people profitting from selling weapons to both the Resistance and the First Order, its entertainment in particular runs off of enslaved, abused animals and ''children''. In particular, Finn looks through a mounted telescope and sees fathiers and young stable hands being administered ''electric shocks''. No wonder he quickly changes his mind about the whole place.

* It's chilling to see DJ just casually sell Finn, Rose, and basically ''the entire Resistance'' out to the First Order [[OnlyInItForTheMoney just to turn a juicy profit]]. It might've been slightly understandable for him to do it out of a desire to save himself, but he has such a [[LackOfEmpathy callous attitude]] towards the duo who asked him for help that one can't help but wonder if he's screwed over the lives of others in a similar fashion.

** A force of Resistance bombers attempts an attack on the dreadnought while being swarmed by TIE Fighters. A spectacular case of DisasterDominoes wipes out most of the bombers in one fell swoop after a burning fighter crashes into the bomb bay of one of them. We get to see one of the bombers exploding from the POV of Paige, who is visibly taken aback by the sight of her comrades being wiped out with such sudden brutality.

* Poe and Holdo can't agree on how to best handle a desparate situation against the First Order where fighting back is suicide, and it ends up with Poe committing mutiny and having his closest allies ''hold Holdo and company at gunpoint''. The Resistance, the last bit of hope in the galaxy, is nearly destroyed not just by the First Order, but also by [[WeAreStrugglingTogether internal conflict]] aboard the only major ship left.

* Canto Bight seems like a ShiningCity and Finn doesn't understand why Rose hates it so much...until the latter points out a fathier stable where one of the owners uses ''electric shocks'' to control the poor animals and employs ''children'' as slave labor.

* The film opens with the evacuation of D'Qar, but the Resistance is soon found out by a fleet of First Order Star Destroyers. This already puts a lot of pressure on the evacuating Resistance ships, but then out of hyperspace comes a thundering roar: a Mandator-IV Dreadnought, an even bigger threat dwarfing the Star Destroyers, heralded by multiple blaring sirens, readying its two immense orbital cannons at the Resistance's base. Poe is not kidding when he calls the ship a monster they've got to take down, lest the Resistance be annihilated.
