History Funny / TheRiseOfSkywalker

* After repairing his helmet, Kylo Ren asks Hux if he's [[FashionVictimVillain disturbed by his appearance.]] Hux, [[SarcasmMode very disingenuously]] tells him he did a good job. It's a somewhat tense moment... Until a [[EqualOpportunityEvil young, black, female officer]] [[note]] [[AllThereInTheManual Supreme Ground Forces Commander Bellava Parnedee [[/folder]] blurts out: "I like it!" It comes out of nowhere, and it's nothing like [[OutOfCharacterMoment the professional demeanor we expect from First Order officers.]] It sounds more like a group of coworkers having a conversation about another coworker's new haircut or tattoo.

* About a week before release, Walt Disney Studios uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_hnqcqyYxU this]] silly little skit where Creator/DaisyRidley is trying to do some promo for the film, only for Creator/JoshGad to crash the shoot and ask her for spoilers. When she refuses, nearly two dozen different celebrities pop in through the door to their little set trying to get answers out of her for all of the most popular questions and off-the-wall theories fans are hoping will be answered in the film. Naturally, HilarityEnsues. It gets funnier when you realize this was probably shot after Gad received his spoiler while on the film's set.

* In an [[https://youtu.be/UU2KekIljbU interview]] with Creator/ConanOBrien, Creator/JoshGad reveals that he was invited by Creator/DaisyRidley to the last day of shooting...and the first thing he saw on the set was Creator/IanMcDiarmid saying "You are my granddaughter!", thereby making him the first person who got a spoiler.

* Quite a few people watching the teaser without the benefit of Ian [=McDiarmid's=] appearance after its debut at Star Wars Celebration got the impression that it was ''Luke'' laughing, thanks to being so similar to Mark Hamill's iconic [[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse Joker]] laugh.
* During production, a few bones were made about Lando rejoining the crew of the ''Falcon'' after "betraying" his best friend in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. Billy Dee was asked about this at Celebration by Stephen Colbert. His reply?

* Daisy Ridley reported that Carrie Fisher messed with her while filming the hug scene that ended up in this movie, whispering "This is a fucking long hug!"
* On his Instagram, [[https://twitter.com/oscarpoes/status/1200461874837565441 John Boyega posted a video]] where he writes a heartfelt ink letter to Oscar Isaac, turning the HoYay between Finn and Poe UpToEleven.

* [[https://remezcla.com/film/oscar-isaac-ethnic-hips-millennium-falcon/ In an interview with ''Happy Sad Confused'' podcast]] Oscar Isaac mentions struggling to fit into the Millennium Falcon pilot chair because "...they clearly don’t make it for ethnic hips. Harrison Ford did not have a butt because this is not working for me".
* In an [[https://youtu.be/UU2KekIljbU interview with Conan O'Brien]], Creator/JoshGad reveals that he was invited by Daisy Ridley to the last day of shooting...and the first thing he saw on the set was Ian [=McDiarmid=] saying "You are my granddaughter!", thereby making him the first person who got a spoiler.

** The very first dialogue:

* As Kylo is preparing to go after Rey, Hux starts speaking out, only for Kylo to shut him up with a single raised finger and annoyed DeathGlare, like Han did to Threepio in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. LikeFatherLikeSon, indeed. Even better. . . there's a split second his hand comes up and it ''looks'' like he might be readying a Force Choke or Slam or. . . some other Force Unpleasantness. . . but no, he's just shushing Hux.

** Considering [[BeleagueredAssistant R2's usual demeanor]], you can imagine him thinking "Oh, for the love of the Force. . . ''what'' happened?? [[SurroundedByIdiots Gotta do everything around here]]..."

* [[CasanovaWannabe Poe's flirting with Zorri]] at the end of the film, [[FacialDialogue all done through facial expressions]]. She's not interested. And he just kinda nods like "Okay, that's fair." Bear in mind, all done with facial expressions. . . ''and Zorri has a face-concealing helmet''. Her NoJustNoReaction coming clear as day through that is amusing in and of itself.

'''[[DeadpanSnarker Poe]]''': Were you a scavenger? We could do this all night!

* As they prepare to explore the cave, Rey [[MundaneUtility ignites the Skywalker Family Lightsaber]], giving us that thrilling ''snap-hiss''. Not to be outdone, Poe ignites... his flashlight. With a little "''doink''" sound. Immediately, Poe gives a look that says, "What am I doing?" or "I wish I had a lightsaber too."

* When our heroes arrive on Pasaana, they find out that 3PO neglected to inform them that instead of the deserted planet they expected to look for the Sith Wayfinder on, they're arriving at the Aki-Aki Festival of the Ancestors with thousands of Aki-Aki aliens. Which happens only once every 42 years. The entire group turns to stare at 3PO in frustration - who [[ComicallyMissingThePoint turns around to look behind him for whatever they're looking at]].

-->"Be with me...be with me...be with me. ''(opens her eyes)'' They're not with me." ''Ugh''.

* There's something funny about how the already adorable BB-8 has to get an even smaller cute droid as a companion - and when BB-8 cocks its head, the companion droid D-O does the same thing. There's something inherently funny about the name too.

*** Earlier, C3PO, after his memory wipe, referred to Babu as his "oldest friend". We ''all'' know R2-D2 probably took offence to this and restored C3PO's memory just to spite Babu.

--->'''Lando''': [[BrickJoke Wookiees stand out in a crowd]].

-->'''Poe''': The ''one'' time we want you to talk, you won't talk?\\

* While on the ''Falcon'', Poe and Finn play Chewie at Dejarik, and are losing. They wonder if he cheats, much to the Wookie's anger, before saying that he's over 200 years old, so he must have more experience than both of them combined. Then once Chewie is out of earshot, they again agree that he cheats and turn off the game.

* [[CasanovaWannabe Poe's flirting with Zorri]] at the end of the film, all done through facial expressions. [[NoSell She's not interested]]. And he just kinda nods like "Okay, that's fair."

* Ben's cocky shrug at the Knights of Ren after recieving the Skywalker lightsaber before ripping into them. Bonus points for being [[LikeFatherLikeSon heavily reminiscent of Han's iconic shrug]] from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.

* Rey meditating in her first scene.
-->"Be with me...be with me...be with me. ''(opens her eyes)'' They're not with me." [''scoffs'']

* Hux shamelessly tries [[ProfessionalButtKisser kissing up]] to [[NoNonsenseNemesis Allegiant General Pryde]] by badmouthing Knights of Ren for their failure to capture Rey's group... which [[DirtyCoward he only did]] because neither Kylo Ren nor the other knights were in the room. Pryde is completely unimpressed and dismissively cuts him off, stating that he already read the report.

** While everyone else is caught up in the current events, Babu Frik happily introduces himself to C-3P0. The droid later refers to Babu as his oldest friend.

** Considering [[BeleagueredAssistant R2's usual demeanor]], you can imagine him thinking "Oh, for the. . . ''what'' happened?? [[SurroundedByIdiots Gotta do everything around here]]..."
