* MayTheFarceBeWithYou: In addition to covering the movie, the review doubles as a lampoon of ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'', which the Critic [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS2E51 reviewed back in 2009]]. The underlying sketch in the review shows Critic/Chewbacca and Snob/Han traveling to Kashyyk to learn the customs of "''Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhoo''-nnakuh", only for the latter to realize that they are actually going to review ''The Force Awakens'', while it is also revealed that Critic/Chewbacca's family are actually Gungans.

* TropesAreNotBad: At the end, both the Critic and the Snob acknowledge that the film's recycling of elements from the original trilogy is not only done in a refreshing way, but it also helps the franchise start anew and redeem itself after the disastrous reception to the prequel trilogy.
