Line #81 Funny/TheRiseOfSkywalker


1	'''WARNING: Spoilers are unmarked on Funny Moments pages.'''
2
3	* Rey meditating in her first scene. Her scoff of frustration is priceless.
4	-->"Be with me...be with me...be with me. ''(opens her eyes)'' They're not with me. ''Ugh''”.
5	* 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.
6	* When the ''Falcon'' returns to the base, Poe and Rey get into a heated argument and [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Finn is trying to defuse the situation between the two]] and [[CharacterTic rolling his eyes]] upon realization that they weren't listening to him. Keep in mind Poe severely damaged the ''Falcon'' by lightspeed skipping through walls and objects and Rey dropped a tree on BB-8 who had tailed Rey on her training run, damaging him. Poe was clearly more distressed about one missing ring on BB-8 than the crumbling ''Falcon'', outright claiming its in better shape than BB-8.
7	** And this may be the last time we see the ''Falcon'', so of ''course'' she's gonna [[ButtMonkey get the crap beaten out of her one more time]].
8	* After Rey tends to D-O's squeaky wheel, the droid is excited, and ''does laps'' around BB-8 while BB-8 simply gazes at D-O and twists around.
9	* 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. When they have to stop playing, Chewie growls a warning and they assure him they won't turn off the game. Then once Chewie is out of earshot, they again agree that he cheats and turn off the game.
10	* 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 [[/note]]]] blurts out: "I like it!" It comes out of nowhere, and it's nothing like [[OutOfCharacterMoment the professional demeanor we expect out of First Order officers.]] It sounds more like a group of coworkers having a conversation about another coworker's new haircut or tattoo.
11	* After they land on Pasaana, Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, BB-8, and Threepio are walking through the crowd. Poe tells everyone that the First Order may be watching and to keep their heads down. Then he points out Chewie - who crouches.
12	** How did Lando recognize the group?
13	--->'''Lando''': [[BrickJoke Wookiees stand out in a crowd.]]
14	* 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, 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]].
15	* The group find themselves sucked into a desert pit and into the underground caverns.
16	-->'''Poe''': Finn! Rey!
17	-->'''Threepio''': [[DeadpanSnarker I know you didn't ask me, Sir, but I am fine]].
18	* In the same scene, [=3PO=] also asked if droids were allowed here. There was no [[ContinuityNod bartender saying that he doesn't]] [[Film/ANewHope serve their kind here]], was there? Even better Threepio asked if this was the afterlife, and wondered if droids were permitted. If droids ''weren't'' permitted in the afterlife, how would they get there to find out they aren't permitted?
19	* 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."
20	* Coming upon Ochi's skeletal remains, Poe remarks "Bones. I don’t like bones." It doesn't seem all that funny, until you realize the screenwriter ''had'' to be counting on fans following the line up with "[[Film/AttackOfTheClones They're coarse and rough and they get everywhere!"]]
21	* Threepio says that he can translate the Sith markings on the dagger...only his programming prevents him from ever uttering or even translating the [[BlackSpeech Sith language]].
22	-->'''Poe''': The ''one'' time we need you to talk, you can't?\
23	'''Threepio:''' {{Irony}}, sir.
24	* 3PO reveals that the dagger's inscription resides only in his memory. All three turn to look at him. He then says that the procedure is so barbaric that only dregs would attempt it.
25	--> '''Finn:''' [[WithFriendsLikeThese Let's do that.]]
26	* The collective reaction to seeing stormtroopers with jetpacks:
27	-->'''C-3PO:''' ''(panicked)'' They fly now!\
28	'''Finn:''' ''(incredulous)'' They fly now?!\
29	'''Poe:''' ''([[TheTriple resigned]])'' [[RuleOfThree They fly now!]]
30	** Funnier if one reads the comics set before the movie, where Poe actually confronted jetpack-equipped stormtroopers before, which makes his complete non-surprise and exasperation even more understandable.
31	* 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.
32	* Hux shamelessly tries [[ProfessionalButtKisser kissing up]] to [[NoNonsenseNemesis Allegiant General Pryde]] by badmouthing the 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.
33	* Poe finds himself at gunpoint by old flame Zorii as it turns out she's ticked he dumped her after a spice smuggling mission gone wrong.
34	-->'''Finn''': You were a spice runner?!\
35	'''[[DeadpanSnarker Poe]]''': You were a stormtrooper?\
36	'''Rey''': Were you a spice runner?\
37	'''Poe''': Were you a scavenger? We could do this all night!
38	* Finn not letting up on Poe about his past.
39	-->'''Finn:''' Poe Dameron, spice runner. Runner of spice.
40	** Becomes HilariousInHindsight when Oscar Isaac was cast as [[Film/Dune2021 another character involved in a Spice trade.]]
41	* Rey using a JediMindTrick on two Stormtroopers when she, Poe and Finn board Kylo's Star Destroyer to free Chewbacca.
42	-->'''Rey:''' It's okay that we're here.\
43	'''Stormtrooper 1:''' It's okay that you're here.\
44	'''Stormtrooper 2:''' It's good.\
45	'''Rey:''' ...You're relieved that we're here!\
46	'''Stormtrooper 2:''' Thank goodness you're here...\
47	'''Stormtrooper 1:''' Welcome, guys.\
48	'''Poe:''' [to Finn] Does she do that to us!?
49	** Ironic here because this is the first time over the 3 movies that Poe and Finn have seen the Jedi mind trick.
50	* When Finn, Poe and Chewie are captured by a large group of troopers, Finn simply says a rather candid "[[OhCrap Hey, fellas!]]" before dropping his weapons, followed by Chewie growling in a way that sounds like [[ThisIsGonnaSuck nervous laughter]].
51	* When Hux reveals himself to be the Resistance's mole within the First Order, Poe gives a BigWhat and Finn gives a shocked "You?!". Poe then gives a very unconvincing [[KnewItAllAlong "I knew it!"]] to Finn responding with "No, you didn't!"
52	** The fact that Hux announces his betrayal as him not wanting the rebellion to win, but [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal wanting Kylo Ren to lose]].
53	* As sad as it is to see Threepio restored to factory settings, many of his post-memory wipe interactions are quite funny. "I would know if I had a best friend!"
54	** His first post-memory-wipe dialogue:
55	--->'''C-3PO:''' I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations. And you are?\
56	'''Poe:''' OK, [[DidntThinkThisThrough that's going to be a problem]].
57	** While everyone else is caught up in the current events, [[YouNoTakeCandle Babu Frik]] happily introduces himself to C-3P0. The droid later refers to Babu as his oldest friend.
58	* After Hux brings the group back to their ship, he asks Finn to shoot him in the arm on the way out in order to maintain his cover. Finn opts to shoot him in the leg instead.
59	* Hux tells Pryde the rebels forced him to take them to their ship. [[NoNonsenseNemesis Pryde casually kills him]] and then [[BondOneLiner calls Kylo to inform him they found the spy]].
60	* The ''Millennium Falcon'' arrives at the Endor moon -- with ''[[Film/{{Solo}} another]]'' crash landing. That's ''twice'' in one movie she gets beaten up.
61	* When Finn has something important to tell Poe, Poe promotes him to General. [[DelayedReaction It takes a second]], but Finn quickly thanks him before continuing.
62	* R2's reunion with a memory-wiped C-3PO is, at first, set up like a tragic TearJerker moment. But, one GilliganCut later, and R2 has already ordered a memory restoration check on 3PO.
63	** 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]]..."
64	*** Especially since [[RunningGag this is the]] [[RuleOfThree third time]] [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack that Artoo has had to]] [[Film/AttackOfTheClones perform extensive repairs on Threepio]].
65	*** Not to mention [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith the second time Artoo has had to help Threepio through a memory wipe]].
66	** Threepio also posited that R2 ''might'' have a memory back up, but that they weren't always reliable. R2 restored him up to exactly how he was before leaving on the mission. From Threepio's perspective, [[MinorInjuryOverreaction it was like a blackout at worst]].
67	*** Earlier, C-3PO, after his memory wipe, referred to Babu as his "oldest friend". We ''all'' know R2-D2 probably took offence to this and restored C-3PO's memory ''just'' to spite Babu.
68	* Blink and you'll miss it, but Rey's mother is portrayed by Creator/JodieComer, aka ''[[Series/KillingEve Villanelle!]]'' [[WhatCouldHaveBeen And somehow]], she's ''not'' [[ActorAllusion the Palpatine of the family?!?]]
69	* After throwing driftwood at the burning wreck of Kylo's TIE Fighter on Ahch-To, Rey takes her lightsaber and throws it into the flames... only for Luke's Force ghost to catch it before chastising her.
70	-->'''Luke:''' [[HypocriticalHumor A Jedi's weapon deserves more respect.]]
71	** And then he lifts his X-Wing out of the water with one hand... and it's covered in seaweed, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent draining the water off during the entire scene.]] He also has a look on his face that screams "Do I fail now, Yoda?"
72	* The redeemed Ben Solo racing to join Rey on Exegol, not wasting time on the elevator and instead just throwing himself into the pit, wildly flailing, to land with a blasé "ow." He's his father's son, alright.
73	* Rey gets ready for a strike with her lightsaber behind her back, Palpatine gets ready to receive the killing blow... and [[MoodWhiplash then]], she shows him an empty hand, like she just pulled a magic trick.
74	* Ben's cocky shrug at the Knights of Ren after receiving the Skywalker lightsaber before ripping into them. Bonus points for being [[LikeFatherLikeSon heavily reminiscent of Han's iconic shrug]] from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
75	* A revived Palpatine mocks Ben by telling the redeemed Skywalker "As once I fell, so falls the last Skywalker!". The way he says it while holding Ben in a Force choke gives the impression that he was speaking metaphorically, using "fell" as a synonym for "was defeated" or "died", and thus he is going to kill the last Skywalker and be done with it. He then reveals he was being ''very literal'' and throws Ben down an energy filled chasm [[EvilIsPetty in revenge for Vader throwing him down the energy shaft on the Death Star]].
76	* When Zorri shows up at the final battle, there's a heartfelt scene as she flies alongside Poe... and then Babu Frik pops up in the cockpit window with a happy shout.
77	* [[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.
78	* During the final celebration, Chewbacca ''finally'' gets the medal for his role in the first Death Star's destruction.
79	* After getting back from retrieving the dagger from Kylo's quarters, there's a bit of a FunnyBackgroundEvent as Rey arrives back at the ship and hands the bowcaster she'd been using to Threepio. If you watch him, he looks down at it like, "What am I supposed to do with this?"
80	* During the victory montage showing defeated Star Destroyers falling from the sky over various planets, we see one preparing to crash into the ground at Jakku a short distance away from the ''[[Film/TheForceAwakens other]]'' one we'd already seen.
81	* The universe has tried for ''over fifty years'' to kill off the Skywalker family. In the end, it takes ''The Skywalkers themselves'' to do it. Anakin chose to die for his son, Luke to save the Resistance, Leia for her son and Ben for love.
