9	''Please add entries in the following format:''
10	* The meme. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme.[[/labelnote]]
11	** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
12	----
13	* Star Wars Celebration debuted a teaser trailer immediately followed by a surprise appearance from Creator/IanMcDiarmid to further hype up the audience, immediately leading to multiple memes:
14	** [[ContractualImmortality "No one's ever really gone."]] Cue EvilLaugh [[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer used this line to tease Emperor Palpatine reappearing. People juxtapose the line on other characters who clearly died like Biggs Darklighter and Count Dooku.[[/labelnote]]
15	** "[[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Oh, I'm afraid]] the Emperor will be [[BackFromTheDead quite operational]] when your friends arrive..." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Repurposing the Emperor's line about the Death Star II to refer to himself.[[/labelnote]]
16	** ''Star Wars: WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]''The Emperor's New Groove'' is an animated Disney film, and ''Star Wars'' is now a Disney property.[[/labelnote]]
17	** "In case of Last Jedi failure break glass" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Image edit of a fire alarm replacing the "In case of fire break glass" text and adding a picture of Emperor Palpatine behind the glass. The meme suggests his return is an attempt to WinBackTheCrowd of people who disliked the named film.[[/labelnote]]
18	** [[Film/ThePhantomMenace "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Repurposing Palpatine's line from ''The Phantom Menace'' to acknowledge his surprise return, which wasn't foreshadowed in the previous two films but still delighted many fans.[[/labelnote]]
19	* The droid D-0's name is pronounced "Dee-Oh", which became meme-fuel for many ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' fans, as well as a resurgence in references to an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''.
20	* "They fly now!?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Finn, C-3PO and Poe's reaction after seeing First Order Jet Troopers chase after them is of bewilderment and surprise even though jet packs are nothing new in-universe and Poe encountered jumptroopers earlier in the comic series ''ComicBook/StarWarsPoeDameron''.[[/labelnote]]
21	** "They [X] now!?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]"Fly" gets swapped with another word depending on the context.[[/labelnote]]
22	** "They been using them since the Clone Wars."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Creator/JohnBoyega's [[https://twitter.com/JewishHawkeye/status/1207939587768750081 response]] to this line.[[/labelnote]]
23	* "Palpatine fucks." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Using the existing "[X] fucks" meme to react to TheReveal that Rey is Palpatine's granddaughter via his [[RememberTheNewGuy newly-revealed]] son, who is presumed to have been conceived via intercourse, though [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]] later revealed that he was actually a clone. The idea of the [[{{Gonk}} not-so-attractive]] Palpatine having sex with ''anyone'' is {{squick}}y/hilarious. Became an AscendedMeme when Palpatine's actor Creator/IanMcDiarmid said in an interview that he believes "[Palpatine] ''does'' [have sex]".[[/labelnote]]
24	** "[[Memes/RevengeOfTheSith Execute Order]] [[LOL69 69]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Order 66, which was Palpatine's order for the clones to kill Jedi, plus the sexual position.[[/labelnote]]
25	** [[Film/{{Spaceballs}} "Druish princesses are often attracted to money and power."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Using this quote to express that Emperor Palpatine's status is why a woman would willingly hook up with him and bear his child.[[/labelnote]]
26	** "Do It" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Echoing Palpatine's words when telling Anakin to kill Dooku. Implied to be what Palpatine would've said to a sexual partner.[[/labelnote]]
27	* "Palpatine wins." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A declaration that Palpatine's death and failure to re-conquer the galaxy is still a victory because he set in motion Ben Solo's fall, which resulted in extinguishing the Skywalker bloodline and ruining many of their efforts. In a sense, getting a spiteful last laugh victory over the Skywalkers, on top of Rey, his genetic heir, taking the Skywalker name, replacing their bloodline. [[/labelnote]]
28	** "The Palpatine Saga" / ''Episode IX: The Rise of Palpatine'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Renaming the saga or the film to say the saga had been turned into a story about the Palpatines since Rey is part of this bloodline, she ultimately defeats her grandfather instead of [[TheChosenOne Anakin or his descendants]], and the Skywalker bloodline dies out.[[/labelnote]]
29	* Evil C-3PO [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the [=D23=] trailer, a shot of C-3PO with red eyes is followed by a red WaveMotionGun firing into a planet. Cue jokes that C-3PO had turned to the dark side, or was the true Sith Lord behind everything like the Jar Jar/Darth Darth Binks meme.[[/labelnote]]
30	* "The Saga Ends" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Marketing for the film consistently played up the fact that this is the end of the Skywalker Saga, while 3 more Star Wars movies were already confirmed to be in development at the time, leading to jokes about the next movies and their hypothetical titles.[[/labelnote]]
31	* Due to the sheer amount of leaks about this film months in advance, an entire fandom subculture rose around them on r/[=StarWarsLeaks=] and several other web forums, leading to many memes and in-jokes.
32	** "General Hux gets eaten by a giant space turtle in the third act." [[labelnote:Explanation]] One [[RefugeInAudacity particularly absurd]] leak claimed that a [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext giant space turtle]] would appear and eat the star destroyer that General Hux is on. This became a stock fake spoiler, spawned image edits such as the Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles getting ready to eat a pizza labelled "General Hux in the third act," and drew comparisons to Stephen King's ''Literature/{{It}}'', the climax of which also features a giant turtle from space.[[/labelnote]]
33	** Creator/MattSmith. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Pre-release leaks and retracted Disney promotions that Matt Smith was cast led to rumors about what role he'd play. Seemingly-plausible ones alleged he'd play a young Palpatine or a Sith acolyte who would be possessed by Palpatine's wraith to battle Rey and Ben. As more characters were revealed in promotions, the community joked that Matt Smith was playing them.[[/labelnote]]
34	** "Never to be seen again / [=N2BSA=] / The Yeetening." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A mostly-accurate plot leak included a claim that Palpatine would shoot (or "yeet") Ben into a pit to an UncertainDoom, "Never to be seen again." The leaker insisted it was true in the face of mixed reactions, and the phrase became an ironic meme. The meme has outlasted the confirmation of Ben's actual fate.[[/labelnote]]
35	** "No, I do." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A supposed leak about the final scene included dialogue after Rey's "Rey Skywalker" line where the questioner reveals themselves as a living Ben Solo. He wishes her luck, she thanks him and wishes he'll find what he seeks, and Ben responds with the nonsensical line, "No, I do." This became a popular random reply.[[/labelnote]]
36	** Burger King. [[labelnote:Explanation]]About a week prior to the theatrical release, German Burger Kings had a marketing campaign referred to as the "Spoiler Whopper". Customers could tell a spoiler to the "Spoiler Whopper" app to get free food. The app directly sourced the spoilers from r/[=StarWarsLeaks=]. The community proclaimed this campaign could only happen with Disney's approval, therefore the leaks were false and a trap laid directly by Disney. The Spoiler Whopper spoilers all [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil turned out to be true]]. This bizarre incident spawned Burger King-related memes.[[/labelnote]]
37	** "Then our worst fears have been realized" [[labelnote: Explanation]]A line by Mace Windu from ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', which some people began using as a response when trailers began confirming some of the plot leaks they weren't keen on.[[/labelnote]]
38	* Evil Rey [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXT38i7-RN0 "Swiss Army" Lightsaber]] [[labelnote:Explanation]][[HistoryRepeats Similar to jokes made about Kylo Ren's crossguard lightsaber after the reveal trailer]] for Film/TheForceAwakens, fans went wild with editing Evil Rey's folded-out saber to contain red glowing versions of various tools that are often on a Swiss Army knife. Incidentally, [[OlderThanTheyThink a similar joke was previously made]] regarding Darth Maul's lightsaber in ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbStarWars''.[[/labelnote]]
39	** 6 blades for better comfort [[labelnote:Explanation]]Just have 6 copies of the saber next to each other and you have a good razor from Gillette.[[/labelnote]]
40	* "Poe stole my parents" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a Twitter feud between Reylo shippers and Poe fans, one of the former tweeted: "he is not a abuser stop crying bc Ben is hot and strong but Poe is just a parent stealer for political reasons" [sic], [[https://twitter.com/search?q=%23poestolemyparents which quickly went viral]] and mutated into this phrase.[[/labelnote]]
41	* Buried on Tatooine? In ''sand''?! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Joking that Anakin is horrified that Rey buried his lightsaber on a planet he hated, on the Lars Homestead where he buried his mother, and in ''[[Memes/AttackOfTheClones sand]]''. Formats include comics, image edits, and dialogues such as Anakin's Force ghost scolding Rey or complaining to Obi-Wan.[[/labelnote]]
42	** Adding Leia, Luke, and/or Shmi Skywalker Lars to this. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Leia's only experience on Tatooine was GoGoEnslavement when rescuing Han from Jabba the Hutt, Luke and Shmi both made Lars homestead their home but Luke's adoptive parents were murdered there and Shmi is buried there, so other memes feature them responding poorly to Rey burying Luke and Leia's lightsabers there.[[/labelnote]]
43	* Wet Kylo Ren [[labelnote:Explanation]]Twitter fans went viral with reactions to Kylo Ren walking out of a wave during his final duel with Rey[[/labelnote]]
44	* "Rey who?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An old woman asks who Rey is, leading to Rey taking the Skywalker name. People are swapping "Rey Skywalker" for all kinds of humorous variations, usually just puns.[[/labelnote]]
45	** "I'm [Name]." "[Name] who?" "[Name] Skywalker." [[labelnote: Explanation]]Other characters take Rey's place, usually in a 4-panel sequence where they're asked who they are, look the side at Luke and Leia's Force ghosts, and answer with "[Name] Skywalker".[[/labelnote]]
46	** Rey Dooku [[labelnote:Explanation]] A popular answer in France, since "Rey Dooku" sounds similar to "Raie du Cul" (Ass crack). [[/labelnote]]
47	* Force healing [[labelnote:Explanation]]People joke that this technique would have been useful in prior movies like when Qui-Gon was impaled by Darth Maul, when Shmi was dying in Anakin's arms, or when Darth Vader choked Padmé.[[/labelnote]]
48	* Apolitical Chewbacca [[labelnote:Explanation]]The visual dictionary describes Chewbacca as staunchly apolitical. Since this conflicts with Chewbacca fighting in all three major wars of the saga, it’s led to jokes that he doesn't actually care what's going on and just wants an excuse to kill people.[[/labelnote]]
49	* Grievous would've been unstoppable! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Rey defeats Darth Sidious by calling on the strength of all the Jedi and reflecting his Force Lightning back at him with two lightsabers. People joke that [[Characters/StarWarsGeneralGrievous General Grievous]] would easily defeat Sidious since he wields ''four'' lightsabers.[[/labelnote]]
50	** If Mace Windu had a second lightsaber... [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joking that [[Characters/StarWarsJediCouncil Mace Windu]] could have defeated Sidious in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' if he had a second lightsaber when he was deflecting Sidious' force lightning. [[/labelnote]]
51	** Why Dooku had to betray Ventress. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joking that the real reason Sidious ordered [[Characters/StarWarsSeparatistAlliance Dooku]] to [[ShootTheDangerousMinion kill his apprentice]] [[Characters/StarWarsAsajjVentress Asajj Ventress]] was that she dual-wielded.[[/labelnote]]
52	* "No homo!" [[labelnote: Explanation]]Poe and Finn are [[ShipTease ostensibly]] paired with Zorii Bliss and Jannah, leading to joke that these characters exist as a "[[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday no homo]]" to the HoYay between [[FanPreferredCouple Poe and Finn]]. The words or their sentiment are added to images of the characters or part of parody dialogues.[[/labelnote]]
53	* John Boyega and Oscar Isaac's lack of fucks. [[labelnote:Explanation]]During film promotions and when asked about it after release, Oscar Isaac and John Boyega seem [[CreatorBacklash dissatisfied]] with the film and ready to move on in their careers. Isaac called Disney "cowards" for not allowing Poe and Finn to become an OfficialCouple and said he has no interest in reprising the role of Poe, while Boyega took the piss out of Reylo fans and admitted that he didn't like Finn's character arc over the trilogy.[[/labelnote]]
54	** "Disney overlords." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Referring to Disney using Oscar Isaac's specific phrasing in answer about Poe and Finn during [[https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/12/23/star-wars-finn-poe-romance-star-wars-gay-rise-of-skywalker-oscar-isaac-disney an interview]]: "I would try to push it a bit in that direction, but the Disney overlords were not ready to do that."[[/labelnote]]
55	* Force-pushed into the friendzone. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joking about using the Force to "friendzone" people and saying that when Rey Force-pushed Finn away from her fight with Kylo Ren on Kef Bir, she was physically putting him in the "friendzone."[[/labelnote]]
56	* Rey really is a Franchise/DisneyPrincess. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The movie reveals that Rey is Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter and the Sith throne is her birthright, thus she has RoyalBlood.[[/labelnote]]
57	* sigh Somehow, Palpatine returned. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Poe's line when he tells his fellow Resistance members that Palpatine has come BackFromTheDead via unknown means; he seems exasperated or tired. People reuse this in the context of other unexplained things.[[/labelnote]]
58	** Somehow, [X] returned. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Further applying this phrase to other franchises with villains inexplicably coming BackFromTheDead in hypothetical sequels, such as [[Franchise/HarryPotter Voldemort]], [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]], and [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Thanos]].[[/labelnote]]
59	** "Dark science. Cloning. Secrets only the Sith knew." [[labelnote: Explanation]]Beaumont Kin's line [[AWizardDidIt theorizing how Palpatine returned]], taken out of context to answer other questions about how something happened.[[/labelnote]]
60	** The Dead Speak! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Related to the above, and in a similar reaction to [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith "War!"]] The very first words of the OpeningScroll became notorious for [[UnexplainedRecovery failing to properly explain Palpatine's return]] and feeling out of place. [[/labelnote]]
61	** {{VideoGame/Fortnite}} [[labelnote:Explanation]]The '''Mysterious Broadcast''' established in the OpeningScroll premiered in a [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Palpatine%27s_broadcast Fortnite crossover event of all things]], much to the confusion and disbelief of many fans. [[/labelnote]]
62	* "Ow." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ben Solo's only line of dialogue after he sheds his Kylo Ren persona and then throws his lightsaber into Kef Bir's ocean, used in contexts where it's clear it's quoting Ben.[[/labelnote]]
63	%% * Where's Rose?/[=#WheresRose=] [[labelnote: Explanation]] People began tweeting this question or asking it elsewhere on social media due to Rose's conspicious absence in merchandising. This intensified after the film was released and Rose ended up with [[DemotedToExtra less than two minutes of screentime]] [[/labelnote]]
64	%% * Ben Solo deserved better [[labelnote: Explanation]] A lot of fans decried that Ben ends up dying in the end, especially as he'd finally turned back to the Light, helped stop Palpatine (who had been manipulating and tormenting him and his family for decades) and found love with Rey (he dies literally ''moments'' after kissing her for the first time). Doesn't help that this means his story arc is essentially identical to Anakin's and also means that Han, Luke and Leia all ultimately failed in their efforts to save him. [[/labelnote]]
65	* Good Boy Sweater™ [[labelnote:Explanation]]As part of his GoodCostumeSwitch, Ben Solo wears a black crew neck sweater with a hole where Rey impaled him. Participants in the Ben Solo Challenge often wear a similar sweater while imitating his Han Solo-esque shrug.[[/labelnote]]
66	** Ben Solo Challenge [[labelnote: Explanation]]People recreate the scene where Ben is surrounded by the Knights of Ren, slowly and unexpectedly draws the Skywalker lightsaber from behind his back, shrugs like Han Solo, then launches into battle. People use lightsabers or other objects, and sometimes wear a Good Boy Sweater™.[[/labelnote]]
67	* "If this mission fails, it was all for nothing." [[labelnote: Explanation]] C-3PO says this line in a few trailers, which some viewers applied in a meta-sense to ''The Rise of Skywalker'' and Sequel trilogy as a whole following the BrokenBase reaction to ''The Last Jedi'', with ''Rise'' having to WinBackTheCrowd. [[/labelnote]]
68	* ''The Fall of Skywalker'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Renaming the film to say "Skywalker" cannot "rise" with all the biological Skywalkers dead and Rey's adoption of the name "does not count."[[/labelnote]]
69	** "Did you ever hear the tragedy of the Skywalkers?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Referencing Palpatine's [[Memes/RevengeOfTheSith memeworthy]] line from ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith,'' "Did you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"[[/labelnote]]
70	* "Let me guess, Death Star?" "It was, and [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi it was beautiful]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Reacting to the first shot of the Death Star II's ruined superlaser dish by repurposing an exchange between Doctor Strange and Thanos in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.[[/labelnote]]
71	* Rendemption / Bendemption [[labelnote:Explanation]] FanNickname for Ben Solo's HeelFaceTurn, which people had been predicting and/or hoping for since ''The Force Awakens'' [[/labelnote]]
72	* "He may have been your grandfather, but he wasn't your granddaddy." [[labelnote:Explanation]]An adapted quote from Yondu in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' saying he was Peter Quill's real daddy unlike Peter's biological father; it's applied to Rey's biological-only relationship with her grandfather, Sheev Palpatine.[[/labelnote]]
73	%%* "Everything."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Palpatine's answer to Kylo asking him what he could give if the latter killed Rey.[[/labelnote]]
74	%%* "I'm the spy!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]TheReveal that Hux is TheMole in the First Order is so sudden and completely out of left field, complete with the aforementioned line to hammer it down. Fans have taken a liking for this line if only for the RefugeInAudacity of Hux, a First Order fanatic responsible for wiping out millions of innocent people, willingly helping the Resistance because he doesn't like Kylo Ren.[[/labelnote]]
75	* Ben getting thrown off a cliff to music. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Videos with music added to the scene where Palpatine uses the Force to throw Ben out of sight and into a pit, often reacting to complaints that it's "too graphic."[[/labelnote]]
76	* "Holding Out For a Hero" / "I Need a Hero" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Videos with the song "[[Music/HoldingOutForAHero Holding Out for a Hero]]" and footage of Ben running and fighting the Knights of Ren to help Rey on Exegol.[[/labelnote]]
77	* "Forced too hard." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joking about how the otherwise-healthy Luke, Leia, and Rey all died from overexerting themselves using the Force.[[/labelnote]]
78	* An imagined exchange:
79	--> '''Marketing department:''' How many TV spots do you want?\
80	'''Disney/Lucasfilm:''' Yes. [[labelnote:Explanation]]New TV spots and mini trailers were released almost every other week before the theatrical release.[[/labelnote]]
81	* Palpatine's [[https://youtu.be/R_sr_fY8VpU Bass]] [[https://youtu.be/viUdBbB2ztU Boosted]] [[https://youtu.be/1VGKKSHA5e4 Lightning]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palpatine raises his arms and shoots his Force lightning at the Resistance ships, accompanied by [[Narm/StarWars what sounds like a bass drop]] at a huge rave. People have added electronic/dance music samples to make Palpatine drop the bass.[[/labelnote]]
82	* This exchange:
83	--> '''Palpatine:''' [[IAmTheNoun I am all the Sith!]]\
84	'''Rey:''' And I... am all the Jedi. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Image edits to change the characters saying this and/or the dialogue; they're the final words they exchange before Rey reflects Palpatine's Force lightning with Luke and Leia's lightsabers, killing him.[[/labelnote]]
85	** [[Memes/RevengeOfTheSith "(And) I am all the Senate!"]] [[labelnote: Explanation]]Blending this meme and the "I am the Senate" meme from ''Revenge of the Sith''. Some have made jokes about him being able to beat Rey if he said this instead of the actual line.[[/labelnote]]
86	* "Taking one last look, sir... at my friends." [[labelnote:Explanation]] C-3PO speaking to Rey, Finn, and Poe before his temporary memory wipe, edited to show him looking at or holding a photo of the Original Trilogy cast.[[/labelnote]]
87	** He'd better be saying this to Chewie and R2! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Joking that C-3PO is actually addressing Chewbacca and R2-D2, and sometimes Lando, who aren't in the scene but have been his friends for decades.[[/labelnote]]
88	* "There's no source material." [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a pre-release ''Rolling Stone'' interview, Kathleen Kennedy mentioned the challenges of writing original material as ''Star Wars'' isn't based on books or comics. People pair quotes from this interview with pictures of ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' works.[[/labelnote]]
89	* Kylo reacts to Evil Rey. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Edits of Kylo looking DistractedByTheSexy of Rey's Dark Side self and wanting an UnholyMatrimony.[[/labelnote]]
90	* "He lost the [[TitleDrop star wars]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]]An alleged draft of ''Episode IX: Duel of the Fates'' by Connolly and Trevorrow has this quote: "Hux realizes the tragic truth. ''He lost the star wars.''" Memes use it with or without the original lowercase for characters, Disney, George Lucas, and more.[[/labelnote]]
91	* The shot of Kylo and the Knights of Ren walking down the hall, accompanied by epic music. [[labelnote:Explanation]] It become the Star Wars equivalent of the "Me and the Boys" meme. (i.e.) "Me and the boys coming back from recess". [[/labelnote]]
92	* "Still a better love story than Reylo." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Detractors of the Reylo ship rephrase the old Twilight meme in response to the pairing in this movie. [[/labelnote]]
93	* "Your Snoke Theory Sucks" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Originally a ''The Last Jedi'' meme popularized by the Steele Wars podcast and embraced by Rian Johnson, now used to mock this film's reveal that Snoke was just a clone puppeteered by Palpatine all along. [[/labelnote]]
94	* "Come on, that move's one-in-a-million." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Poe uses this line to explain they don't pull off [[RammingAlwaysWorks Holdo Maneuvers]] to destroy the Final Order's Star Destroyer fleet, which became a meme since in attempting to address the FridgeLogic as to why ramming ships at light-speed hadn't been used before ''The Last Jedi'', [[VoodooShark it opens the awkward]] ''new'' FridgeLogic that not only was Holdo betting her own "bad odds" in a desperate attempt to save the Resistance (which she admonished Poe for), it leads to the awkward image that her HeroicSacrifice had ''incredible'' odds of her just failing and shooting off to safety like a DirtyCoward. More jokingly, it can also be used to refer to Luke's "one in a million" shot blowing up the Death Star in ''A New Hope'', as stated by Han Solo.[[/labelnote]]
95	* "I don't care if X win(s). I just want Y to lose!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] General Hux's justification of pulling an EnemyMine with the Resistance. He doesn't actually care about them or their goals, he just wants to get back at Kylo Ren for treating him badly. This becomes a popular template for EnemyMine situations where both sides hate each other's guts but are willing to have a TeethClenchedTeamwork against a mutual foe.[[/labelnote]]
96	* Live Slug Reaction[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://64.media.tumblr.com/e2ab7d55d0c7083a8fedb58e974e7e33/22e43320dd051b16-e1/s1280x1920/9baa957fd5426fa5f8543058c9739f1c3e4cb094.jpg A person on Twitter]] falsely claimed that after the shot where two female Resistance soldiers kiss, marking the first gay kiss in a ''Star Wars'' movie (that was noted to be shown so briefly as to be easily cut for foreign markets), the camera then lingers on a frowning slug-like alien named Klaud for twice as long. It soon became popular to take implicitly or explicitly queer scenes from other media and photoshop in a "Live Slug Reaction" depicting said frowning slug.[[/labelnote]]
97	** Homophobic Slug[[labelnote:Explanation]]People critical of Disney's limited queer representation and amused by the suspicious timing of the slug shot started calling Klaud homophobic in memes.[[/labelnote]]
98	** Homosexual Slug[[labelnote:Explanation]]A [[https://bionic-jedi.tumblr.com/post/677759034080755712/im-pleased-to-inform-everyone-that-the-slug-is correction]] to the above Tweet revealed that the whole clip ends with Klaud receiving a hug from a human male, whom [[HoYayShipping fans proceeded to ship with him]].[[/labelnote]]
