1	'''Release:''' December 27, 2017
2
3	'''Film:''' ''Film/TheLastJedi''
4
5	'''Tagline:''' Audiences seem split on the sci-fi epic, can WebVideo/ChrisStuckmann and [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Cinema Snob]] determine if this is good or bad?
6
7	!!We remembered these tropes so you don't have to:
8	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: The Critic takes issue with Leia's inexplicable ability to survive being sucked out into space.
9	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The trio's opinion on Finn and Rose's trip to Canto Bight.
10	* CallBack: The Snob is still [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS8E27 dressed up as Han Solo]].
11	* ClipShow: {{Inverted\|Trope}}. Following a tradition of recreating movies still in theaters with Channel Awesome's own props and cast, the pastiche of the film stars Doug as Luke Skywalker and Poe Dameron, Malcolm as Finn, Tamara as Rey and Leia Organa, Jim as Kylo Ren, Brad as Snoke, Chris as General Hux, Aiyanna Wade as Amilyn Holdo, Heather Reusz as Rose Tico, and Walter Banasiak as Chewbacca and DJ.
12	* ContinuityNod: The Snob and Chris are confused that the Critic apparently co-reviewed ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' and ''Film/RogueOne'' with them, respectively, almost at the same time.
13	* CreditsGag: The ''Star Wars'' crawl is interrupted by Chris accidentally walking on top of it. When they allow it to run, however, it openly admits it's got nothing, since the movie takes place immediately after ''The Force Awakens''.
14	* {{Crossover}}: With WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob and WebVideo/ChrisStuckmann, with whom the Critic previously reviewed, respectively, ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS8E27 in 2015]] and ''Film/RogueOne'' [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS9E25 last year]].
15	* FlippingTheBird: Tamara as Leia flips at Chris!Hux as she makes her escape.
16	* FreezeFrameBonus: Dino Rob is among the guests at Canto Bight.
17	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Jar Jar Binks is among the people walking around as Doug/Poe stages a mutiny.
18	* GilliganCut: At the end of the review, after the Snob shoots down the Porg operating their spaceship, the trio wonder what to do next. Cue an abrupt cut to the trio outside their crashed spaceship, agreeing to skedaddle their way to Mexico.
19	* HarsherInHindsight: [[invoked]] Chris feels uncomfortable about the scene where Leia gets sucked into space after one of Kylo's underlings fired at her ship, considering this film was her actress Creator/CarrieFisher's very last before her untimely death in late 2016. The Critic sarcastically allays his concern when she inexplicably survives in space and makes her way back to her ship.
20	* MediumAwareness: When Chris tries to discuss the spelling of the AT-AT as in "at", the Snob warns him that the discussion is best left on the comments section of their video.
21	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: How the Critic reacts to the Snob's skepticism over Tamara!Leia inexplicably surviving being sucked into space and returning to her ship.
22	* PlotHole: The Snob wonders if the keepsake Luke gives Leia is also an AstralProjection like him or a real object.
23	* OhCrapSmile: Doug!Luke does this when Jim!Kylo wakes up and sees him with an ignited lightsaber.
24	* RunningGag: The trio's viewing of Rey and Luke's training being interrupted by Malcolm as Finn and Heather as Rose forcing back the Canto Bight subplot, much to their annoyance.
25	* ShoutOut:
26	** When Chris as Hux asks why he can't go faster to chase after Tamara/Leia, an officer (Malcolm) shows him they may run out of fuel, while showing the three speed settings from ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}''.
27	** Seeing Yoda's Force Ghost sending a thunderbolt to incinerate a tree, the Critic notes that apparently Force Ghosts are powerful enough to win the war for the Resistance like in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''.
28	** A shocked Chris describes Brad!Snoke as wearing a Magazine/{{Playboy}} Mansion robe.
29	* SkewedPriorities: Far more than the Force, the Critic and the Snob credit the Porgs with massive leaps in the ''Star Wars''' technology.
30	* SoOkayItsAverage: [[invoked]] The trio's verdict on the film was "Amazing, except when it's kinda dumb", with its awesome visuals and world-building hampered by inconsistencies.
31	* TakeThat: During the scene where Yoda tells Luke to let go of the past, Doug as Luke replies saying that they are saying this to Star Wars fans. A not so subtle jab the sequel's detractors.
