The Irregulars don’t usually take the piss out of the movie so directly like this. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

"R2 was there, but he didn't start it." I love that Luke has to clarify. (Sadly, I have forgotten who's playing him - Corey, right?)

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Yes, Luke is Corey. And both Rey and R2 are Pete, so it's a pretty targeted jab.
Which is why it's funny!

I looked it up and these are in fact the canonical names of the street urchins in Episode VIII. In hindsight I don't know why I questioned it: every background character in Star Wars has a ridiculous name.
I don't quite get what the joke is about noncommutativity of cockney rhyming slang. I mean, I also just don't know what Jim/Temiri is trying to say, and maybe if I did it would be obvious how he's getting it wrong.

I had to look it up - "trouble and strife" is Cockney rhyming slang for "wife", so he's asking if there's any trouble while also deliberately mangling the slang.
Ah, okay, thanks. So it's "trouble and strife is cockney rhyming slang for wife but wife is not cockney rhyming slang for trouble and strife", that makes sense. It might be more accurate to say that cockney rhyming slang is not involutory, but I get what they meant calling it not commutative.

This feels very similar to the podracing arc from The Force Awakens. Did we get that feel from the film? I've honestly shut out the Canto Bight subplot from my memory.

Lucas' fascination with droids as deus ex machinas transferred perfectly to Disney.
