hey there i'm full of molina and on thischannel we analyze and dissect and have a lot of fun sharing as many littlemiserable moment as we can in our favorite nerd properties like get readybecause just like the trailer before it start wars the force awakens the movie.!is insanely packed with references and easter eggs and cameos and interestingimagery a whole sort of trivia and i'm just preparing you because this is going..to be a huge video but totally worth it because there's so much cool stuff and idefinitely think we actually spotted a few things that i haven't seen anywhereelse oh and obviously with the movie being sojam-packed the attic cut a finger to the
lucky for you i've got a good idea onwhat those deleted scenes were and i'll go over those to know if you think imiss anything feel free to let me know in the comments but there's a goodchance we already covered it in one of our other star wars references anystrike videos for the trailer breakdown so check those out after this if youwant to see even more all right going in order as it played out in the movielet's get to it spoilers galore starting at the beginning the opening shot of the film which is upthere as may be one of the coolest looking ones they've ever done shows usa new level of star destroyer eclipsing
a planet star destroyers called thefinalizer and this epic ship is twice as big as the old school star destroyersand it actually had to be built in secret because it really blatantlyviolates the treaty between the first order in the new republic but since thisepic shot is also the first thing we see you might not be surprised that there'ssome interesting imagery choice is going on here to the tip of the finalizer verymuch resembles the crossguard of kylo ren's lightsaber and this ship with thatcross guard style mass begins to block out all of the light in the shot almostcompletely bringing darkness to the planet below
but when there's just the tiniest sliverof light left a few ships shoot out of its side escaping through the light specifically including the ship thatfinish on all right jj did a lot of this kind of stuff in this movie moving on instar wars the language we hear our main characters speak sounds a lot likeenglish but they call it basic over the first non basic words the movie are someconcern beeps from bb-8 when he sees the first order approaching - cuckoo but thefirst english or basic words that are spoken are by mac spots at al's lor santekka and his line is this should begin to make things right
this that's the first line of the firststar wars movies since the not love three equals so another translation thatmight be like damn shots fired lor san tekka and jj that'san official translation moving on when the troop transporterscarrying finlande on the stands of jakku their design and the choreography andthe cinematography they're all nods to the landing crafttouching down on the sands of omaha beach specifically the way was depictedin one of jj's mentors movies saving private ryan directed by stevenspielberg in both movies we get shots of the concerns soldiers packed into thevessels and they can't see whether about
to land but the moment the vessel doors loweredthe soldiers up front are immediately killed chaos ensues and when finn spaces outdue to all the violence it's almost identical to the way tomhanks spaces out also not being able to comprehend it all jj is borrowing that movie is realisticdepiction of invasion and the surrounding tragedy to make us right outof the gate realized these stormtroopers are actual people who are actually dyingand that's all before we've even seen
one of them take their helmets off alsothis isn't the only world war two reference in the movie but that's laterlet's keep going the x-wing that po jumps into but isquickly disabled is actually not fancy new technology it's more of a modifiedversion of what the rebels already had back in the original trilogy and thepoint of this reference is to show us that the resistance isn't hotwell-funded they are working off what is now very old technology meanwhile the first order moments latershows off their fancy brand new ships when kylo ren arrives and his personal
luke salon class shuttle and it's twiceas big and way newer than vader's old lambda-class shuttle and it's obviouslylike nine greek letters better a few moments later we see one of the mostmemorable amazing moments in the movie when kylo ren uses his force abilitiesto freeze a freaking blaster bolt midair considering blaster bolts are kind oflike shooting lasers that's something we've never seen the force duemanipulate light energy the way that being freezes in the way it looks i meanit's weird to say this but it's actually scientifically accurate and that'sbecause i'm pretty sure the filmmakers studied this actual experiment in reallife where star wars obsessed scientists
wanted to see what it would look like tofreeze a blaster bolt midair also this new manipulating of light thatthe force can do it's not our only knew for stability but let's keep goingthat's one known that the legendary john williams came back to compose the musicfor the force awakens but that means that jj wasn't able to go to his go-tocomposer for everything from alias two star trek michael chiquinho that guy istotally great - he won the oscar for his score for up i can still home like everyscore from los but aquino actually considers john williams to be his hero he even said he'd rather hear new starwars music from john williams then from
himself he got rewarded because he's thestormtrooper that pushes poe dameron down in front of kyle that's a pretty good trade a few momentslater when bb-8 sees the explosion and me things oh might be dead his sounds areincredibly emotional and sad and that makes sense considering actual humansperform bb-8 voice you might already know that was actually bill hader andjohn ralphio himself ben schwartz and it really is their performance because whatthey did is they spoke words and made sounds into an ipad app that digitizetheir voices into robotic sounds fun
bill hader fact he's actually a hugestar wars nerd and like 10 years ago he was begging to be a lowly productionassistant on this star wars documentary just because he loved it so much and i'malso not surprised that he got the job as bb-8 voice because a lot of peopledon't remember years ago he is to go around doing these amazing impression ofnon-human star wars characters they're just so good watch your job without dying when you're dying on you amazing
and for ben schwartz i here's a video ofanother time that he added his voice to a part of star wars that doesn't reallyuse words yeah ok then we meet captain phasma who's ourfirst game is around cameo gwendoline christie and while you probably didn'tknow that a lot of people don't know that her shiny armor it's purposely made to stand out withinthe star wars universe because she wanted to be a symbol in star warshistory it turns out it actually melted down from one of those rome ships thatthey use on the emperor and padme his
homeworld naboo and her armorspecifically came from one of the emperor ship so fast my uses it as asymbol of his power then race cabbages and there's a specific moment where shepulls out a salvaged old star destroyer part it's a capacitor bearing but theframing of this shot is very purposely mirrored almost exactly in a much moretime active moment later in the movie when ray's pulling out parts of thefancy new circular base and the way she repels around these old destroy wallsit's also mimicked in her escape from the new vessels interrogation area it'sjust a bunch of setups and pay off ready then takes her findings back onher speeder and sure it has some
similarities to luke's speeder but it'sactually hard to place what kind of speed it is and that's because as itturns out rebuilt it herself from other party scavenge fact you might not havenoticed there's no seat she's sitting on the engine and the engine is a recycledhot racer engine there's also other podracer parts floating around on jakkuand the tattered podracer flags at moms clouds castle they all give us thedetail that's pretty easy to miss in this time of the star wars universe knowhun podraces anymore actually get that because a silly spectator sport doesn'tmake as much sense once the emperor takes over and everything is terrible
can't say i miss it either molecule andthe movie doesn't have a ton of nod to the prequels but there are some then weget another epically beautiful shot where ray cruises past the outside ofthe down star destroyer and it's actually known to be the inflict er itwas a story that went down back in the battle of jakku had a whole story aboutwhy it's crashed into that very spot in the sand if you want to know that storyit's in the new star wars book lost stars i'll put a link to the descriptionto it but when i think it's cool about this shot and shot we get a little laterwhere she's standing behind a super star destroyer
it is the first time we've actually beenable to grasp the scale of these huge ships next to a human being it finallygives us a relative size for all those shots that are in space and hold the crap that means all those battlesare so massive raven drags his cabin genes to unkarplutt who seems to run things here on email post and the actor underneath thatblob enos happens to be simon pegg his voice was heavily altered but he'sactually really in there wearing all that stuff star wars i've burned tower only hisfacial expressions were enhanced with
cgi is also fun to note that simonpegg's one of the stars of the new star trek movies and he's writing the newones i guess you can join finn in the list of really likable traders when raygoes home and get a really good look at her belongings including this littlerebel pilot doll that she clearly made herself and would probably do reallywell if she sold it on etsy particularly has a thing about rebel pilots latershe's outside of her home which is a down to 84 @ @ if you say it that wayi'll let you guys debate that in the comments in any way when she goes outthere she puts on an old rebel flight helmet and as she imagined what it wouldbe like to be a rebel pilot you can see
on the side the star wars are best letters fresh andand her which in english spell r ke h as in ray not just some cuteproduction designer joke though the helmets markings actually mean itbelongs to the turf in yellow aces specifically captained ozma tray offemale x-wing pilot so here's my theory considering how obsessed ray is withthis pilot and her adventures and how little she seems to know about her ownpath couldn't it be the case that ray actually named herself after captain raylike having forgotten her own original name it would mirror how kylo ren choseto go buy a new name when he changes
identities how r n is actually been and then ray could be bay bay skywalkerher for bacon lb that's terrible note forget the bay part the theory kind ofhold up no bae moving on right rescues bb-8 from titos net and i'm pretty surethat's the moment where star wars character says job i think tito mutters it right there ifyou don't know by the way job is this trademark phrase of conor o'brian itmeans nothing he just loves it he put it in the simpsons of the iguana jeb is fantastic bag jj to put in starwars and you got jumped up in i did this
is fantastic pretty sure that's where it is andspeaking of trademark phrases when ray tells bba to stay off kelvin ridge it'sa reference to jj abrams is grandfather henry kelvin he actually puts that inall of his projects it was big and lost that's a major ship and star trek so nowyou can add kelvin ridge to that list that's going to finalize our po playedby oscar isaac being enforced tortured and interrogated by kylo ren and justoutside the room is general hawkes played by donald gleason a lot of peoplelike to point out that isaac's and glisan were in a movie together about avery advanced roid called it's mocking
up the movies great actually i don't think it's nearly as fun asreminding people that kylo & powered a movie together to the movies you pick a child about the key thatscene is equally intense back on jakku the only quick thing worth pointing outis that unkar plutt refers to be ba as at him and then throughout the entirerest of the movie people call me baji him and they might not seem unusualexcept almost all the way up until the film's release va was confirmed to be agirl that's because lucas films president kathleen kennedy referred toher as a girl and so did the designers
of bba so why do people keep calling tohim they don't give us much of an answeractually they just say that somewhere in the design changes they change somethingabout bb-8 that made him definitively a boy and like the only thing i can thinkis that somewhere online they added a wiener like i don't know haha else they wouldbe able to just suddenly shift genders thinking about it i guess they wouldn'treally want to have to explain why two dudes were hired to do the voice offemale droid that sounds way more possible actually then then adding awiener
it just it just wouldn't be practicalyou can't you wouldn't be able to roll with it was more on the finalizer we seefinn take off his stormtrooper helmet and revealed to po that he's rescuinghim and it's a direct reference to loose revealing to lay in a new hope i'm skywalker here to rescue you thenit's been in po try and make their escape we get our best look at pettyofficers annison he's actually game with their own champion number two thomas brodie-sangster you might betterremember him as the adorably horny little kid from love actually
unfortunately if you're a big fan of histhat's all you get because he died by 10 seconds later in that same escape seenyou actually also hear the infamous wilhelm scream that's in every star wars movie i doanfence cape on the tie fighters and the finalizer fires the ventral cannons wesee some really unusual blast rather than the lasers were used to i mean one of those things takes up thewhole side of the tie fighter and the thing is that this could be part of thishuge reveal in the way the first order works now
apparently the new star destroyer thefinalizer it has a brand new weapon that is very expensive and very specialbecause it's powered by kyber crystals and why that matter kyber crystals are what jedi's used tomake light sabers the bad guys sit sabers are usually made using theseknockoff synthetic crystals but not the jedis and actually not pile of red sabreeither but the fact that the first order is now using weapons powered by kybercrystals tells us that the first order is actually using technology powered by the force so that means snowkit intermingling the first order and
the dark side way more than the original empire everdid which is gonna make a huge difference when the first order istrying to take on jedi also while finn and power escaping weget the reveal that finn doesn't actually have a name but rather he isreferred to by his number fn-2187 now there's one kind of obviousreference there because cell 2 187 is where they found princess leia way backon the death star curtis 127 you go again but the number 2187 is itself a bigger reference to the nineteen sixty three short film 2187directed by arthur lipsett it's one of
those super artsy short films it's ahell in black and white but it completely inspired george lucas and ismaking a star wars like i'm talking droids and the force and it's just somuch stuff i would have to save it for another video but i will point out theway that they use the numbers in 2187 that these are some of the last words inthe short film somebody walks up and you say yournumbers 2187 isn't it so not that references would ever be incompetition with each other but isn't it cool that sure in the original it wasleila's cell on the death star but here in this 2187 is exactly how people referto finn and that's also the way they use
it in the short film they walk up to himand call him number 2187 very cool reference moving on when phasma reports back aboutfn-2187 going rogue you can seed young fan maybe around eight or nine years oldand probably the ag was when he was taken by the first order then as generalhux and kylo ren bicker like siblings ren says that perhaps nope should haveused a clone army it's obviously a reference to the pastdays of the clone troopers based on jango fett but it's also reallyinteresting because it's reinforcing stormtroopers are real people but itactually is opening up another really
interesting possibility they might notall be human if it is the only one we've seen take his helmet off speaking up inhe and ray finally meet and it's very fun and she doesn't need hand-holdingyou okay for me and the two of them and bb-8 run through this archway that marksthe entrance to the name outpost and is actually a design that we never got tosee but was supposed to mark the entrance to jabba the hutt's palace wayback in return of the jedi i'm it actually makes a lot of sense herethough since nema i'll post was named for nema the hut on lady hunt and thankgod we didn't have to see her also this exact same part the cameraactually pans right past the millennium
falcon most people just didn't notice it oh and of course ray calling it garbageis i call back to luke calling it a piece of chunks which might seem harshsince ray collect junk for a living but the falcon actually is a really oldfreighter ship now you can actually see it at one point flying around in theprequels and that's more than 50 years before the events of this movie but atleast she's got it where it counts its latest owner is revealed to be on guardplot you hear him yell that's mine a hawaiian ray grand theft auto is itand this is a really good moment to reveal another scene that was deletedapparently on car actually tracks the
falcon to tackle dan i and maz kanata castle he then get in afight with our heroes and finally something that's been teased that beforebut we've never seen chewy tears is freaking arm off it's not wise for sort of work that'samazing i totally hope they shot it and it makes its way onto a blu-ray orsomething because i got to see that wookiee yank that's not what i mean come back to theac now we can see how the falcon has held up and it's not well at allactually you can see the gunners seat
that finn's operating is really roughand clunky and in another parallel to new hope's actually shot very similarlyto han and luke escape light on the balcony they even celebrate the same way the targeting computer is still theexact same nintendo virtual board game but we do see one clear upgrade thatsomebody made there's a new antenna on top of it because if you remember whenlando tohon that he's gonna return to falcon without a scratch you almostimmediately get the antenna smashed off the top this new little antennasrectangular instead of round i guess the advantage there is that parents can justrecycle the old toy they have to get the
new one with the rectangle with the badparents as a ray highlights the falcons she flies through the whole of one ofthe old craft starships which is even bigger than the massive flickr we sawearlier and this is a super star it's actually what's left of the ravagerthat also went down in the battle of jakku it was actually the last super stardestroyer the original vampire hat and the admiral in charge of that ship hername was also raised a lot of raising this neighborhood the story of that shipis in the star wars book aftermath not lost ours are all links that one of thedescription to moving on after rey and
finn escape the falcon gets pulled intohan and chewie these new cargo ship the arowana and it's gonna be a really longtime before anyone can definitely see it clearly if it's there but apparentlythere's a cargo container on this ship it is numbered 990 6 75 3 that's the same number we saw on adifferent cargo crate and hangar 51 in indiana jones in there it contains theark of the covenant it's like harrison ford cannot get away from that thing when han and chewie board million falconwe get a ton of quick nods to the original trilogy
brian finn hiding out in the smugglingcompartment that luke on and obi-wan hidden before other also wearing thesame atmospheric mass that han chewie and leia where an empire strikes backand that scene back then they're out there cleaning off my notbats who have that gross sucker mouth that is on the glass of the falcon andalso the rat our mouths and tentacles on the falcons cockpit class and alsoreferences that falcon famous show off statistic about its castle run distancebut she gets wrong it says it's 14 parsecs and a million nerd shout 12 atthe same time that honda and oh my god is a lot of references
do you want more ok in that same sequence we get camerasfrom the really bad ass stars of the raid as members of candy club andseriously they're epic fighters you should watch the raid to see that wealso get hon saying i have a bad feeling about this and it's the third time hassaid that got a bad feeling about this really good feeling about this whichmeans he surpasses obi-wan to the person who said that the most though he alreadyhad that record if you count the time that indiana jones said in kingdom ofthe crystal skull and the indiana jones reference is go with the other directionwhen they're all trying to outrun the
rat stars as one of them comes rollingbehind hon it's exactly the same framing as the famous boulder that's chasing indie and raiders of thelast start and when finn is looking for god we find and tosses luke trainingremote droid thing and it's actually technically hans remote but that doesn'tmatter because the references are done and oh my god when they are on thefalcon it's like non-stop references who but luckily the movie takes us to ourkiller bass there we get our first good look at supreme leader snoke albeit he'sjust a giant hologram smoke is rumored to actually only be seven feet tall
only but here it's probably just areference to the giant hologram of the emperor's and empire strikes back butdid you see that huge crater and smokes head there's obviously a lot about hisbackstory that we don't know moving on and get back to the falconwhich means more references been accidentally activate be hollow chessgame but what's actually really cool about that moment is that it picks upright after where the game left off in a new hope the little guy that just gotbody slam he stands back up and he smacks the opponent over the head with amallet and just good for the little guy
the other really cool thing about thegame is that they actually went and shot new stop motion animation just like the way they did in theoriginal then our crew arrives to ma's pirate castle on taco donna and insidethat castle there's a ton of other references in east right in fact i bet there's gonna be so manymore revealed over time but here's what i've got so far the song you hear when you enter waswritten and performed by broadway's lin-manuel miranda and jj abrams himselfthere's also a funny little alien who's
played warwick davis warrant played wicket theewok in return of the jedi he also played two characters in phantom menaceit was a wall and weasel and get w names continue because this aliens name iswall oven a great name remember kids that there's also a coupleof droids that are among the oldest ones we've ever seen in star wars one ofwhich emmy 89 kind of looks like an ancient ancestor to c-3po it's actuallyrumored to be like thousands of years old so this might be some of the firstdroid ever but onto my favorite cameo that we see in the castle and it's rightwhen we walk in the camera purposely
stays with this little creature guy forsome extra time and he looks a lot like some sort of wolfman that's a reallyslick reference to the original new hope as in star wars as it was in 1977 onspecial edition you see back in nineteen ninety-seven there were the star warsspecial editions and they did it again in 2004 and in 2011 george lucas justkept going back to the original trilogy and updating the effects and changing abunch of scenes and adding a bunch of cgi and that's why somehow haydenchristensen is in a movie that was released in 1983 and how hon went fromshooting grito first to shooting in self-defense
so for the most part this is the momentwhen people started really hate on george lucas and his unnecessary cgiupdate one of the mascots of the anti special edition movement was theoriginal mas eisley cantina wolfman and most people watching this video rightnow and finally never even seen this guy that's because lucas films is thateverything possible i can to erase them in any reference to him from existence they replaced him with two differentaliens in the original movie but jj here is very subtly sharing how he feelsabout those special editions changes he makes it super clear he thinks thepractical wolfman belongs in a cantina
scene he reinforces that practicaleffects preference when you realize aside from moscow not herself everycharacter in this entire scene is a practical as a non cgi character and toreally point that out this scene actually opens with an almost in it long single take uncut shotshowing us all of them really cool oh and after that uncut tracking shot weget our quick judah friedlander cameo and he's alsonot cgi he just judah friedlander in space now all this stuff in math kannada isclearly obviously just packed with
references but it makes you wonder whatstuff we didn't see because as it turns out this is another sequence that had aton cut out of it one of the deleted scenes hasret gaining some extra wisdomfrom this priest like figure his name proster online but he was totally cutout of the movie but even more drastic ma's herself had this entire storylinethat was also completely cut out it's because jj realized that ultimately evenif she continued on with our heroes she didn't actually need to be there withthat so don't you cut the whole thing out and you can actually see a remnantof maza storyline in that one shop in the trailers where she's handing luke'slightsaber to leia instead of thin
oh and as for deleted leia scenes yeahthere were major deletions but we will get back to that one of the most talkedabout scenes is raised force vision and that makes total sense because there's alot going on there you can actually hear vader's breathing not just at the beginning of the visionbut there are hints of it before she's even got into that room with thelightsaber and then once the vision starts added to the breathing is lukescreaming no he finds out that matters is dad and that all goes with the location thatray is seen because that's the exact
place on cloud city where luke and vaderhad their epic fight then just before we see all the knights of ren we seekhigh-low stab someone through the chest with this saber but if you watch itclosely it almost seems like that person might have been about to attack someoneso there's a slight chance that run was actually saving someone with that attacklet me know what you think about that when you re watch that scene up next in the vision a large figurepolls young railway and that bulbous hand and that deep voice saying quietgirl it all seems to be very likely unkar plutt so that could mean that he'sactually not such a bad guy or that
whoever left her with them just didn'tknow what a jerk he be then right at the end of the vision if you keep your earsopen here both a young and old obi-wan with alec guinness is voice saying rayand you and mcgregor saying these are the first step that's so awesome theyhad you and come in and record new lines just for that but with the late alecguinness they use this moment from obi-wan saying afraid it'll be afraidand they chopped it down so that sir alec could savory very cool and one ofmy favorite things they did it was just a worth hearing his voice again now alsosomewhere else in there you're supposed to be able to hear yoda's voice sayingenergy around behind but for the life of
me i've seen the movie like four timesnow i have not been able to make it out let me know in the comments if you hearit and exactly where it is known about this whole psychic vision thing that'shappening here with ray that's all a very specific but new to the movies jedipower called psychometry we're touching an object allows a force-user to seevisions of the objects memories and also just happen to the past and future andit's a really big deal and star wars actually and that's because almost noone has ever had that power so it lends credence to ray being a very specialtype of jedi also really interesting to note is that the few jedi that have hadthat power were banned from using it
because being able to see through theeyes of others and witness extreme violence you guessed it jedi's believethat lets the dark sider so potential storyline for bray in the future maybe idon't know okay up next we have the very crazy angry general hux speech andthis section after the opening stormtrooper seen its are other majorworld war two reference this whole thing is very closely modeled after thespeeches of adolf hitler not just the screaming and the uniforms but the bodylanguage the colors the troop formations and really blatantly the stormtroopersarms shooting up highly huck's nazis
have actually always been the maininspiration for the empire and hitler's rise to power is very similar to the waythe emperor did force awakens actually picks up where that left off becauseafter world war too many nazis went into hiding in argentina and that's almostexactly what happens after the empire shatter their remnants also go intohiding in argentina now getting high in the unknown region of the galaxy wherethey could all go be evil and be the new republic would notice also the way thefirst order takes young children and then they basically brainwash them intobelieving all there to get nonsense and then they turn them into storm troopersat all is all pretty much exactly what
the nazis did with the hitler youthenough not these ok i let's talk about what happens afterthe speech they use starkiller base to destroy the hosnian system includingjavi and prime which is the capital of the new republic and since we've seenhow it works that's the first time that a star has been utilized in an act ofwar in a star wars movie and it's called the hosnian system as a reference to thefamed los angeles high school teacher jim hosny who taught film to likeeverybody in hollywood when they were teens including all of jj abrams isregular producing partners brian burke who produced this movie where two or chiand alex kurtzman who co-produced the
star trek movies with jj money eventaught the son of lawrence kasdan who co-wrote this movie and return of thejedi and empire strikes back so i guess all these people just felt like theyowed this old high school teacher something so they named an entire starsystem after him and then they blew it up anyway back to the destroyed newrepublic capital we actually only get this really brief shot of it before it'sgoing out except that one shot is a remnant of another huge story line thatwas totally cut out of the movie and it's the big layer storylinethat i alluded to earlier so in that one shot of her husband andprime the camera focuses on this girl
that you might have wondered is sheimportant out did we see here before well she used to be important that'scourse lol and i'm gonna save a lot of these smaller details for another videobut basically in the time that passed since returned to the jedi the newrepublic really desperately wanted to pretend that everything was fine youwant to ignore it in the first order was doing it even though it was breaking allthese treaties that they had established princess leia originally was seen asthis kind of hero when she kept pointing out how stupid it was to ignore thefirst order everyone in the senate kind of started to hate her and it definitelystopped trusting her so that's why i
layer formed a resistance separate fromthe new republic and there was a whole story line in the movie that explainedall that in it now generally i feels that she finally has enough proof to thenew republic to act and send their fleet to take out the first order or arrestthem or do something because they know that they're building this insane weaponbut since she knows that no one in the new republic trust her anymore she hadto send one of our commanders forcella to meet with the new republic senate toconvince them to prepare for war would you like anything at all yeah all of this stuff was comfort i'mand they were also scenes in it where we
learned that he threepio is in charge ofthese droids that spy on the first order leia gives a passionate feet to hertroops there's all kinds of characters and leaders of naboo whole newchancellor and it's all gone we do however know how the story lineand because we see the killer son being hit hard and prime and there's coursealice screaming he's standing next to the new chancellor and yet proof therethere if you thought the movie was missing abit of the three politics of the new republicor lay up being a really badass general keep your fingers crossed for thedeleted scenes because i think that's
all in there ok so then later when the first orderattacks moses castle hon uses chuys broadcaster and even though he actuallyused it a little earlier in the movie find out that these two times like theonly times han has ever used chewy signature weapon and when he sees thatit can blow a freaking stormtrooper across the battlefield of course yeahhe's a big fan of it later when the storm troopers surround chewy and hardand have them put their hands up it's all a call back to with the momentreturn of the jedi where the same thing happens except here the resistance comesto the rescue and back then it was a
bunch of teddy bears or he walks oh andin this epic rescue sneak attack we get a moment where finn watches po flying itsays that that's one hell of a pilot and yeah he is because in that 22nd uncut shot ho takesout & tie fighters and three storm trooper if you've ever heard of the concept ofan ace pilot is defined as a pilot who has shot down at least five enemy planesover the course of their career so that means po is the double ace pilot in justthese 20 seconds yeah he's definitely one of the best pilot ever
and considering the gift that luke gavehis family and the comic book shattered empire there's a chance that there's actuallysome force at work in po link to that story in the description - and then when we finally do get layingin this movie how she arrives in a modified version of a b wing from returnof the jedi and it's actually another ship it's not like a new version it'sbeen cobbled together from parts left over from the original trilogy and itreally underlines that the resistance doesn't have nice anything like all oftheir stuff is left over from the
galactic civil war even their leadersthen right after she lands we get is really easy to miss cameo right beforehan and leia even talk we see what seems like a standard protocol droid but ifyou look closely it's actually c-3po of course you probably don't recognizethem because of the red arm ok no i'm kidding yes i know you can recognize thebut did you know that the red arm is going to get its own story in anotherpart of the saga apparently has to do with a sacrificethat another droid made and talking about it makes c-3po verysad and it's kinda feels like three people got like really close to anotherdroid while are two was asleep and i
mean jerk good for him it is legal matter anywayonce the gang goes over to the secret resistance face back on the car to get afew more cameos including carrie fisher's daughter billie lourd can alongfrom los and jj zone good luck charm greg grunberg who's been pretty mucheverything jay does he even snuck a man at her stepdad and star trek that carsonit with your friends but here he snap wesley a grownup version of 10 minwexley from that star wars aftermath book the most interesting thing there isthat in the book it doesn't come out and say it but it leaves you with thefeeling that he could have some of the
force in him so let's just keep an eyeon snap as the movies keep coming out oh and that doctor who is like hardcoreflirting with two weeks he's like column all brave and stuff cheese ladyshackleton from downton abbey but more interesting she's the niece ofchristopher lee who played count dooku now she's chuy's girlfriend which isjust asking for trouble with mars also the resistance base here looks almostidentical to the rebel bases in the past and it's like oh god the resistance justneed some new funding then went on a layer talking about their son who hasbeen seduced by the dark side she says there is still light in him i know whichis almost an exact quote of her mama
padme saying about anakin in kind ofboth those references to loop thing about vader there is to creating andit's interesting that luke and padme are saying it to obi-wan and here latersaying it to hans kinda like that will be one of this movie then after kylo has kidnapped play and force infiltrate your mind it'sworth pointing out that he sees her dreams of a place that has a vast oceanand an island which exactly describes where ray fiennes luke at the end of themovie also interesting despite kylo being the ultimate fan boy it's actuallyray who brings up darth vader and she's
the only person to mention that name inthis movie his presence is definitely everywhere and his presence and this isaround we're very famously pulls a jedi mind trick on a stormtrooper and it'sactually only the fifth time we've seen that work in the seventh movie so farand the stormtrooper just so happens to be played by daniel craig i'll say hisvoice down super american actually so it's a prettyeasy to miss but his character's name is a little less subtle it's jbdouble-oh-seven back on the car the resistance starts their plan to attackstarkiller base and we get lots of glimpses that all the characters whoseteams were cut out sorry to them but we
also get reintroduced a little 9 numberwho last co piloted the falcon with lando we also get everybody's favoritemodelling admiral ackbar and while it was really awesome to see him it cannotbelieve that they didn't have a car come running out when r 2 and vba put theirstar charts together and have him yelling it's a map missed opportunity ifyou ask me back over on circular base after ray hasescaped we get a nice little tour of the facility and it's just interesting tonote how you can see lots of places where the mechanical structures give wayto natural rock formations in the holes
and it really helps illustrate thatstore killer bass is not just some man-made weapon it's actually carved outof the rock of this already existing icy world we just never learned the planetsoriginal named after the falcon gets through the shield and lands on circularbase there was another deleted scene that has no troopers searching thefalcon but you do get to see those snow troopers for like literally less thanthree seconds on the base and their costumes are exactly the same designsthat were meant to be used way back on top and empire but they didn't end upgetting used until now then we find out that fit as a janitorand that's not just a good setup for a
wife and knows about the trash compactorit actually answer is a big question posed in the famous nerd analysis movieclerks take the average stormtrooper knows that install a toilet me closing that was killing and whiteuniforms and now we know yeah actually storm troopers have lowlevel non war-related specialties like sanitation side note the director ofclerks is kevin smith and he's a huge star wars nerd and he's got a voicecredit in the force awakens somewhere i just have not been able to find it letme know if you know where it is up above in the air attack on starkiller base weget some great shots of resistance pilot
a little at sea and that's a referenceto hello nasty the beastie boys album thatjade a big fan of it has the intergalactic on it which is a reallygood fit better than a sabotage tongue houston star trek his helmet also saysin our bash born to ill which is the combination of the born to kill helmetfrom full metal jacket and license till the first 50 boy studio album damn jjlike two loves the beastie boys and another resistance pilot just pava isactually introduced in the book the weapon of a jedi where she's like superinto loop link below but the actress jessica hand wiki marks our third gameof throne cameo you might remember her
as one of the sand snakes from dornewho's like really into whips also when you re watch the sequenceafter chewy has told hon that he's cold pay extra attention to han and finsjacket it's very subtle but we make sure that even though he's cold his oldfriend han gets his jacket bag and at some point it seems like finn haslearned from this because he's given his new friend ray his jacket and isever-changing jacket thing just a nice way to show the growing relationshipbetween finn and ray as it compares to han and chewy but it's actually probablysomething that we see a lot more of in another deleted scenes in this 102 wehave got to set the charges for the
bombs but rain finn have to go to adifferent part of the base to give han and chewie access in order to get therequickly ran finn steal another vehicle they take out some snow troopers andraised shows off more piloting of their snow speeder and you can actually stillsee the snowspeeder in the background just before they run back into the baseanother interesting choice and jj's imagery is less settled in the openingshots but it's still pretty cool when hans talking to kyle oh and the light onkyle his face changes from light to darkness and then his entire face getscast red light like the fifth color just ashis descent into the dark side is
complete it might not be the most subtleimagery but it's just straight up a cool way to tell us information withouthaving to explain it just literally with dialogue also in this moment where thespoiler spoiler for the how are you still watching the tv care aboutspoilers a moment where han guys you'll note that rey and finn have to watchtheir mentor type be struck down by a lightsaber and it all just mirrorspretty exactly luke watching vader kill obi-wan and also again it makes hon this movieadobe wall then hands body falls down into the void and it's reminiscent of abunch of other star wars falling deaths
including darth maul mace windu overfedthe emperor kind of similar to luke falling in empire strikes bag mostlysimilar to the emperor and dark more accepted you know darth maul didn'tactually die then very crazy it for another time . it wasthe following they got it started having safety nets or something ok moving on then pin and eventually rayhave some pretty badass duels with kylo out in the snow and man about the waylight sabers at night melting the snow that was all very cool but also cool isthe fighting style that they're using it actually lifted from the originaltrilogy despite modern technology being
able to recreate all the lips andparkour and fancy stuff they did in the prequels it actually makes sense that inboth the original trilogy and now in force awakens no jedi have actually gotin the level of training that allows for all those fancy moves even luke nevergets that great at handstands know in their universe it does make a lot ofsense that this is a battle of mostly brute force and now jabbing style of thetag a prequel fighting so much has been done a long time also another reference despite being herkyle is actually trying a very cocky one-handed style of fighting he'smimicking darth vader's form when he was
toying with luke that cockiness justdoesn't work out quite as well for kyle and moments later when the lightsaber isstuck in the snow and ray force yanks it out it's a lot like how luke did it inthe beginning of empire there's a much more interesting reference going on hereto a very old but very legendary tale that actually inspires a lot of thisentire movie but since we're almost done i'm just going to point out very quicklysome of the last easter eggs and references before i go into that includetrench run much like the one in new hope but just for a moment where pose flyingin the trenches starkiller base and after the win in the celebration backonto car but just before you see layout
flying solo at the bottom of the screenyou'll see just a little glimpse of our - katie a pink version of r2d2 that wascreated by star wars fan alvin johnson has a tribute to his daughter katie whounfortunately died by in 2005 but by putting the droid in thismovie she now has a legacy as big as star wars and then the star map thatbb-8 and r2 d2 put together is actually very specific style of map it existed inknights of the old republic these maps are very special they're very old achart many systems that there's no other record of and these maps might even haveconnections to the force itself so they're really fancy maps
finally the last basic language words ofthe film are may the force be with you but the actualfinal lines of the film just like the first ones are series ofbeeps and whistles except instead of bb-8 from r2 d2 megood okay returning to the huge reference that is going on throughoutthe entire movie let's go back to that battle in the snowthat rate had a vision of before this entire story of hers and kylo ren's isvery reminiscent to the tales of king arthur the force awakens actually gives us allsorts of little references to that time
. remember when high-low ren'slightsaber was first unveiled there was all that attention paid to thecrossguard that's because that's something we've never seen a lightsaberbefore but it's very common in medieval broadsword also kylos appearance issimilar to that of king arthur's nemesis mordred the shaggy hair the dark clothesit's actually looked at seen a lot in medieval warden type characters kind oflike jon snow is or i the sheriff of nottingham also some other uniquelymedieval references include a castle that covered in old bannersstormtroopers using shields kylos men being referred to as knights and knightsof ren even feel like the knights of the
round table that surround king arthurexcept they think i love arthur and the wrong all in one of his other soldiertypes where's the metallic armor other night but back to being mistaken abouthim ordered isn't the chosen one and neither is kylo just like in kingarthur's origin the chosen one is actually the young poor orphan ty stillkind of think the lightsaber or sword is his birthright especially because there's an evilpractitioner of dark magic snowboard morgan la fey and arthur storiesmisleading here but when the swords last saber is placed in stone or in this caseknow the one
who thinks it's his birthright can't getit out instead the sword will only go to the true chosen one a young arthur or inour case right now pulling the sword out of the stone man arthur was destined tobecome king so we'll see what that means for ray but it's also worth noting thata lot of those are 30 and stories a lot of versions of it mordred and arthur arerelated so that could be a clue to ray and wrens relationship it's also worthnoting that a lot of people have used this same comparison to describe theoriginal trilogy with luke and vader and those roles and the emperor as themorgan la fey type and actually i'll say that even if that's the case it alsoworks because if you say luke is
actually king arthur well in thosestories when arthur is gravely hurt his mythical sword excalibur is sent flyinginto the hands of the old and wise lady of the lake she holds a sword forsafekeeping until it died there needed again until arthur is time to returnwith mars is our lady of the lake she not only sees that the sword is neededagain giving it to ray but it also makes its way back to the original king arthurto mark his return when bray hands it to luke oh also remember where mazza's castle isyeah she lives on a lake ok that was fun and a holy crap so manyfreaking observations and reference
histo actually what the hell one morequick observation right at the end when we see luke before ray has interruptedhim and before he looks away it looks like he's looking at a gravestone lot oftheories rajita you tell me what you think that could be about it in thecomments and let me know anything else you think i might have missed i didn't leave out some things that ididn't find too interesting but some other stuff is in those other trailerbreakdown videos that i mentioned so check those out or any other videos thatyou might interest you there's a lot of them but if you like this video makesure to share it i think there's some
really good stuff here so it's a goodshare huh i've until milena you can follow meon twitter at fimo and follow this channel for video updates at new rockstars subscribe if you want to see more stuff like this in your feed regularlybecause this is what i live for this is what we make as for me i'm justgonna go see star wars again i know their stuff that i'm stillmissing and i'm just so mad i haven't heard the yoda line clearly i gotta go bye
