“I know how to run without you holding my hand!”
Rey and Finn have just play on Jakku . We ca n’t not cursorily notice a singular line from their first conversation : When asked if he ’s with the Resistance , Finn awkwardly lies , “ Obviously . Yes . I am . I ’m with the Resistance , yeah . I ’m with the Resistance . ” Somehow Rey buys that before BB-8 suddenly alerts them to a span of Stormtroopers pointing their agency . Finn immediately usher some badly - send word chivalry , grabbing Rey ’s paw and running forth .
He chop-chop learns Rey is no damsel in suffering . She ’s as touch by the baddies chase after them as she is by the bridge player holding . “ Let go of me ! ” she cries . “ I know how to run without you holding my paw ! ” He lets go and they feel a brief concealing spot . But when Finn hears something , he grabs her hand again and she shout , “ Stop taking my hand ! ”
“I can do this!”
There are a few of amusing scenes inThe Force Awakensinvolving the Millennium Falcon ( the funniest , and early , is still to come on this list ) . This one occurs just after they go up aboard Han Solo and Chewbacca ’s dear old starship , while still on Jakku . First we see Rey in the cockpit , frantically flipping switches and push button in an attempt to get the ship proceed . She take a thrust at ego - motivation , desperately tone to herself,“I can do this ! I can do this ! ”
That in itself was kind of heartwarming , but the humor take a hop out in the edit . Immediately after Rey ’s self - motivational chant , we see Finn down in the gun turret , swinging around in the chair and trying to figure out how to keep the thing stable enough to get clean shot off at the attacking TIE Fighters . And reckon what he ’s say to himself?“I can do this ! I can do this ! ”
14 parsecs?
This is one of the manyA New Hopecallback jokes in Episode VII . Any trueStar Warsfan think of well that inEpisode IV , Han Solo was shocked that Luke and Obi - Wan had never get wind of his prized ship , crow , “ You ’ve never hear of the Millennium Falcon ? It ’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs . ”Star Warslore has it that the Kessel Run is a peculiarly tough smuggling route , so Han ’s record was especially telling . Of naturally , science - minded kinsfolk will tell you that that boast piss no sense , because a parsec is a unit of length , not clock time . ( really , even more science - yttrium people have figured outhow it could make sense . )
So having the 12 - parsec record in our heads all these years , it was funny to hear that the legend had been go past down to the vernal generation inThe Force Awakens . While in the Falcon with Han and Chewie , an awestruck Rey tell Finn , “ This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in 14 parsec ! ” Ever - protective of his achievements , Han overhear and calls out , “ 12 ! ” and then murmur unbelievingly , “ 14 . ”
“So who talks first?”
The very first sequence of the movie establish that we may very well be in for some quality , well - delivered humour inThe Force Awakens , after the lusterless mirth we endure in the prequels . It pack place , of course , on the desert planet Jakku , when Kylo Ren and his First Order Stormtroopers terrify a village , in search of the mathematical function to Luke Skywalker ’s whereabouts . Poe had been in willpower of the map , but gave it to BB-8 , who ran off with it .
When Poe tries to blast Ren away , the dark side Force - user freeze not only the blast , but also Poe himself , and Stormtroopers work him to Ren . They gaze at each other for a few beat before Poe doer Oscar Isaac calmly , brilliantly bemock the consequence by saying,“So who speak first ? You speak first?”Not at all what you ’d expect from a man stare into Kylo Ren ’s intimidating mask . But then he goes on to bemock even that mask , kick , “ It ’s just very hard to understand you with all the … apparatus . ” For the audience , it furnish some comic backup man to a very tense early scene .
Chewbacca is a big baby
There are a turn of funny moments between honest-to-god sidekick Han Solo and Chewbacca inThe Force Awakens . For exemplar , after decades together , Han finally decides to try out Chewie ’s awesome bowcaster . When he first boom away a few Stormtroopers , in the warmth of battle he breathlessly , playfully recognise , “ I like this thing . ”
But arguably the funniest moment between these two are the 1 that portray Chewie as ( although still a full badass warrior ) a large , furry baby . First , the Wookiee is shoot in the shoulder while attempt to get by the gang member they encounter . Once safely on the Falcon , Chewie seems to moan something about not doing a beneficial line of work because he got hurt and Han has to always remind him to rest . Once at the Resistance Base , a doctor tends to Chewie , who appear to be recount the battle that left him injured . The doctor reply in patronizingly funny fashion , “ That sounds very scary . You must be so brave . ”
Later , Han , Finn and Chewie are on the frigid Starkiller Base . Chewie , cake in lovesome fur , apparently complain about being insensate and Han moan “ Oh really , YOU’RE dusty ? ”
The trash compactor gag
Way back inA New Hope , our gang of Rebels get stuck in a trash compactor while trying to wear out Princess Leia out of the Death Star . It ’s a memorable vista mostly for its tension and unusual , mostly unobserved tentacled monster footle in its watery astuteness . And our paladin narrowly bunk being crushed to demise .
They call back to this classic scene with humor inThe Force Awakens . After Han , Chewbacca and Finn are finished interrogating Captain Phasma on Starkiller Base , they do n’t bang what to do with her . So Han asks Finn ( who ’s familiar with Starkiller Base ) , “ Is there a garbage sloping trough ? folderol compactor ? ” And Finn proclaim with a broad smile , almost like he ’s in on the jape in a meta variety of way , “ Yeah , there is ! ” Because , of course , there ’s a trash compactor on every planet - destroying home .
“That one’s garbage.”
Director J.J. Abrams pulls off a clever second of editing to land an early joke inThe Force Awakens . Rey and Finn are run from attack TIE Fighters on Jakku when Rey decides that they ’ll need to find a ship to get to condom . Finn points toward a ship and asks , “ What about that one ? ” But Abrams does n’t show us the ship , even when Rey responds , “ That one ’s garbage . ”
She has blot the ship she wants and they ’re running towards it when it ’s suddenly fellate to bits by TIE Fighter clap . We then get a morsel of a chortle when Rey ’s reaction is to say , “ The garbage’ll do . ” The repetition of the word “ refuse ” only serves to emphasize how tawdry she thinks the unobserved ship is . They turn tail toward the garbage ship and then Abrams give us the hilarious reveal : the lump of junk is our darling Millennium Falcon !
“That’s not how the Force works.”
Han , Finn and Chewie have arrived at Starkiller Base to rescue Rey and confront Kylo Ren . Before they left the Resistance Base , Finn had corroborate to Han that he could see out how to disable Starkiller Base ’s shields , so the Resistance fighters could get in and blow the matter up . Despite being a little awkward about it , Finn proved himself once again to be a convincing prevaricator , move Han to say,“I like this guy . ”
But when they get to the bad guys ’ lair , Han lead off questioning Finn , learning that he was a sanitation worker before he desert . “ Sanitation ? ” questions Han . “ Then how do you make out how to deactivate the shell ? ” Finn answer , “ I do n’t . I ’m just here to get Rey . ” He goes on to add , naively , like it ’s nothing , like he ’s being helpful , “ We ’ll expend the Force ! ” To which Han response , incense , saying whatStar Warsfans experience to be rightful : “ That ’s not how the Force works ! ”
BB-8’s thumbs up
TheStar Warsfilms are satiate with Laurel and unfearing style drollery bits between R2 - D2 and C-3P0 . And R2 always seems to have just the right tool inside his little dead body to get the job done . Those two fall back themes come together in the form of the beetleweed ’s raw goofy droid , BB-8 , inThe Force Awakens .
It come during a funny view where Rey is down below in the Falcon , making some repairs , and call for Finn where the Resistance Base is . Finn still does n’t want to give away that he ’s not part of the Resistance , rather a desert Stormtrooper , so he try out to get BB-8 to tell Rey where the base is . He does confide in the droid that he ’s not part of the Resistance , and that , along with some whispered mendicancy , seems to win points with the little stave droid . lastly , he beeps the location to Rey , then Finn respond with a ovolo up . In response , BB-8 cracks up the audience by draw out his welding common mullein , R2 - elan , and pops up a fire : his version of a thumbs up !
Stormtroopers want no part of Kylo Ren’s freakout
Kylo Ren has brought Rey to his restrain interrogative room at Starkiller Base and has a frustratingly punishing time say her . He get something out of her , but she gets something from him , too . After he leaves , she ’s guard by a undivided stormtrooper . What follows is a chuckle - suitable scene on its own , as she initially examine and fails to use a Jedi creative thinker trick on the state trooper . But finally she succeeds and gets away and , on her way out , comically dictate the state trooper to expend his weapon .
When the impetuous Kylo Ren discovers that she ’s expire , he freaks right out – his 2nd such fit of rage in the motion picture . He unleash his lightsaber and we only hear the wipeout he ’s unleashing inside the interrogation elbow room , while we see a couple of troopers round a corner , maybe headed to check on the prisoner . But , upon hearing the folly , they know exactly what ’s up and hilariously turn on their heel and go back the other way . It ’s an almost silly reaction , totally played for laughs – like something you might see in a LegoStar Warscartoon . But it works because , let ’s confront it , we all would do the precise same matter if we were in their shoe .
