* {{Irony}}: We get two ironic lines back to back.
** "What do you think's going to happen here? That I'll walk out there with a laser sword and challenge the entire First Order?" Yes, he does exactly that.
** "I'm not leaving without you." Yes she is. And she's going to steal his old X-Wing to do it.

* VerbalBackspace: Luke is wondering who Rey is, why she's there, and where the hell she came from.
-->'''Luke:''' Where are you from?\\
'''Rey:''' Nowhere.\\
'''Luke:''' Nobody's from nowhere.\\
'''Rey:''' Jakku.\\
'''Luke:''' Okay, that's pretty much nowhere.

** Poe does even beter when he's back in a ship he's comfortable with, taking out individual soldiers on the ground to free Han, Chewie, and Finn, before going on to take out 6 TIE fighters, then a squad on the ground, then 4 more TIE ''in a single pass''. A hell of a pilot indeed.

* MentorInSourArmor: Han rather quickly takes a shine to Finn and Rey, offering the former advice about girls (having not been fooled by the "I'm in the Resistance" lie) and offering Rey a job because she's figured out the Millenium Falcon.

Examples aren't "could be". They are or they aren't. Besides, it only counts if the heroes agree with him, and they certainly don't.


* JerkassHasAPoint: General Hux's speech before executing Starkiller Base's fury on the Hosnian System could be considered a major philosophical and political case of this.

* DamselInDistress: Parodied. Finn first sees Rey when some thugs accost her to steal BB-8 and rushes over to help her, only for her to successfully fight them off before he's halfway there. When the First Order attacks Niima Outpost, he still treats her like a helpless damsel, no matter how clear it is or how much she protests that she's perfectly capable on her own. This culminates in a scene where they both get thrown off their feet by an explosion. Rey is up and alert almost immediately, while Finn is knocked out... and when she wakes him up, he asks her if she's okay. Rey is left dumbstruck. This is justified by Palpatine's (and thus the Empire's and the First Order's) bigotry. He's the worst kind of man and the structures he created reflect that; Finn learned misogyny along with xenophobia while indoctrinated by the First Order.

He's the worst kind of man Order is repeatedly shown to be EqualOpportunityEvil, this seems less like gender chauvinism and the structures he created reflect that; Finn learned misogyny along with xenophobia while indoctrinated by the First Order.more like a soldier from a fascist system having been trained to regard civilians as helpless.

* WhamLine: About halfway through, Snoke reminds Kylo Ren about who his father is, which changes the whole tone of the film.

* BattleAgainstTheSunset: Exaggerated. Because Starkiller Base literally consumes suns to power it, The Resistance fights to stop Starkiller Base from destroying their base of operations in the light of a dying sun, resembling a sunset. As Poe states, "As long as there is light, we've got a chance."

* ForWantOfANail: Poe had an opportunity to shoot a dazed and confused Stormtrooper, but chose not to take it. That Stormtrooper was Finn, and if he had taken that shot, he would have doomed the Galaxy to the tyranny of the First Order.

* PantsPositiveSafety: Han Solo gives Rey a blaster pistol, but no holster; so she quite casually stuffs it through the back of her belt. Solo, the experienced gunman, has no problem with this. The blaster stays secure through a lot of running and fighting. It does have a safety, as seen when she tries firing it.
