Alex's pet peeve that whatever we see of them in the movie is their entire personality and their wookieepedia entry. She wanted to see fathiers more than anything
How to pronounce "fathier". Mentioned: Zamfir, master of the pan flute.
Jackie quotes do you ever get parkour and pon farr confused? I do. all the time. Pete: The worst is when you &mdash;Alex not the way I do it &mdash; get it mixed up in the middle. Jackie by the way this is the only place that joke works Veronica ngo as a fantana (orange fanta girl)
We don't yet know that the medallion represents her connection to her sister. when she grabs it, it givers her the strength to kick the clicker down to her, and we don't know if that's some kind of magic or her using the Force.
Continuity issue in that she is lying on her back, but when she catches it she's lying on her stomach and catches it with her other hand but we don't see her roll over
The acting/directing choice of having paige close her eyes when she's about to be engulfed in flames. Would we be so stoic if facing our imminent demise? It's almost like this is the resistance propoganda version of how this went down. Meta notes resistance propaganda posters?
Picturing the grade school play version of these events, like a thanksgiving pageant.
In an earlier version of the scrip Paige died in Finn's arms, leaving a bloody handprint on him to parallel TFA, but the director couldn't get the scene to work.
The aesthetic of the clicker. It's sci-fi, but like it was made in the 70s. Mentioned: Filco, Qui-Gon's lady's razor.Coleco football game.
The aesthetic of the empire/First order vs the rebels/resistance clean vs junky and lived in.
Why would you have a remote control that drops the bombs? What if you lost it in the couch?
How they would have done Paige's death in the version where Finn was in the bomber too, especialyl considering how artsy this movie is.
The shots of poe and Canady shouting with no sound (just score), and what they are saying. Canady is obviously saying "fire!", but Poe could be saying "no" or "now" or "go" or he could just be saying his own name like a pokemon or a teletubby. maybe that's how he got his name.

Jackie's TLJ memories
The way she sees movies is she sees them in 2D first at her local theater to assess if they'd be good in 3D.
 The next time she sees a movie she'd go look for it in 3D. She did see this one both ways.
 There's a great 3D theater down by the Chinese Theatre, but there's also a weird 4D experience theater near there too, like Honey, I Shrunk the Audience!. Don't go to that one.
 She loved it in 3D.
She likes to see it first at her local theater because everyone brings their kids. And it's ok because she's going to see it at least two more times.
 Pete retells the story of seeing a showing of 2001: A Space Odyssey in Times Square when he and Adam had 3 hours to kill on their way to a concert. In front of them were tourists who were totally bored, but next to them were a pair of Japanese tourists who seemed to not have seen it before and were super into it, they were discovering the movie for the first time, and that's a great experience to have people like that watching the movie with you.
