Summary
General Hux is tooled with.
Guests
None
Notes
Film
- Starts with Hux telling Poe that he will wipe their scum from the Galaxy and ends with Poe none-the-less attacking the dreadnoughts with his X-Wing.
Podcast
- "Hugs with an H" joke reopens the can of worms of the movies are being translated into English from Star Wars language. See also: X-wings and Y-wings. Bringing up the alphabet is always dicey.
How they do this joke in other Earth languages
| Language | Description |
|---|---|
| In Danish | They don't dub normally films (except cartoons) but the subtitles said "General" Koks", Koks being slang for when things mess up. |
| Spanish | In the version of the film that's in English with Spanish subtitles, Poe calls him "General ugh", referring to the word in English since ugh isn't really used in Spanish. In the dub version they called him General Palidox”, combining the words Pálido (pale) and Hux. |
| Hungarian | He's just pretending to have a bad connection. |
| Russian | They left out the entire bit. |
| Ukrainian | The word they used (part of which Pete cannot say out loud without censoring himself) is "генерал Факс", which translates to "General Fax" (like a fax machine). |
| Italian | They already pronounce his name as 'General Hacks' and so Poe calls him General Fax (which has the same meaning as it does in English). Does this mean they have fax machines in Star Wars? |
| Chinese (Traditional) | "General Hux" was translated phonetically as "He-Si". "Hugs" was translated as "Ho-Si", where "Ho" was spelled as the word that means 'monkey'. |
- Referenced the Chinese word for "crisis".
More notes
- Speaking of slang languages (slanguages), Captain Peavey says he's "tooling with you". Listeners: call in if you've heard someone say he's tooling with you in real life. Call 8-DAY-GREEDO.
- Poe's "Yo Mama" joke.
- Stats on the Dreadnaught:
- Mentioned: What is that in Enterprises?
- 27 Enterprises long and 3 Enterprise-lengths in height. Mentioned: ABCD:TOS.
- Crew compliment of the Fulminatrix. ***Stormtroopers vs. enlisted?
- Wreckage of the Fulminatrix is seen in "Resistance".
- Mentioned: What is that in Enterprises?
- Does Poe know that Hux is pasty and skinny, or is he making things up? How much do they know/know of each other?

- Rare closeup shot of Poe's eyes. Cinematographer Steve Yedlin. This movie is beautiful to look at.
- Compare to the TV-movie-esque look of ROTJ. Maybe because they knew it would be viewed on home video.
- The Prequels don't really stand out cinematographically.
- Rogue One was also beautiful but this one is more artsy.
Meta Minute
