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

    • In Danish they don't dub films (except cartoons) but the subtitles said "General" Koks" Koks being slang for when things mess up.
    • 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 himnñ General Palidox”, combining the words Pálido (pale) and Hux.
    • In Hungarian he's just pretending to have a bad connection.
    • In Russian they left it out.
    • In Ukrainian the word that used which Pete cannot say out loud генерал Факс, which translates to "General Fax" (like a fax machine).
    • In the Italian Italian version they already pronounce it 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?
    • In Traditional Chinese, "General Hux" was translated phonetically as "He-Si". "Hugs" was translated as "Ho-Si", where "Ho" was spelled as the word that means 'monkey'.
