Notes

Film

  • Starts with Rey gasping, and ends with Rey snapping.

Podcast

  • How the important plot elements of this scene might be different if it was also directed by J. J. Abrams.
    • Pete's opinion is that what we see now doesn't contradict what we see later. Who Rey sees in the mirror is not her parents, but the person who made her who she is (herself, because she's self-made).
  • Steele remembers finding the few seconds between when Ray reaches out and when she touches the mirror interminable.
  • Steele's aunt had one of those dressers in the bathroom / washroom that has mirrors on three sides so when you look into it you see infinite reflections (Infinity Steeles). Maybe Rian had something similar.
  • Per Alex, the way the snap goes out and around and back to her is kind of a metaphor for the Force in a way because it controls her actions but also obeys her command in that she initiated it, but then can't help but snap when the snap reaches her again.
  • The shot of her slapping her hand down as she's getting out of the water is almost identical to the one from when she was meditating and slammed her hand down on the rock.
    • Alex is disappointed that there's not another shot so it could obey the comedy rule of thirds.
  • Referenced: Parody films like The Not Another Teen Movie movie.
    • There was "LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales" associated with The Force Awakens, but other than that there hasn't been as many comedic tie-ins to the newer Star Wars films so far, at least not compared to the Originals and Prequels which had Robot Chicken and Family Guy.

Quotes

  • Pete and then Alex: Gaspin' and snappin'.
  • Pete: They all look the same so it's hard to tell… that's not me being REYcist…
