TLJ Little Details

1. I don't recall seeing a gonk droid in this one. Though I could have missed it

2. BB8 said "I have a bad feeling about this". Right at the beginning to Poe

3. I also don't recall seeing a mouse droid

4. Looking past all of the high life fun on the surface, you could see the suffering of the "low" forgotten the closer you look.

5. Great question!

6. If there was anything that bothered me.. it was the uneventful death of admiral Ackbar

7. Another great question!

Also, I did hear someone wonder how DJ knew that the resistance were sending the ships to the secret base. The answer was on the ship with Finn and Rose, while Finn was talking to Poe on the communicator

 

Lol, neither do I, I only knew because I think Rian revealed this in a interview.

 

The sea monster in the ocean as Rey is walking up the hill.

The green milk he gets from the (what are they called?) is a call back to bluemilk

The mouse droid is there but he's bigger. I remember the first time seeing TLJ and immediately heard the sound it makes and thought that can't be it, but it is.

The dice that hung in the falcon given to Leia by Luke

Twin Suns when Luke is force projecting before he dies.

Gareth Edwards at the battle of Crait in the trench.

Apparently Mark Hamill is the voice of the one who puts coins in BB8(I was told this)

Rey sees Luke's Xwing in the water

 

Rey catching rainwater in her hand as it falls off the Falcon, and smiling.

Another moment similar to her seeing green landscape for the first time in TFA.

 

Regarding (7):

My favorite little thing in the film is Rey's reaction to (presumably) seeing and interacting with rain for the first time.

 

• DJ giving Rose back her pendant.
  
• Ben's "please" (the boy does have some manners in there somwhere!) : o O
  
• Finn and Rey's hug.
• Poe rubbing BB-8's belly.
  
• the ridiculous way Hux's eyebrows are combed.
  
• Luke tossing the lightsaber
• the caretakers!!! : D
• death to the stinky fishy-eyed toilet monster.
  
• the way Rey leans on Ben's back to kick the praetorian guard.
• the Falcon dice. : o (
• Luke kissing Leia goodbye.
• the "gory" Crait battlefield.
• how happy Rey is to see Ben (poor naive girl).
• Finn taking out Phasma.
• Finn in First Order officer uniform (he looks sharp!)
• Poe holds Leia's hand after getting chewed out.

could probably come up with many more!

 

BB-8 imitating a mouse droid when under the trash can.

R2 playing Leia’s message again.

Chewy not eating roasted Porg.

Luke’s wink at Threepio.

Luke not making footprints on Crait.

The giant pile of boxes for DJs payment. Similar to Hans reward in ANH.

Lukes look at Leia when she realizes he’s not actually on Crait.

 

I genuinely love this.
It really bugged me in the PT when they'd go to these wild insane worlds in times of "peace" and there's no pause to just take it in.

 

Here's another one I thought of that kind of rhymes but differently.

Luke seen only good in Vader, but seen only darkness in Ben. I thought about this on my second viewing.

 

Luke and the sun staring.

The sunken X-Wing.

Luke being knocked backward and down by Rey similar to how he was knocked down in The Empire Strikes Back. Same direction, but Luke now seems to use the Force to prevent a complete fall.

The inverse directioning of the AT-AT/M6s vs. Rebels/Resistence when comparing Epsiode V with VIII.

The powerful metaphor of the dead and hollowed-out tree serving as a Jedi library: a tree which can no longer grow, whose roots and rings have been routed, allowing but a sliver of light to read by.

The Yin-Yang symbol on Ahch-To.

Rose's half necklace / pendant.

BB-8's inventive repurposing of deposited coins.

The broomstick Force-grab and slight mock use as a faux lightsaber.

The children retelling a tale of Luke Skywalker (with a makeshift action figure) in their own language.

Yoda laughing again.

 

• The two porgs snuggling each other in the background before Rey picks up the lightsaber Luke tossed.
• The porgs nesting on the Falcon.
• After Ben ForceSkypes with Rey while she's in the rain, his own hand has water on it.
• As many others have mentioned, Rey holding her hand in the rain and smiling.
• Luke's collection of things in his hut, including a compass.
• Luke carefully folding his "white" formal Jedi robes.
• Poe giving BB-8 a belly rub and "forehead" bump
• Ben Solo using a blue lightsaber as a student (was that the legacy lightsaber?)
• Luke catching himself with the Force before he hits the ground when Rey knocks him back.
• The stable boy Force-calling the broom, then raising it like a lightsaber.
• The sea monster in the background at Acht-To.

 

I really liked that porgs were more or less reduced to island pests infesting the Falcon.

 

Some more I just remembered:

How Rey surrendered herself to the First Order just as Luke surrendered in Return of the Jedi.

How Snoke forced Rey to view the Resistence fleet, just as Darth Sidious did with Luke.

The lightsaber splitting in two.

When Rey mentions "lifting rocks" when she sees the boulders blocking the remaining Resistance's escape.

Luke dusting off his shoulder after the First Order barrage.

The "shooting star" seen by the child with the broomstick.
