 * Ace Pilot: Even though Poe Dameron has an lesser role due to his X-Wing getting destroyed, the opening battle of the movie showcases him destroying an Dreadnought's defensive turrets while being chased by an flight of TIE Fighters.
 * Eye Scream: The fate of one of Snoke's guards is having an igniting lightsaber burn through one of their eyes and the rest of their skull.
 * Faceless Goons: Where an Stormtrooper's helmet retains some features of a face, the faceplates of Snoke's bodyguards are completely featureless.
 * Praetorian Guard: Like Palpatine, Supreme Leader Snoke has eight personal guards. But unlike Palpatine's guards, their crimson armor actually blends into the walls of Snoke's throne room; plus, they also wield an variety of weapons instead of just being uniformly armed with pikes.
 * Ramming Always Works: Especially at lightspeed.
 * Sink the Life Boats: With the flagship of the Resistance running off the last of it's fuel reserves, their contingency plan is to evacuate the ship with a flotilla of unshielded and unarmed transports. Hux, being the merciless that he is, orders the cannons of the Supremacy to fire on the transports to thin out the Resistance.
 * Stern Chase: After the Resistance have evacuated from their (formerly) hidden base on D'Qar by travelling through hyperspace, they learned that the First Order is capable of following them with ease. Faced with all of their starfighters destroyed, running critically low on fuel, and experiencing an unyielding artillery barrage from the First Order; Vice Admiral Holdo's solution is to order her fleet to retreat without jumping to lightspeed. Even though, the Resistance fleet is faster than the First Order's warships, it's only an matter of time before they run out of fuel and slide into the range of the cannons of the Supremacy.
 * Tempting Fate: Immediately before his demise, Snoke is bragging to Rey about how loyal Ren is and that his apprentice will cut down his true enemy with an lightsaber sitting right on the armrest of his throne and is pointing right at him. It doesn't take much for Ren to ignite it on the guy who's been mistreating him.
 * We Can Rule Together: After Rey helps him kill Snoke and his bodyguards, Kylo Ren offers Rey to help him run the First Order and take over the galaxy. She refuses and the two starts fighting as Ren tries to illustrate how wrong she is.
 * Whip Sword: Two of Snoke's Elite Praerorian Guards weilds an rapier that collapses into an energy-infused whip.
 * You Do NOT Want to Know: The Resistance contacts Maz Kanata for advice on how to escape the pursuing First Order and she exasperatedly mentions is dealing with what she's calls an "union dispute" and insists that the details are best left unmentioned. But it's pretty clear that there's an riot going on, considering that gunfire can be heard in the background and she's holding a blaster pistol.
 * You Rebel Scum: In recognition of Finn's treachery and on the verge of death, Captain Phasma calls the former Stormtrooper scum; to which Finn corrects her, "rebel scum."
 * Your Mom: At the beginning of the movie, Poe Dameron manages to stall an invading First Order fleet by prank calling General Hux, who is rather confused by the Resistance pilot's audacity until Poe mention's Hux's mother. Hux didn't take it well, considering that he order his forces to open fire on Poe.
