* [[Show Within a Show]]: The beginning of the movie starts with Saji and a few of his friends watching a movie glorifying Celestial Being's actions in the series. It. Is. ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|Hilarious]]''.

* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: {{spoiler|The ELS’ attempts at assimilation weren't for the destruction of humanity, but an attempt to understand them}}. Had they {{spoiler|told this to Setsuna instead of [[Mind Rape|Mind Raping]] him when ''he'' tried to understand ''them''}}, this whole debacle would never have happened. Then again, this is a ''[[Gundam]]'' movie, so it's pretty much par for the course.

** Keep in mind, however, that {{spoiler|it was pretty clear the ELS had serious trouble communicating with human minds, and the [[Mind Rape]] was an ''unintentional'' side-effect of this. The ELS ''did'' try to communicate back, but there was so much information for even Setsuna's Innovator brain. Setsuna only succeeded in communicating with the ELS via Veda's help}}.

** On the other hand, judging by the images Setsuna receives at the end, {{spoiler|the ELS have "communicated" several other sentient species ''into extinction'', along with their entire biospheres.}} Also worth considering is that {{spoiler|just as the Federation delegates questioned whether the ELS were sentient or even ''alive'', the ELS may not have considered humans sentient. After all, their [[Hive Mind]] holds so much more information than ours that they may see us the way we see ants: alive, but with intelligences so puny that it's [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|"okay"]] to kill them en masse. Had Setsuna not communicated with them and shown that humans are sentient, the ELS may very well have [[The End of the World As We Know It|assimilated every living thing on Earth.]]}}

*** This doesn't seem to be the case, since they were perfectly content to leave Earth alone until people with quantum brainwaves started emerging, which appears to be the universal indication for advanced sentient life in the Gundam 00 universe. Though the ELS don't perceive this as attacking or destruction; they simply seek to understand other life-forms with same capabilities in the only way they know. Setsuna provides them with alternate method of communication along with the basic understanding of human psyche, which is a satisfying solution for them.

* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: The subplot from the series involving Feldt's feelings for Setsuna and whether or not they were requited is ''still'' left unresolved, much to the annoyance of some.

'''Question''': Even if Feldt was that close to him, she did not get close to [knowing] his true feelings? <br />
