Line 25:
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Captain Phasma got a lot of hype during the movie's pre-release days, with Disney clearly trying to hype her up as a really big deal. She gets maybe a minute or so of screentime before being unceremoniously tossed down a garbage chute [[Dirty Coward|after dooming Starkiller Base to destruction just to save her own skin.]]
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: The main weakness of Starkiller Base is that there is a need to contain the energy it receives from absorbing a star and the base's thermal oscillator is one of the more important safeguards that's preventing the energy from violently tearing the First Order's stronghold apart. The Resistance is aware of the oscillator's role and with it's destruction, Starkiller Base explodes in a similar manner to the second Death Star.
* [[Bait and Switch]]: At this point of the franchise, it was almost a cliche for Sith to kill their minions by force choking them after they inform the Sith of their failures. Kylo Ren instead just attacks an electronic panel in frustration when he first receives bad news, and shockschokes a First Order official, using his own hands instead of the Force, only when he mentions Rey, that he wants to know more about.
* [[The Cavalry]]: Finn, Solo, and Chewbacca are on the verge of being overrun by the First Order in the ruins of Maz's cantina. As the Stormtroopers were processing their new prisoners, Poe Dameron leads a squadron of X-Wings to free the heroes from their captors and the battle gains a second wind as Poe decimates the First Order's air support and the occasional Stormtrooper.
* [[Derelict Graveyard]]: Sometime between this film and ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' there was a massive battle between the New Republic and the stragglers of the Galactic Empire above Jakku, and the aftermath is the hulls of several Imperial Star Destroyers partially submerged in the planet's sand dunes. And also, Rey is living inside an incapacitated AT-AT.
