Trivia
According to director Rian Johnson, the Porgs were the result of puffins being native to Skellig Michael, the island where the Achto scenes were filmed. They were unable to move them as they are a protected species and it would've been too time consuming and expensive to edit them out of the shots, so Rian decided to create a new indigenous species and simply CGI over the puffins.
Quotes
Resistance Evacuation Officer:
We're not clear yet. There are still 30 pallets of cannon shells in C bunker.
Lieutenant Connix:
Forget the munitions, there's no time. Just get everyone on the transports.
Lieutenant Connix:
Oh, no.
Goofs
For some reason, the 'blow smoke from the tip of a gun's barrel' western cliché move exists in the Star Wars universe. Even though the smoke from the barrel of blasters to blow does not (as gunpowder is unknown in this galaxy, so no gun provides any smoke).
Crazy Credits
In loving memory of our princess, Carrie Fisher.
