10 Star Wars Moments Deeper Than You Think

5. The Resistance Destroys The Dreadnought - The Last Jedi

The Last Jedi kicks off with Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) launching a counterattack against the First Order fleet. Poe orders Paige Tico (Veronica Ngo) - sister of Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) - to drop a bomb payload onto a First Order dreadnought, as destroys it.

However, before Paige drops the payload, on the right-hand side of the screen, we can see that one of the bombs has a message on it. The message is written in the common galactic alphabet Aurebesh and actually translates to an unexpectedly irreverent message - "Han says hi."

And so, the attack on the dreadnought takes on a wholly more symbolic meaning with this in mind, that the Resistance destroyed the First Order vessel in honour of one of their most beloved fallen heroes.
