2. Chewbecca's Limb Removal

The movie's final scene sees Han and Chewie interrupting Lando's latest game of Sabacc, with Han aggressively and not-so-jokingly referring to Chewie's apparent propensity for ripping people's arms off.

Aside from being a callback to Han's similar line from A New Hope ("Droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that"), it also nods to a deleted scene from The Force Awakens, where Chewie rips Unkar Plutt's arm clean off.

Needless to say, Lando very nearly loses his cool and starts to take Han far more seriously once he mentions Chewie's penchant for limb removal.
