That is not a great line.

Y'uh huh.

I must have been taking a piss

I didn't drink liquids for 2 days before TFA. My internal organs were at borderline failure, but I didn't have to take a piss break.

I had to piss pretty bad about an hour in but held it like a champ

Anybody else find it funny that a creepy looking ginger is one of the big bads?

Random commentary (not sure if it's been addressed in the 80+ pages, not gonna check):

I thought the bowcaster deal was a little bit much. I'm ok with it being a really powerful gun and all, but how long have Han and Chewie been partners- has to be going on 40 years, right? You'd think at some point, they'd each have shot the other's gun. Target practice, if nothing else.
Yeah, I get that it was done for giggles, and it also established that Ren took a pretty big hit prior to fighting Rey.

Something I did appreciate was Poe mocking Ren for sounding muffled behind the mask (and to be honest, I couldn't quite understand Ren at that moment either). It was definitely a different reaction than what Vader drew and it seemed odd at the time (I thought it was done for laughs too, and to mock Bane in the Batman movie), but taking in the movie as a whole, it made sense. I get the sense that nobody took Ren very seriously, he's a tantrum-prone brat. And being the son of Han and Leia, you might see how he could get that sense of entitlement (our heroes appear to be celebrities in this universe too). Probably even as he showed he was Force-sensitive and began his Jedi training, he was still widely viewed as that spoiled kid who got everything because of his parents.
They're laughing at me, like I'm a joke. Han Solo's little kid. But I'm also Darth Vader's grandson, and nobody laughed at him. I'll show them

When they saw each other again.

what was the explanation?

I remember it being:

begin scene:
Boyega-what happened to you?
Poe-I woke up and you were gone.
Poe-hey that's my jacket.
end scene

That's about right.

Was that not enough?

The explanation doesn't need to be fancy.

"Dude, I ejected and got knocked the frick out. When I woke up, you were gone so I went and rejoined my squad."

Exactly.

Uh, we stole a ship and hyperdrived it here, how the frick did you get across the galaxy from the middle of the desert after being knocked out?
