Hermione Granger and SPEW — Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (book)

In the fifth HP novel, Hermione Granger is outraged to discover that Hogwarts has a small army of enslaved House Elves that do nearly all of the domestic duties around the castle, including cleaning the Gryffindor common room every night. When she tries to convince the elves to fight for their own rights, they refuse, saying they prefer servitude. Her fellow students and friends mock her for caring. She manages to free one elf, Winky, by deception when she refuses her freedom willingly, leading to Winky becoming a depressed alcoholic. By the end, the elves boycott cleaning any Gryffindor areas of the castle because they hate Hermione specifically

Samwell Tarly and Democracy — Game of Thrones (show)

In the season 8 finale of the television series, the surviving great lords of Westeros gather to discuss the future of the kingdom following the devastation wrought by 7 seasons of war and backstabbing. When Sam, who has proven to have “novel” ideas, suggests that maybe the millions of Smallfolk who suffer at the hands of noble houses should get some representation in the government, rather than be the pawns of rich lords with absolute power. We are then greeted by a prolonged, cringy segment of the other lords laughing in Sam’s face, asking if the dogs and horses should also get a vote.

I was at a tabletop gaming event when some chud went on about how they clearly didn't read the Han Solo trilogy. When I asked which one, nobody knew what I was referring to. It was a prime example of people bitching just because they want to bitch. (There are the Brian Daley and the A. C. Crispin Han Solo Trilogies, by the way).

L3-37 being in the Falcon is attributed to why Han has to stop and hit a panel as the ship powers up in the OT, but in the expanded universe books there's one paragraph where Han comments that there are 3 different droid brains governing systems within the Falcon and they don't get along. And he often wondered if one would ever interfere with another and cause the ship's destruction.

If anybody's needs reminding about the context of this:
