(at around 1h 4 mins) Fans have gotten the in-joke from Jean Grey after watching Il ritorno dello Jedi (1983) in which she says the third movie is the weakest (in reference to the criticisms from the fans about X-Men: Conflitto finale (2006)). However, the scene includes another in-joke. Before Jean remarking that the third movie is the weakest, Jubilee says that L'Impero colpisce ancora (1980) was the best. Bryan Singer reportedly said in 2003 that he envisioned X-Men 2 (2003) as the film series' The Empire Strikes Back. Fans agree that X2 is the best of the first three, with some saying it is the best entry in the entire franchise. In addition, this could be viewed as a self-deprecating swipe at this very movie itself, it being the third of the "First Class" trilogy (with the second film "Days of Future Past" generally considered the best of the three, again like "The Empire Strikes Back").
