The moment arrives as Vice Admiral Holdo (Laura Dern) crashes her ship into a First Order cruiser at lightspeed to provide her fellow Resistance members with a chance to escape. The sound stops for 10 seconds, intended to underscore the magnitude of the scene. However, some audience members apparently believed there was a technical problem, and complained to theaters, which led to the warnings:

"Please note: The Last Jedi contains a sequence at approximately 1 hour and 52 minutes into the movie in which ALL sound stops for about 10 full seconds. While the images continue to play on the screen you will hear nothing. This is intentionally done by the director for a creative effect."

According to Entertainment Weekly, the signs were taken down before they went viral. "The sign was up at two of AMC’s 660 locations," read a statement from the theater chain. "It was removed last week before the media coverage began."
