Uh oh; there's a Y name. Unless we can use non-English alphabetic characters, Xasha/Yanni is almost out of letters (æ ø å anyone?). After the first character I thought would live ended up being actually dead though, I'm feeling like the Irregulars are setting something up here with the sudden name change. This whole scene in the movie also feels like the movie is trying to show how much more dangerous things are/will be in the sequel trilogy. Though it would be a waste of Harrison Ford's talent to show up for 10(?) minutes of character reprisal before getting unceremoniously eaten by a random monster, so perhaps not. Not to mention, the identity "Han Solo" did last a large amount of time (764 to 1519), so maybe the character will survive for a while.

On the other hand, I could be reading into something that doesn't exist as we literally just had a Spit Out a Shoe moment. The timing in that is almost as comical as the action: "RAWR! Tentacle-monster attack! Grabbing and devouring everyone in their way! Now one will spit up the shoe of a just eaten guy completely undamaged." This is like the time where the dragonsnake tried to eat R2-D2, then spat him out into the trees with how much of a reversal this looks like. Tense moments of crash-landing through bumpy fog into the swamp (planet), then Artoo falling in, followed by periscope up into the grab by the giant snake-thing following behind. R2-D2 was dirty, but otherwise perfectly fine. I'd thought this moment with the rathtars was completely ludicrous compared to the original and prequel movies until I remembered the dragonsnake scene.

And is it just me, or is Corey starting to think like Jim here? That's an awful lot of trust that the rathtar won't think "more food!" from smelling this single boot. And why would it want to eat a droid anyway? BB-8 should be the least in danger of consumption here anyway, being a metal ball. Sure he might lose his head for a bit, but there's no fleshy parts to be concerned about regrowing.
