Intermission strip 1: An alternative look at how Finn and Poe meet.
In a roleplaying adventure, traps are just better if they're gratuitous.
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Looks like a...... condensed Episode 1877 and 1878. While I like the IV callback with a twist, I do think that finishing the rhyme works much better as a joke.
Hmm. Perhaps in this version Poe never was brainwashed, only interrogated? That never came up again if I remember correctly as Poe died. That'd also mean that brainwashing wasn't in the movie at all. Just an oddly intense Force Interrogation.
Transcript
GM: Some time passes. Annie, you’re up.
Finn: I stride into the interrogation chamber.
GM: Another trooper is guarding Poe.
Finn: Ren wants the prisoner.
Trooper: Oh, good. I was getting bored. He’s not much for conversation.
Poe: Aren’t you a little short for a trooper?
Finn: Huh? I am a trooper! I’m regulation height.
Poe: Sorry, hard to tell from here.
Finn: I’m Finn. I’m here to pretend to defect to the Resistance.
Poe: And... rescue me?
Finn: And rescue you!
Poe: All right! To the gratuitous trap sector!
