Episode 2562: Diceappearing Trick

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

People think of taunting as a thing that the villains do. But there's nothing like a good-guy taunt to really rile the villain up!

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Taunting the enemy while running away, classic move. Especially when you're sure that they can't catch up! It's probably not what Rey is actually looking at in the movie, but it's still very amusing as a possibility.

Force Disintegrate on the dice? Really? They seem like they're fading out blue like Yoda did. Which, to be fair, is what Force Transcend is meant to be in the comic, but why would the movie have the dice do this? And if they were just part of the projection, assuming Luke was Force Astral Projecting, how did they last up until this point?

For the comic though, it's obvious that there's something else important about the dice. Annie doesn't seem the type to just have it left behind for suddenly roleplaying forgetfulness. The GM certainly didn't think that would have happened. If that was meant to be an important trinket like the Japor Snippet, destroying/transcending them could have some interesting consequences.

Transcript

GM: ... Except for a golden glint on the floor.
Kylo Ren: I kneel down to examine it.
Rey: Can I make a Force phone call to Kylo?
GM: You’re just on the other side of the mountain, so sure.
Rey: Hey, Kylo! Let me tell you our plan. Escape while you’re throwing a tantrum in the bunker.
Rey: Guess what? Total success! Byeee!
GM: In your hand lie Han’s dice.
Leia: I try to Force Teleport the dice back to me.
Kylo Ren: You’re out of luck! I Force Disintegrate the foul things!!
