Didn't we just say to throw weird stuff at your players?

Do not hold back.

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............... Ehehhehheh. Wow, okay! A trip to the Mirror Dimension was nowhere even close to being on my bingo card. Like, what even is this?? This is even crazier than the last page!!

I almost wondered if the last panel was flipped as well but the background towers helped out there. That also pointed out that the TIE fighters behind aren't mirrored with themselves. But the symmetry between the two Falcons is too close for me to just handwave it as another ship that happens to be of the same kind. I can only imagine how people watching the movie were wondering what the heck was going on as well. I don't think Interdictor ships ever really showed up in the movies, and they definitely didn't cause anomalies like this!

This feels like a much more exciting start to the movie than The Jedi List. Admittedly, we've barely scratched the surface and at this point we hadn't started the mess of the bombing run that colored my impressions of that beginning. But here, we've had three sorta separate plot threads appear that all seem interesting! There's Kylo's thing that we've bounced over to twice, the brief stop with Rey, and here we've got Chewie and crew's crazy chase. I can't wait to see where they end up with the next jump attempt.

Transcript

Poe: I hit the hyperdrive again!
Chewbacca: Are you insane?
Poe: Our course is still computed, right?
Chewbacca: Yes, but—
GM: The Falcon goes to lightspeed... and drops out again almost instantly.
[SFX]: vreeeeooooowww... vreeeeooooowww... {PIE fighters are still in pursuit}
GM: You’re in an industrial labyrinth of towers, silos, and interconnecting bridges.
GM: Above you, an identical ship mirrors your movements.
[SFX]: pow! pow! pow! {the fighters shoot at the Falcon}
Finn: Is that a sensor echo?
R2-D2: Or we got split into our good and evil parts!
Chewbacca: But which ones are we?
R2-D2: I’ll tell you after I figure out how to grow a goatee.
{Finn, Chewbacca, and R2-D2 are shown reflected vertically in panels mirroring the above, with vertically mirrored dialogue}
[SFX]: vreeeeooooowww... vreeeeooooowww... {PIE fighters are still in pursuit}
[SFX]: pow! pow! pow! {the fighters shoot at the Falcon}
