Backstory 26: Five-Year Enlistment

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

And continuing on with Alberto’s Benito’s Chi’ra’s attempts to leave the planet, now there’s no ticket. It’s a shame there’s no way we’ll get a shoutout to that scene. None of the Star Wars ships have ever had windows that people could open after all.

A little odd that the recruitment booth is on the other side of the emigration gate that presumably needs a ticket to go through normally. I wonder how many recruits they can actually get that way. Maybe there’s a separate option to get through the gate if you know about the recruitment to begin with.

Transcript

Jim: I was through emigration, but I still didn’t have a ticket to get offworld. I needed a new plan.
Jim: I grabbed someone’s cloak and stole a hat off a kid to disguise myself.
Ben: Did you steal the kid’s identity?
Jim: No, that’d be silly. I sat and took stock of the situation.
Jim: Then I heard a voice over a PA system.
GM: That’s me again, right?
Jim: Here’s the line.
PA Voice: Be a part of something. Join the Empire.
PA Voice: Explore strange new worlds. Learn valuable skills.
PA Voice: Boldly go and bring order and unity to the Galaxy!
Jim: It was a recruitment booth for Imperial soldiers.
PA Voice: Seek out new life and new civilisations, and teach them who’s boss!
