Backstory 35: Trust Fall Guy

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Well, that was quick lesson. Chi’ra might not be with that squad any longer, but things went sideways for him faster than I expected. Realistically, I don’t think there was much that Chi’ra could have done to stop this. Blackmail would take a lot more work than simply talking to Beckett, who’s likely running an operation that works on “don’t come to us, we’ll come to you” principles.

So where’s he gonna end up? Simply shot outside camp? Jailed to be dealt with later? With the many scene changes so far, I don’t think I’ve got a good chance of guessing this.

And hey! That last panel there has what looks like the first proper stormtrooper helmet shape after this last scene transition. Planet Mimban must be the mud planet if that’s the current coloration.

Transcript

Beckett: First thing you need to learn, kid, is don’t trust anybody.
Chi’ra: Okay. Taken on board.
Beckett: Don’t trust me. I’ll betray you as soon as look at you.
Chi’ra: Got it.
Beckett: Lieutenant! We’ve apprehended a deserter!
Lieutenant Bolandin: What? Chi’ra? He’s such a model soldier. I can scarcely believe it.
Beckett: Oh, it may be unbelievable, but you should believe it. Believe me.
Lieutenant Bolandin: Take him away!
Chi’ra: Hey! I trusted you!
Beckett: What did I just tell you?
