Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Ah, Beckett and crew managed to steal a ship already. That handily explains why they’d abandon Chi’ra to “the monster” and just leave. And possibly Han as well if the comic is close to the movie in this case. Seriously, it’s a little difficult to tell how the conversation would have gone given that movie-Chewie doesn’t speak English, and Wookiee likely isn’t that common a language.
Man, this is lining up so well with Chewbacca getting to turn the tables on comic-Han Solo. I wonder if one or more of the writers of the movie reads this comic and had some small hope that it’d make for excellent Ben-as-Chewbacca material.
