Backstory 40: Back on the Chain; Whang!

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Getting another ship to leave is a good idea. And while I think diamictonic means muddy or mixed rocks, it’s not in any of the handy dictionaries I checked. No surprise that the geologist would throw in words like that.

Hey now, Chi’ra, I’d be nicer to the being that casually threw you a few meters in the air and was able to drag you along without any issues. Chewbacca’s the best part of this comic so far I think. Maybe because he isn’t meant to be non compos mentis like Chi’ra, Jim had to engage his brain again for Chewie’s lines. Definitely would need to break out the thesaurus for some of these lines at the very least.

I wonder who came first, Chewbacca the game character or Chewbacca the pet dog?

Transcript

Chi’ra: Stop! Where are you going?
Chewbacca: I am venturing to procure a ship, so that I may decamp from this diamictonic world.
Chi’ra: What about me? We’re chained together.
[SFX]: Yoink!
Chewbacca: I suppose you can dangle out the airlock.
Chi’ra: Oh come on! I got us out of there.
Chewbacca: I collapsed the roof. I threw us out of the pit.
Chi’ra: Right! So we’re friends now. My name’s Chi’ra.
Chewbacca: Isn’t that a girl’s name?
Jim: Ben!
Chewbacca: I mean, pleased to meet you. I am Chewbacca.
Chi’ra: Well, that sounds like a dog’s name...
