Backstory 49: Bond; Flames Bond

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Oh dear, a bonding scene. This is the part where we learn about Beckett and Val to get a connection before they end up getting killed tomorrow, isn’t it? That’d be a bit cliché, but with a good delivery, it could work pretty well.

I wonder why Chi’ra needs to get rich. Usually getting rich is a want unless there’s some problem hanging over one’s head that the money would solve. Possibly there as a way to buy out the Imperial enlistment after the desertion? If Lady Proxima shows up again, she likely won’t only want money, but revenge as well. Same goes for original Qi’ra.

And I’m pretty sure Chewie said nothing about letting Chi’ra screw up, only that it would be loathsome to let happen. Super-thesaurus-speak makes it difficult to tell however. Poor Chewbacca doesn’t know what disasters await him in the future by hanging out with Chi’ra.

Transcript

Jim: The night before the big heist, we had a bonding scene over a campfire.
Val: Our whole future depends on this one score and you bring in amateurs!
Beckett: In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re a little short-handed.
Val: You’re putting our lives in the hands of morons.
Beckett: You guys morons?
Chi’ra: No!
Chewbacca: Singular moron at best.
Chi’ra: Right! I need this money to get rich.
Chewbacca: A laudable ambition. I, personally, desire to reconnect with my kith and kin on Kashyyyk.
Chewbacca: Some funds would facilitate the pilgrimage. I am loath to let Chi’ra here mishandle the enterprise.
Chi’ra: See? He’s not gonna let me screw it up.
Val: Is that what he said?
