Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
9.6 seconds to the bridge? Or 9.6 minutes? Minutes aren’t usually stated in tenths, so that’s a rather odd phrase to use. So far so good though.
Ah, here’s another good reason to have the external catwalk. Probably the sole reason to have it as well. Pulling a reverse Qui-gon would look nowhere near as cool from that kind of boarding mechanism. And another good way to show how Chewbacca is much more physically in shape than movie-Han is.
