Backstory 54: Train of Fuels

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

I don’t know why I expected anything else either. Energy sources sufficient to make a spaceship fly while being small enough to carry would need to be extremely explosive now that I think about it. And if that’s being mentioned here, I don’t think that bodes well for the survivability of this cargo.

And of course they need to check the cargo; it’s a heist tradition! And also because if it’s not done here before the job’s done, the cargo will end up being something else. Murphy loves playing tricks like that. A little odd that the train car opens from the top, but it does give us a nice visual of the three looking down.

Chewie looks rather silly with that pair of goggles on. Not nearly as stylish as the two humans anyway, even when they’re actually doing something here.

Transcript

Chi’ra: We should check the cargo is what we expect.
Beckett: Good idea, kid.
[SFX]: kch-bzzzt! {Beckett cracks the lock on the hatch}
Beckett: This criminal enterprise is already benefitting from your superior intellect, Chi’ra.
[SFX]: Bzzzt!
[SFX]: rumble rumble...
{they look inside the cargo car and see the cargo}
Chewbacca: That does indeed present the appearance of coaxium.
Chi’ra: Enough to power a fleet.
Beckett: Or blow us all sky high!
Chewbacca: It’s explosive?
Jim: Oh yeah, it’s highly unstable.
Chewbacca: I really don’t know why I expected anything less.
