Backstory 65: When My Wookiee Smiles at Me

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Ah, good. I was worried that might have killed Rio. I mean, I’m still expecting him to bite the dust with the concrete mixer’s worth of foreshadowing Jim pointed out but we’re not there quite yet at least! Maybe if he lives through this heist, Rio’ll get to end up with a cyborg arm; that would be a much better reason than having it ripped out of its socket.

And this must be the part where we find out that Chewie is the better pilot between the two. Or at least, where we find out that Chi’ra sucks at flying. He’ll still likely make it work though; hijacking the airbikes would be the only other option off this train, and their riders would definitely object to the transfer of ownership.

Transcript

[SFX]: Pow! Pow! Pow!
Rio: Owww!!!
Beckett: Rio! You still with us, brother?
Rio: Yeah, I’m okay. Just nicked one of my shoulders. And I got four of them, so that’s 75% good.
Beckett: He’s not 75% good...
Jim: The AT-hauler dropped out of the sky and scraped to a rest on the train.
[SFX]: vvrrooaarr...
[SFX]: Crunch...
[SFX]: Scrape...
Chi’ra: Chewie! You gotta uncouple this one on your own!
Chewbacca: What are you doing?
Chi’ra: I’m gonna fly the hauler!
[SFX]: zeeow!
Chewbacca: You’ve never piloted a ship before.
Chi’ra: No, but I’ve pretended to be able to!
