Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Oooh, a glowy orb on the electrotripper. Never mind the last commentary, I think this is almost cooler than a bowcaster. Maybe.
Aww. Rio didn’t even make it to the attack with the guard droids. That’s too bad. I mean, Jim was really layering the foreshadowing on, but it’s still disappointing he just slowly dies after getting shot.
Beckett did say not to trust him, so Rio’s just restating that. Chi’ra probably could use the reminder though. Lots of reminders.
And really Jim? I know you’ve had the GM’s characters almost always die when you’re running things, but this is just rubbing it in.
Transcript
Jim: They fought! Nest electroripped one of Beckett’s pistols!
[SFX]: Rip!
[SFX]: Bam!
Jim: Nest knocked Beckett clean over to the next train car! Chewie looked up from the coupling to see him fly overhead.
[SFX]: whooosh
Jim: Nest began cutting the cables linking the car to the AT-hauler.
[SFX]: kzzzt!
Rio: Those cables are the only thing keeping you flying straight, kid.
Chi’ra: Rio? Stay with me, buddy.
Rio: I can’t lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.
Rio: Don’t... trust... Be—
Rio: Unhhh... {dies}
Val: Nicely played. That was moving.
Jim: Yeah, you should die more often!
GM: I die a little every time one of my adventure plans meets you guys.
