Hal, I’m sure there will be 15 books published in the next 10 years about Poe and Keri Russell having a fling while running spice. The EU never disappoints 😉
I’m thinking something like this:
ZORII: Babu? Babu only works with the crew.
That’s not you anymore.REY: What crew?
ZORII: Oh, funny he never mentioned it. Your friend’s old job was running spice, “until we learned he was a spy for” (The Resistance) [pulled from a few lines down]
FINN: You were a spice runner?
POE: You were a stormtrooper?
REY: Were you a spice runner?
POE: Were you a scavenger? We could do this all night.ZORII:
You don’t have all night.You know, I’m still digging out of the hole you put me inwhen you left to join the Resistance. You. You’re the one they’re looking for. Bounty for her just might cover us.(We can play around with it, Jar Jar; but I’m not sure how well it will fit if he was just playing a part. And personally, I think this particular banter feels a little awkward anyway. Unlike the rest of the script, which sounds like it was written by Aaron Sorkin.)
I filmed a video showing that very scene yesterday. 👍🏼
Dude, really? Ha! Just please don’t burn yourself out on this movie!
I guess the lines could still work in context, I just…I don’t know. I’m wondering if, given that we still don’t know Chewie is alive, and he only just died, it may be too soon for quips. Literally 10 seconds ago, these characters were mourning the death of a Star Wars icon. Now they’re cracking jokes in the middle of an occupation zone.
I almost feel like they have enough banter during the rest of the film. Can’t they take a scene to be serious for once? Chewie is dead! This isn’t a game anymore.
