    In answer to your question on the comics page, keybounce, this is the point in the movie where people suddenly forget about things like guns, cover, range increments and such so as to go whack at each other in melee for...no real reason. This movie at least has the novelty of not using lightsabers for this scene.

    They did it because they had named Bria as one of Jim's characters that had died back before RO was a thing. Ditto with Kyle Katarn. Both of them are Legends characters that were not from the movies.

    Thanks. I remembered the mention of Kyle Katarn in the D&D version of episodes IV and V, but not Bria.

    Kyle was mentioned more than Bria to be sure. Kyle was a guy with a laser sword and a question.

    I'm pretty sure Jyn Erso is named after Jan Ors, myself.

    I'm surprised by how short the encouter with Krennic was. I expected a few pages of flashbacks and revelations.

    Okay, I think this discussion will need to be in spoilers, but what guesses do people have for who takes which character in the sequel trilogy?

    I think Ben will continue to play the Wookiee.
    Pete will be Rey.
    I assume that Jim will be playing Han, but, well, Han dies. No idea who he will take over. Maybe he takes over Rose.
    If Jim takes over Rose, then Annie will probably be Finn.
    Corey will be Po.
    And Sally will be BB-8 and C3-P0 when he shows up. Okay, maybe switch Sally and Pete.

    Well, Pete was growing increasingly obsessed about the immortality offered by the Japor Snippet in Vader's helmet. Since R2 doesn't do much of anything in TFA aside from dispense a pointless plot coupon, seems reasonable that he'd play the guy obsessed with Vader to the point of reclaiming her helmet.

    Oh, yeah. That actually makes a lot of sense. I'm sold on Pete being Kylo Ren now.

    The only problem is that it means the party will be split for most of the entire story. I mean, that's not that much of a problem, because that's happened before...


    Re: this scene in the most recent strip.

    I, too, was expecting it to stretch out for several pages and have loads of flashbacks.

    I also wondered how they would resolve Cassian's pacifism with this scene. Turns out that they made him get over it. From the beginning, I thought his pacifism was a little weird but...I guess it makes sense and it made for some interesting character development. It was an interesting twist to differentiate this comic from the movie, so that's also a good thing.

    (However, I'm glad this page didn't stretch out due to flashbacks, because I'm excited for an upcoming scene in which

    My guesses, in order of confidence, are:
    Annie: Child soldier who has a crisis of conscience is definitely something I could see her doing. I agree she'll play Finn.
    Jim: He'll keep playing Han until he dies. Then he'll switch to Rose's sister for the opening battle, then to Rose.
    Pete: He'll definitely switch from R2-D2. I was going to agree he'll play Rey, but the helmet-obsessed Kylo Ren makes a lot of sense. Maybe he'll play both, like Annie played Leia and Vader?
    Sally: Probably BB-8, agreed.
    Corey: Yeah, Poe.
    Ben: I honestly have no idea. Chewie ends up doing and appearing very little. Maybe he'll have something to keep him away from the game?

    The problem I have with Pete playing Rey is that there's a lot of characterization to get through, which is incompatible with how Pete plays the game. I think Rey pretty much has to be played by either Ben or Annie (or comedically badly by Jim) for this reason. Pete as R2-D2 works as well as it does because R2-D2 doesn't really have character as such - he's just the "plucky droid that could".

    Kylo Ren might work, because he isn't around all that much in Force Awakens, especially early on. That gives Pete time to actually learn how to roleplay in time for the end of the movie and Last Jedi.

    I think either him or Sally will be BB-8. Pete as BB-8 taking min-maxing to ridiculous extremes would be pretty great, Sally doing so to play the cute droid character similarly fits.

    One thing I'm sure of - if/when they get to Solo, Sally will be L3-37. Or rather, she already is, because L3-37 was Sally's C3PO through-and-through.

    I liked that we got a Star Wars movie that was mostly about people who weren't Force-users. Jyn and most of the rest of the cast were ordinary people with no magic. Getting Darth Vader at the end to suddenly kill most of the rebel fighters ruined that, and it felt like the writers just wanted to remind us that no matter how cool Jyn and Cassian were, a Force-user is always going to be "more badass" than a non-Force-user.

    Unless I missed it, I think there's still a large scene from the very beginning of the movie that hasn't made it into the comic yet?
    Specifically,

    the entire scene with Jyn as a child

    Today's annotation reminds me of Sahara (the incredibly campy action movie). There is a scene where the main characters are being chased by various military goons and they defend themselves with a flare gun.
