Act 23, in which Hobbie goes gah gah
Article by Queen of the Universe
94. EXT. SPACE. INT. NOT SPACE
The fighter races past the Corellian pirateship, someone needs to call the cops.
95. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT. SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT
OSIRIS
It sure is leaving in a big hurry, how come it's faster than us again? I thought you said we were fast because, ya'know, if they identify us we're in big trouble with... someone I guess.
HOBBIE
Trouble, mwahahaha, not if I can help it, I laugh in the face of trouble. Kyppy...jam it's transmissions with the mega super jammer!!!111111!1eleventyone!
MA-JIN
It'd be as well to let it go. It's too far out of range, despite the fact we're supposed to be the fastest thing around and have shooty guns which - one would hope- fire even faster than we fly....
HOBBIE
Not for long... *is not listening and currently exists in his own world of space-jock fun*
96. EXT. SPACE. INT. LORD OF THE RINGS ON TV
The pirateship zooms over the camera, though that's a silly place for a speed trap, and away into the vastness of space after the Imperial fighter. Zoom!
97. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT. EXT. OH LOOK, IT'S FULL OF STARS
The tension mounts as the pirateship gains on the tiny fighter, showing just how super fast it can be under pressure and plotholes. In the distance, one of the stars becomes brighter until it is obvious that the Imperial ship is heading for it- that, and the flashing sign saying 'land here' helps. Ma-Jin stands behind KypDbacca, so you can't actually see him anymore.
MA-JIN
A fighter that size couldn't get this deep into space on its own, maybe some sort of catapult....
OSIRIS
It must have gotten lost, I bet he doesn't have the latest sat nav, must be relying on one of the old A-Z models... or he was part of a convoy or something.
HOBBIE
Well, he ain't going to be around long enough to tell anyone about us, despite the fact we aren't doing anything illegal yet, so that really doesn't make sense. I'm getting confused, Kyppy, where's my blanky? Hobbie needs his blanky!
