6/7/2023 0 Comments Troy denning star warsTell them everything you told me-and anything else you can remember.”- it seems so absurdly out of character yet in keeping with the plot, it is almost as if there was a short story where Artoo’s beeps and boops are translated into the shocking expletive-ridden tirades that they are no doubt meant to be. Still, it is amusing to hear Chewie say things like “ When building security arrives, they’ll keep you safe until Han catches up with a military detail. This is the point, I suppose – rendering Chewbacca as an ordinary (albeit hirsute) guy with a minor family problem to resolve as opposed to just Bigfoot with a welding torch. To be fair, aside from the barrage of made-up SF terms that Denning bombards the reader with in the opening paragraph, Chewie comes across as your typical honour-driven character, a bit like a Klingon or a Narn. I’m not quite sure whether I was entirely prepared for a novella where Chewbacca’s utterances are rendered as anything other than “Rrrooowwrr”, but is quite a refreshing conceit for a shortish story.
