I’ve had some fun playing around with characters at meet and greets before, but I was unprepared for how funny Star Wars cast members in HS were this time. Stormtroopers seem to have a set of stock phrases they can use, but they use them to great effect. The officers from the First Order who take RotR riders “prisoner” were also very deadpan funny while staying completely in character. Alas, I was a little too star struck/Star Wars fangirly to come up with any great comebacks this time. I will be better prepared next trip. Anyway, for your amusement, here are some of the best interactions.
RotR First Order interrogation officer, reading my nephew’s BB-8 shirt: “‘Rolling with the homies?’ Where are your homies now?”
RotR First Order officer to prisoner pushing buttons on the wall: “Do you know what those buttons do? NOTHING. Or maybe open the garbage chute directly under you.”
Stormtrooper stopping dead in his tracks and turning to DD9 (Disneybounding as Leia): “Be careful. Someone might question your loyalty.”
Stormtrooper to my sister, who was two-fisting drinks on the way from the bar to her table: “Slow down, citizen.”
Stormtrooper to my nephew (5) who was being a general nuisance: “Settle down!”
Stormtrooper to DD12 (Disneybounding as Rey): Looks at DD12, looks up at Rey mannequin directly above our table, looks at DD12, looks up at Rey mannquin, looks at DD12, “I’ll need to see your identification.”
