Chapter 352 | The Bloopers (3)



As the days passed, the scenes got only more interesting to watch while shooting. The bloopers made things even more interesting and kept everyone entertained.

But although Ian wanted things to run smoothly, some things just couldn’t.

-

The Death Star loomed above the Rebel Alliance, its menacing presence casting a shadow of fear across the galaxy. Inside the Millennium Falcon's cockpit, Han Solo and Chewbacca prepared for their daring escape.

"Chewie, punch it!" Han Solo smirked and said.

With a roar, the Millennium Falcon shot forward, hurtling through space. The crew braced themselves as the ship jolted and rattled under the relentless pursuit of TIE Fighters.

Amidst the chaos, Harrison Ford, portraying Han Solo, couldn't help but let out a spontaneous chuckle. His laugh, genuine and infectious, filled the cockpit.

"Sorry about that! Just got a little carried away." Harrison continued to laugh.

Chewbacca joined in the laughter, his deep growls resonating with amusement. The crew, momentarily caught off guard, couldn't contain their own laughter, their shared mirth echoing through the confined space of the Millennium Falcon.

“Aha! What was that, ayo!” Niko laughed while looking around to meet eyes with everyone.

Ian silently shook his head.

Raelynn too, had her hand covering her lips as she laughed silently.

“Let’s go again, everyone!” Ian said when things calmed down. The cast nodded while looking his way, and everyone got back to their work.

The Unscripted Banter

The Millennium Falcon soared through space, and its crew of misfits united in their mission to defeat the Empire. Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, had become an unlikely family of heroes.

Inside the Falcon's cockpit, Han Solo and Chewbacca focused on piloting the ship through the treacherous asteroid field. The tension was palpable as asteroids whizzed by, threatening to collide with the Falcon at any moment.

"Never tell me the odds!" Han Solo said while grinning ear to ear.

His signature line echoed through the cockpit, a testament to his unyielding confidence and resilience.

"Han, be careful! We can't afford to crash!" Luke said while sweating and looking extremely worried.

"Don't worry, kid. I've got this under control."

Just as the crew began to breathe a collective sigh of relief, disaster struck. A massive asteroid careened toward the Falcon, its jagged surface menacingly close.

Chewbacca growled anxiously.

"Oh, come on! Just a small asteroid, Chewie. Nothing we can't handle." Han Solo feigned surprise at what just happened.

The asteroid grazed the Falcon's hull, sending tremors through the ship. Inside the cockpit, Chewbacca accidentally knocked over a control panel in the chaos. Buttons beeped, and lights flickered as the panel malfunctioned.

Harrison Ford, quick on his feet, quipped, "Never tell me the electricians!"

His ad-libbed line caught everyone off guard, transforming the tension into a fit of laughter.

The crew, including Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia and Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, couldn't help but join in, their laughter filling the cockpit.

Amidst the laughter, the ship's systems gradually stabilised. The crew regained their composure, wiping away tears of mirth.

"Well, Han, it seems your electrician skills need some work,” Carrie smirked and added playfully.

"Hey, I'm a smuggler, not an engineer!"

The banter continued the lighthearted moment, strengthening the bond between the characters.

Ian looked at what was happening from afar. He saw how Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford were bonding.

‘Sometimes regardless of where we are, when things we know come together, it just seems right,’  he thought to himself as he halted his thoughts briefly as the banters continued.

….

Thus, another blooper.

The Rebel Alliance had launched a daring attack on the Death Star, hoping to strike a decisive blow against the Empire. X-wing starfighters soared through space, engaging in an intense battle against the Imperial forces.

Inside the Millennium Falcon, the tension was palpable as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca navigated through the treacherous trench in an attempt to deliver the final blow to the planet-sized weapon.

"We're almost there, kid. Keep your focus!" Han’s determined voice came through.

"I won't let you down, Han,” Luke was focused.

As the cameras rolled, capturing the intensity of the scene, a sudden noise filled the cockpit. A loud clattering sound echoed through the set, drawing the attention of the cast and crew.

"What was that? Did Chewie bring his own percussion section?" Harrison couldn’t help but laugh loudly as they all wondered what just happened.

"Seems like the Falcon has a few loose screws, Han!"

Mark said while laughing.

Their unexpected banter caught the crew off guard, causing a ripple of laughter to spread through the set. The shared amusement reverberated through the confined space of the Millennium Falcon, momentarily breaking the seriousness of the moment.

Chewbacca imitated clattering noises.

The actor portraying the lovable Wookiee, couldn't resist joining in the laughter, his deep growls resonating with amusement. The crew members, unable to contain their mirth, exchanged knowing glances and joined the chorus of laughter that enveloped the cockpit.

"Alright, let's reset that control panel and go again!" Ian’s voice came through.

After a brief pause to reset the control panel, the cameras resumed rolling. Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, their laughter still echoing in the air, effortlessly slipped back into character.

"All right, Chewie, let's show 'em what the Falcon can do!" Han said with a smirk while Chewbacca growled in agreement.

…. The day ended with Ian having the shots of his dreams taken.

He sighed as he got comfortable in the chair when suddenly Niko emerged out of the blue.

“I thought you were home, Niko. What are you doing here?” he asked while looking at Niko.

“Uh, there’s someone here to meet you,”  Niko said while handing over the bottle of water that was in his hand.

The way Niko said it made Ian frown at him.

“Who is it?” Ian asked as he stood up from his chair. Niko chuckled and looked behind.

Ian saw who it was from over Niko’s shoulder. The man who walked inside made Ian smile.
