And they’re not flying Millennium Falcon but actually driving Ford Ranger Raptor

Oh shit, who did I shoot!?

Hits, and it’s great.

Imagine taking millions of dollars for an acting job in a movie where you’re a man who travels with his dog, and you get on set and go “i don’t want to work with a dog” so they have to replace a real dog with cgi garbage

Except it turns out it was Ayahuasca, and then you realize that you still are a smuggler traveling through space (on planet earth) with your non-human friend all along.

This is a moronic take. Many people have watched Star Wars while sober and seen Chewbacca.

let the wookie win

I will never understand why they didn’t just use a real dog for this film.

It’s fine. Space doesnt automatically make everything better, and you can just make a human friend (im told; unconfirmed) whos really hairy and dpeaks a language nobody understands.

I recommend a really tall armenian dude; plenty around, super hairy, isolated language group, all the catch 22 jokes you want, and you wont have to put up with a white guy but also not a well developed local narrative for racism against them.
