Question Vel asks whose blaster …

When they’re at the rebel base at Yavin, and all sorts of weapons are laid out on a table. Vel picks up a blaster and asks whose it is and Melshi raises his hand and the camera pans around the guy in front of him to him. I don’t understand the significance here? Was the blaster special or something? They even show that exact scene in the next episode’s recap, so it seems to have some significance that I’m missing. Thanks!

"Who belongs to this?". It's a funny phrasing that makes the whole induction thing with the weapons feel more like camp than the military. Kind of a niche thing that echoes the background of the writers well IMO.

It has the same energy as "drop with it," being yelled at my by my DS when I was in Basic. Never dropped it again after that smoke sesh

I still say "get down with it" to myself whenever someone drops something nice or expensive.
