OOC:
since Mal has force leap as well, he would be doing the same thing. if the kid can't intimidate the crazies, mal will start swinging as he and Uril stand back to back.
All I can say to this is FUCK YEAH!
This hits on so many levels! First is the amazing cinematic shot of us running together, Urik putting on a burst of speed and Mal matching it, then Urik leaping into the crowd with Mal a half second behind, followed by the wild chaotic close shots of them disrupting the group, Urik's ultimatum and an automatic back-to-back stance, lightsabers glowing bright.
Second is how this hits on one of the most unsung (and perhaps my favorite) Star Wars trope: "Everyone cares about eachother way more than is reasonable." The last time Mal and Urik interacted Urik was the crazy kid trying to cut apart a captive, then flying into an impotent rage when stopped. Now, they stand back to back, ready to die for eachother!
Anyway, that one got me. I'm way attached to Urik as a character, and was super excited to bring him back. Seeing his comrades have his back, when he has no right or reason to expect them to is amazing!
