So you seem to think that just sitting around waiting to be shot is the best course of action to take. This may just be a simulation, but you would be surprised at what it says about someone's character.

[ Really. Even if he didn't win a prize (which is doubtful to begin with), the very idea of waiting to lose just chafes Hux so. At the end of the day people will talk and he knows what he'd rather people said about this whole event. It didn't involve getting shot for starters.

Hux pointedly pulls the safety back with a click, his own surprise now buried deep.]

And unlike them, I don't have an army at my back at this moment in time. For someone claiming to be a Skywalker, you seem very full of yourself.
