It’s a delightful moment, but short-lived; as the Imperial guards raise their guns, Riose reminds them “nobody’s making it off this ship alive.” Everybody hustles off to handle their final business, and Riose tells Hober and Constant there is a way that one of them can escape. He leads them to a small pod, and Hober and Constant argue (each saying the other should take it), but eventually Hober convinces Constant—who jokes that her secret first name is “Hope;” guess we’ll never learn what it really is?—to take it. As she flies away through space, the men go off to drink Hober’s prized bottle of wine. They share a bonding moment at the end of their lives—“Here’s to those who fight and ask why,” is Riose’s toast—but the serious moment takes a turn for the silly when they sip the precious liquid… only to realize it tastes terrible. They chuckle and clink glasses as the ship evaporates.
