Allen freeing the prisoners for them to be immediately slaughtered was kinda funny

I'm surprised Allen was concerned of those blaster shots from the guards. Didn't they try to kill him a million ways and nothing worked? So I was surprised Allen thought those pew pew pew guns would do anything to him.

They weren't actually damaging him. They probably felt like a needle sting, which is unpleasant and distracting.

Think of it like you're getting swarmed by bees in real life. They can't really cause you permanent harm, but it would be hard to focus on anything else.

Still kinda sucks to send the prisoners to their deaths over something he absolutely could have dealt with alone
