That's totally something a hero character would say!

Cady re-ignites her lightsaber and the pink glowing blade springs up in front of her face as she holds it horizontally, poised to strike toward the blast doors as she grits her teeth.
(She's mostly nervous because it's so close to her face.)
She can't help glancing at Jax to see if he's appreciating her battle pose but when she does his expression changes and he shouts "Look out!"
A panel next to the doorframe explodes and Cady squeaks in surprise as the blast doors bang open and smoke roils into the room, obscuring everything, and then a hail of glowing streaks fly out of the smoke in all directions. Jax's lightsaber blade twirls back and forth in a fan-shaped blur, knocking the blaster bolts away. One flies past Cady close enough to heat the skin on her shoulder.
<span class="mu-i">
Aaaah! They're really shooting at us with blasters!

(The scene changes to an image of Harrison Ford crouched behind a corner as he aims a modified vintage pistol at an unseen enemy.)

A blaster is a type of firearm that shoots superheated clouds of gas called "bolts" with enough force to destroy metal. Jedi are supposed to be able to use their lightsabers to deflect blaster bolts, but... aaah! Now isn't the time for this!
</span>
Cady opens her eyes and Jax glances through the encroaching smoke and gives a silent nod as he raises his own lightsaber.
(She's too nervous to speak anyway.)
The second round of blaster fire cuts holes in the smoke and then three familiar shapes appear bobbing up and down in front of the haze.
<span class="mu-i">
Are those nametags?
</span>
"Over there!" Cady shouts at Jax before she realizes what she's doing and the smoke lights up with glowing points all aiming toward the sound of her voice.
Panic makes her fling her lightsaber around and terror keeps her hands tightly gripped around the hilt. Every time she peeks open one eye, the sparks and flashes along her lightsaber blade make her squeeze her eyes closed again. She swings the blade back and forth wildly, too terrified to do anything else.
<span class="mu-i">
This is definitely a death flag!
