 August 6, 2016 - 5:29am | LUKE: What are you doing hiding there? Threepio stumbles forward, but Artoo is still nowhere in
sight. THREEPIO: It wasn't my fault, sir. Please don't
deactivate me. I told him not to go,
but he's faulty, malfunctioning;
kept babbling on about his mission. LUKE
Oh, no! Luke races out of the garage followed by Threepio. EXT. TATOOINE - LARS HOMESTEAD
Luke rushes out of the small doomed entry to the homestead
and searches the darkening horizon for the small triped astro-
robot. Threepio struggles out of the homestead and on the
salt flat as Luke scans the landscape with his
electrobinoculars. THREEPIO: That R2 unit has always been a
problem. These astro-droids are
getting quite out of hand. Even I
can't understand their logic at times. LUKE: How could I be so stupid? He's nowhere
in sight. Blast it! THREEPIO: Pardon me, sir, but couldn't we go
after him?
LUKE
It's too dangerous with all the
Sandpeople around. We'll have to
wait until morning. Owen yells up from the homestead plaza. OWEN: Luke, I'm shutting the power down
for the night.
LUKE
All right, I'll be there in a few
minutes. Boy, am I gonna get it. He takes one final look across the dim horizon. LUKE
You know that little droid is going
to cause me a lot of trouble. THREEPIO
Oh, he excels at that, sir.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
August 6, 2016 - 5:35am | Talk about throwing a buddy under the bus! C3PO just hours earlier gave a glowing recommendation for R2 when the other droid was revealed to have a bad motivator. I searched for the video clip but could not locate it. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
August 6, 2016 - 5:40am | Has anyone ever pondered the C3PO line "Thank the Maker" which implies an almost theistic thought process on the part of droids. Whether it was a theme that Lucas included and just never got back around to is possible. The only other connection to droids & Deity is when C3PO "impersonates" one in episode 6. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 August 6, 2016 - 9:32am | Ah since we find out C3PO's maker is Anakin/Darth when it says Thank the Maker is it really saying Thank you Darth Vader for creating me? Or just another massive hole in the Star Wars plot lines. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
 August 6, 2016 - 10:05am | On a separate note, Luke started off as a whiny adult:"I Was Going to Toshi Station to Pick Up Some Power Converters..."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X66jntR0MVE

August 6, 2016 - 11:26am | Could in it be a genetic trait in the Skywalker family that as kids they are annoying? Or is anoying an identification marker for strong affinity for the force? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Only for those jedi that started their training when they were too old... |
