STAR WARS

More Droid Lies

And then Luke's mournful and wistful moment in front of the nifty and beautiful double sunset of Tatooine.
Ahhh... it's allowable.
Such a simple effect, and yet, no one else did it before.
So, thanks, George.
Really.
Truly.
Thanks.

After that we see Luke use a remote to 'jolt' Threepio when he can't find the droid.
Weird.
Robot pain-stick?

When jolted, Threepio pops up from being hunched over the family speeder!
Hey, droid fuck - the hell?
You doin' creepy shit here in the dark?
Luke is awake enough to comment on this but is quickly distracted by Threepio's frantic theatrics about R2 running away.
R2 seems to know just where to go, eh?
I don't know when the goal becomes to nab Luke, but R2 acts as good bait and 3PO's a little too helpful for my paranoid tastes.

Once outside, Threepio tells Luke what a pain R2 is.
Threepio says "That R2 unit has always been a problem."
'Really? I thought you said he was in first-class condition and that you'd worked with him before?
Were you lying then or now, you goddam toaster?!'
That's what Luke should have said.
Instead, he questions how he could have been so stupid.
Not your fault, farm-boy - you were hypnotized by Darth Vader's robot.

Threepio actually tries to get Luke to go out into the night, following after the little droid.
..."shouldn't we... go after him...?"
What? What'd you say?
...fucking robot...
Luke knows better than to go out at night, what with the Sand People around.
Say Luke, do other families have this much hassle with Sand People?
I mean, are they holding a grudge against your family?
Or what?
