What? Yahoo! Look out! You’re all clear, kid. Now let’s blow this thing and go home! Stand by to fire at Rebel base. Standing by. Great shot, kid. That was one in a million. Remember, the Force will be with you…always.

Uh, I’m quite sure you’ll be very pleased with that one, sir. He really is in first-class condition. I’ve worked with him before. Here he comes. Okay, let’s go. Now, don’t you forget this! Why I should stick my neck out for you is quite beyond my capacity! Thank the maker! This oil bath is going to feel so good. I’ve got such a bad case of dust contamination, I can barely move! It just isn’t fair. Oh, Biggs is right. I’m never gonna get out of here! Is there anything I might do to help? Well, not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock! I don’t think so, sir. I’m only a droid and not very knowledgeable about such things. Not on this planet, anyways. As a matter of fact, I’m not even sure which planet I’m on.

Here is a gist!

I can’t abide these Jawas. Disgusting creatures. Go on, go on. I can’t understand how we got by those troopers. I thought we were dead. The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded. You will find it a powerful ally. Do you really think we’re going to find a pilot here that’ll take us to Alderaan? Well, most of the best freighter pilots can be found here. Only watch your step. This place can be a little rough. I’m ready for anything. Come along, Artoo.

Luke? Luke? Luke? Have you seen Luke this morning? He said he had some things to do before he started today, so he left early. Uh? Did he take those two new droids with him? I think so. Well, he’d better have those units in the south range repaired be midday or there’ll be hell to pay! Wait, there’s something dead ahead on the scanner. It looks like our droid…hit the accelerator.

How long before you can make the jump to light speed? It’ll take a few moments to get the coordinates from the navi-computer. Are you kidding? At the rate they’re gaining… Traveling through hyperspace isn’t like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that’d end your trip real quick, wouldn’t it? What’s that flashing? We’re losing our deflector shield. Go strap yourself in, I’m going to make the jump to light speed.
