Did you hear that? They’ve shut down the main reactor. We’ll be destroyed for sure. This is madness! We’re doomed! There’ll be no escape for the Princess this time. What’s that? Artoo! Artoo-Detoo, where are you? At last! Where have you been? They’re heading in this direction.

Oh, he excels at that, sir. 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.

A person of some importance, sir — I believe. Our captain was attached to. Is there more to this recording? Behave yourself, Artoo. You’re going to get us in trouble.

Where’d she go? Bring her back! Play back the entire message. What message? The one you’re carrying inside your rusty innards! Luke? Luke! Come to dinner! All right, I’ll be right there, Aunt Beru. I’m sorry, sir, but he appears to have picked up a slight flutter. Well, see what you can do with him.
