From a review of the new StarWars DVD set:
Something was nagging me. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but then it dawned on me. Threepio, with his constant negativity and bitching, was starting to sound like John Kerry.
A whole lot like John Kerry.
I'm not kidding...check this out and see if this doesn't sound familar:
From Star Wars: A New Hope
Assorted comments from C3P0:
We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness!
We're doomed!
Secret mission? What plans? What are you talking about? I'm not getting in there!
Are you sure this things safe?
How did I get into this mess? I really don't know how.
No more adventures. I'm not going that way.
That malfunctioning little twerp. This is all his fault! He tricked me into going this way, but he'll do no better.
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.
I told him not to go, but he's faulty, malfunctioning; kept babbling on about his mission.
Empire Strikes Back:
C3P0: Captain Solo, this time you have gone too far.
Chewie growls
C3P0: No, I will not be quiet, Chewbacca. Why doesn't anyone listento me?
HAN: (to Chewie) The fleet is beginning to break up. Go back and standby the manual release for the landing claw.
Chewie barks, struggles from his seat, and climbs out of the cabin.
C3PO: I really don't see how thats going to help. Surrender is aperfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances. The Empiremay be gracious enough...
Leia reaches over and shuts off Threepio, mid-sentence.
HAN: Thank you.
