Author	Topic: 3PO Storytelling to Ewoks
BigBoy29 Registered: Dec '04	Date Posted: 9/8 11:05pm Subject: 3PO Storytelling to Ewoks
	During the storytelling session with the Ewoks, does 3PO mimic or did he record all the sound effects he uses to tell his story of our heroes. The Vader breathing, the engines of spacecraft, etc. So is it "mimiced" or does he keep recordings of every single thing he hears? Also, anyone remember the laundry list of effects he utilizes in the story? -----signature----- Lando: "She saved me at the Battle of Tannabe". Han: "Hey remember, I won her fair and square." Lando: "She was mine before she was yours, she was mine before she was yours ..."

	Hmm... TIEs, X-Wings, AT-ATs, the carbon-freezing chamber, Vader's breathing. I can't really think of any others. Although how 3PO knows what an AT-AT sounds like, IDK. -----signature----- Only a Prime can defeat Vader and his Emperor.

	That sort of thing could be hardwired into his programming, or perhaps he was just mimicking it. I don't know if there's a definitive answer. -----signature----- Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Episode_I_-_The_Chosen_One Production blog: http://alternativesaga.wordpress.com/

	Eh, to me the HOW isn't as important as the irony of Threepio saying he's no storyteller in ANH- then turning around and telling their story so well, he keeps an entire VILLAGE enthralled in ROTJ. The ONE time Threepio's MODEST- and he's so hilariously WRONG. -----signature----- "If you know you're going to make an idiot out of yourself in public, you might as well have FUN with it!"- me, on my philosophy on life

	How the hell do you translate terms like "carbon freezing chamber" to the language of stone age teddy bears?

I think it translated as "Lando scrubbed Darth Vader's back in the hot tub". (Picture big hamster faces "Ooooooohhh, Aaaaaaahhh") C-3PO was one hell of a story teller. -----signature----- Hey, what are you trying to pull here... (CLICK) pull here... (CLICK) pull here...

	Look, maybe we will never get the Ewok translation - maybe 3PO embellished the story, dumbed it down, etc ... But the question remains unanswered - did he record every single freakin' thing he heard? Or did he mimic sound effects the best he could? -----signature----- Lando: "She saved me at the Battle of Tannabe". Han: "Hey remember, I won her fair and square."

All the characters from ANH become what they weren't by the time of RoTJ Threepio becomes a story teller Luke goes from farmboy to Jedi Knight Han goes from lone wolf smuggler to team player Leia goes from orphaned diplomat to love bird with a brother Darth Vader goes from villain to hero Old Ben goes from failure to redemption -----signature----- What I posted was true......from a certain point of view.

	Wasn't R2 the Foley Artist for most of the sound effects? Other then Darth Vader and 3P0 saying 'toronto gosh!', for the AT-AT's, R2 did the sound for that story. Maybe I'm wrong.

C-3PO has either "DAT tape" capabilities that allows him to memorize and replay accurately everything he hears. or C-3PO is similar to a Human Beat Box (like the Fat Boys, Doug E. Fresh) that can emulate sounds. -----signature----- Lando: "She saved me at the Battle of Tannabe". Han: "Hey remember, I won her fair and square."

	Of all the sounds C3PO produces during 'storytime', did he encounter their sources during his adventures? In other words, does he produce a sound for an object he never met or heard? If so, he'd been originally programmed to produce these effects; why.. who knows? Maybe he has a smokin' chess program tucked in there as well.

	All the effects seem like they are recordings. But that does not rule out the possibility that 3PO is doing a Beat Box mimic. The AT-AT sound (that he never really heard) lends support that he in fact emulates sounds - and does a great job. I really am hoping some protocol droid experts can solve this question. -----signature----- Lando: "She saved me at the Battle of Tannabe". Han: "Hey remember, I won her fair and square."

	Turn on your Tv's closed caption or the subtitles.They do a pretty good job of how he worded it,but sometimes the captions are incorrect and incomplete. But Its pretty cool to read what hes saying when he says it.
