What R2D2 really says.

Whew. Been a while... I've been trying my best to stay spoiler free since early last year, but that means that I just can't be on the boards at all, the temptation is too much! But alas, I have returned, for how long? Who knows. But I got a fun game thats probably been done already!

On the Humor section of TF.N there was in a Top Ten (now 46) "What R2 really says" I always liked this one,but it had no real connection to the films, so I thought it would be good to "translate" some popular scenes with dialog from the good 'ol Artoo. The scene must be properly formed, mistakes are allowed for those reciting from memory, and make it generally funny... As always, OP starts...


Threepio: "I only mentioned that it was cold in the Princess'quarters..."
Artoo:"So I turned the heat up... What?"
Threepio: "It's SUPPOSED to be cold. How are we ever going to dry out all those clothes?"
Artoo:"Mmmmm Leia in wet silk"
Threepio: "Oh switch off!"



Please excuse me. I'm currently at work and very, VERY, bored.

 

LOL! Yeah I see some potential for this thread. Good idea.

 

I wish we could get the whole Artoo script, I was going to say about what ben burrt said but Quest beat me to it

 

Today some friends and I were talking about this. 3P0 is a british butler, because that fits with his programming. Artoo was a mechanic, so I started thinking about mechanics I know, and I came up with the idea that R2's voice should have been done by the guy who does Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Go back and read those lines with Carl's voice...

 

I'd like to know what Artoo says when he sees Ben Kenobi for the first time on Tatooine.

 

2ndQuest, thats awesome!

I always figured the R2 and Chewie dialogue would be written roughly i.e. *concerned howl.*

Never knew they were given actual dialogue.

 

"I'd like to know what Artoo says when he sees Ben Kenobi for the first time on Tatooine."

Probably something very close to "Duuuuuuuuuuude!"


and Devilkin, in Empire of Dreams you can hear Peter Mayhew say at least one line on set: "That man is mad." So yeah, they got something. Or at least Chewie. It wouldn't surprise me if Burtt made up lines afterwards to have something to talk about.

 

For some reason my friends and I always picture R2 as cussin everyone out. Hes obviously the brains of the operation and gets everyone out of trouble.

"You dont know how to fix the hyperdrive... Chewbacca can do it..."

*bloop "stuff it goldie" beep*

 

Yeah, I'm sure Artoo has picked up a few choice swear words along the way and doesn't hesitate to use them either.

 

Luke: And uh, I'll take the gold one.
3PO walks off

R2: Are you kidding me!!!! You m****r ****'* son of a ****. For 30 god**** years I've been pulling your *** outta ****. M***** ******!!!! Walkin' off huh, A****** is ****** ******' walkin' off....d**n....well p*** on you you half dead, fancy-***, spray painted piece of ****, ****** ******. *&&*%$**(^$%((*&^#@$@$%%^%^!@!!!@@##$%%&^*&^%&*()!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R2 zapped into submission by jawa.

 

Right after Yoda's death, as Luke is walking towards his Xwing.

R2: So he finally confirmed Vader is your father. I could have told you ages ago if you'd only asked. But, you seem afraid...
Luke: I can't do it Artoo.
R2: Why?. You survived on Bespin, you can do it again.
Luke: I can't go on alone.

 

Here's mine:

(During the part where Luke cleans up the droids)

Luke: (Digging in data bank) Were you two part of the...(falls on ground when image appears)

Liea: Help me, Obi-Wan-Kenobi, You're my only hope...

R2: "Nothing."

C-3PO: He's asking you a question. What is that?

R2: "Old data. Don't pay attention to it."

C-3PO: Oh, he says its nothing. Merely old data. Pay it no mind.

Luke: Is there more to this recording?

R2: "And WHY should i tell you, kid?! For all i know, you're part of the Empire disguised as a farm boy!"

C-3PO: Behave yourself, R2. Its alright. You can trust him, he's our new master."

R2: "Oh, i forgot, Professor Goldie, YOU know everything! Fine. She was on board in our last mission. She has a message for Obi-Wan Kenobi, who lives here."

C-3PO: (Explains it to Luke)

Luke: I wonder if it means old Ben...(He walks to a spot and looks at the hologram) Sounds like she's in trouble, i'd better play back the whole thing..

R2: "HEY! BACK OFF! You wanna view the whole thing?This @$&#$ restraining bolt is making it not work. Remove it!"

Luke: ...

(C-3PO tells this to Luke and Luke removes the bolt)

(Hologram vanishes)

Luke: Hey! Where did she go? Bring her back! Play back the whole message!

R2: "Heh heh....Sucker...."

(C-3PO slams the dome and yells at him. Beru calls for Luke)

R2: "How was it, Goldie? Think he likes me for it?"

C-3PO: No, i don't think he likes you.

R2: "That's just to bad, Professor Goldie!"

C-3PO: I don't like you either.

R2: ^_^; (Note to self: Run off and search for Obi-Wan)
