    What is 3PO telling the Ewoks about in RotJ if he got his memory erased after EPIII?

    He's telling them about the adventures he's had in ANH, ESB, and ROTJ.

    Nothing to do with pre-OT times.

    "Torrrronto-gosh! Chiminey doooooooooo!"

    We also don't know for sure if he gets his memory erased or not... they are DROIDS after all... they can simply be ordered to forget certain people and certain situations, or ordered never to reveal their pasts concerning the Skywalker family.

    He never said anything about the PT
    He only talked about Luke, Han and Leia and the events of OT.

    Well I think that's the point - he has developed to the point where he can. sort of like the characters in Wizard of Oz - they realise through the adventure that they do have a heart, courage etc.

    IIRC, the Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide has the complete translation into Basic.

    Cp0 did have a really short version of it.

    i think he mentioned obi wan, then 3 words later he said something about carbonite, then the next couple of phrases had to do with the sarlacc and so on...

    really now, why get screwed into buying the whole trilogy, when all you needed were those all-important 5 seconds in the middle of ROTJ?

    Here you go,



    My friends,you must be wondering what all the trouble is about.Well,we are all escaping from a dredful person called Darth Vader. (breathing)Fortunately,we did meet another man,named Obi-Wan Kenobi.May the force be with you.And he fought Darth Vader with a laser sword. (sword sounds).The swords flashed and burned! But suddenly,Obi-Wan disappeared.And then,they invented the Death Star,a terrible planet.I've got a bad feeling about this.And master Luke,very cleaver,got his X-Wing fighter,(fighter sounds) and flew right up to the Death Star...and then fired,Bang! and the whole thing exploded.It was waonderful.Yes,artoo,I'm coming to that.Then there was a terrible invention,the walker,and they walked in the snow,and attacked us. (walker sounds) But master Luke got in his snowspeeder and exploded them all. (snowspeeder and explosion sounds) Oh my,and then we all got in the Millennium Falcon,and flew to Cloud City. (Falcon flyby sound)And it was so beautiful there,very serene,but stormtroopers...ahmmy.Don't shoot! Ahh! I was shot,and everything fell off.My hands,my legs,and my head.But things were worse for Hna Solo.He was frozen in carbon,and we thought he was dead. (carbon-block-hits-florr-sound) But he wasn't,and we all rescued him,and that's how we got to be here.We've come to seek your aid in fighting these enemies.Please help us




    That's copied word-for-word out of the Galctic phrase book and travel guide.Enjoy! :)

    hmmm...I had always wondered what he was talking about with "Toronto Gosh". For some reason, I thought it was the Rancor he was talking about, and had just forgotten that the Rancor stuff happened after Cloud City.

    Actually I thought it was the garbage squasher that was making the "Toronto Gosh" sounds.
