Reconsidering Star Wars IV in the light of I-III
“Wherever 3PO goes, being as loud and obvious as he always is, his unobtrusive little counterpart goes with him. 3PO is R2’s front man. Wherever they land, R2 is passing messages between rebel sympathizers and sizing up governments as potential rebel recruits - both by personal contact and by hacking into their networks.”
“Chewie’s first problem is what is happening between Luke and Leia. With a psychic link they can feel but don’t understand, thrown together in a life-or-death escape, they are looking at each other with a sparky intensity that Chewie gradually recognises as Romantic Tension. He’s no expert on human relationships but Chewie is fairly sure that that’s Wrong, so he does the only thing he can under the circumstances - he throws Han at her.”
It’s all about Chewie and Artoo. Wow. Nice work.
