14 Sassiest Droids In The Star Wars Universe
7. Jabba’s Door
Threepio and Artoo knock on Jabba’s front door and out pops a very sassy robot eyeball on a stick. It’s not clear whether the door is one big droid, or if the this guy is just built into the door, but either way his life probably sucks.
The condescending laugh he has at Artoo and Threepio’s expense could be about one of two things.
1) He knows these two are about to be enslaved and tortured and what folly it is for them to be walking through this door.
2) It could be Threepio’s rusty Huttese. When Threepio introduces himself and Artoo to the door eyeball, you hear him say “R2… D-tow-ah.” If “tow-ah” means 2, then why didn’t he say “R-tow-ah D-tow-ah?” Why did he only translate the second two?
That'd be like introducing him to a Spanish-speaking person as R2-D-Dos. Eyeball guy probably thought this gold fella’s skittish Huttese is gonna get him into serious trouble, leading right back to option 1) re: enslavement and torture.
