Jundland, or "No Man's Land", where the rugged desert mesas meet the foreboding dune sea. The two helpless astro-droids kick up clouds of sand as they leave the lifepod and clumsily work their way across the desert wasteland. The lifepod in the distance rests half buried in the sand.
THREEPIO
How did I get into this mess? I really don't know how. We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.Artoo answers with beeping sounds.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
I've got to rest before I fall apart. My joints are almost frozen.Artoo continues to respond with beeping sounds.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
What a desolate place this is.Suddenly Artoo whistles, makes a sharp right turn and starts off in the direction of the rocky desert mesas. Threepio stops and yells at him.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
Where are you going?A stream of electronic noises pours forth from the small robot.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
Well, I'm not going that way. It's much too rocky. This way is much easier.Artoo counters with a long whistle.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
What makes you think there are settlements over there?
"Is it just me or is 3P0 acting like he's never been to Tatooine?" Padme asks and Anakin frowns as she realizes Padme was right
Artoo continues to make beeping sounds.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
Don't get technical with me.Artoo continues to make beeping sounds.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
What mission? What are you talking about? I've had just about enough of you! Go that way! You'll be malfunctioning within a day, you nearsighted scrap pile!Threepio gives the little robot a kick and starts off in the direction of the vast dune sea.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
And don't let me catch you following me begging for help, because you won't get it.
"That's just mean." Padme pouts
Artoo's reply is a rather rude sound. He turns and trudges off in the direction of the towering mesas.
THREEPIO (CONT'D)
No more adventures. I'm not going that way.Artoo beeps to himself as he makes his way toward the distant mountains.
EXT. TATOOINE - DUNE SEA
Threepio, hot and tired, struggles up over the ridge of a dune; only to find more dunes, which seem to go on for endless miles. He looks back in the direction of the now distant rock mesas.
THREEPIOThat malfunctioning little twerp. This is all his fault! He tricked me into going this way, but he'll do no better.
"You have done that to yourself." Obi-Wan says, earning some laughs from everyone. Anakin meanwhile flinches, feeling a strange of sense of Deja Vu
In a huff of anger and frustration, Threepio knocks the sand from his joints. His plight seems hopeless, when a glint of reflected light in the distance reveals an object moving towards him.
