- Leia is also welding behind C-3PO when he is talking to the Falcon.
- Luke is rarely on the Falcon in the movies.
- More technobabble. It doesn't make any sense to Ryan from a scientific perspective.
- C-3PO points out that the Falcon has a weird dialect. This adds another layer of mystery to the Falcon although it is a confusing concept. Ryan thinks it has to do with the programming language used in the corner of galaxy where the Falcon was built.
- C-3PO is offended by the Falcon, perhaps due to a lot of profanity. C-3PO is like a stuffy butler having to deal with a gruff tradesman (i.e. the Falcon).
- C-3PO is doing the one thing that he is meant to do (i.e. talking to something) and still complains.
- R2-D2 is also sad. This is a bad minute for the droids.
- R2-D2 may not be a good guard for the camp.

- The Falcon's "voice" can be heard in the sound mix.
- C-3PO doesn't physically talk to the Falcon - he types to it instead. The Falcon probably doesn't want to hear C-3PO's voice.
- Han and Leia are in the access corridor. Han's shtick would be old for Leia by now.
- Leia gives Han the stink eye when he tries to help her. At least it wasn't C-3PO trying to help her.
- Leia is a great role model for a Princess. She is shown doing physical work and this makes a great change for movie Princesses:

- Unless welding is the equivalent of dusting in the Star Wars universe.
