(The Falcon shakes…)
C-3PO: Sir, it’s quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable.
Han Solo: Not entirely stable? I’m glad you’re here to tell us these things. Chewie, take the professor in the back and plug him into the hyperdrive.
C-3PO: Sometimes I just don’t understand human behavior. After all, I’m only trying to do my job.

Why we collected this quote
C-3PO’s exasperated little monologue is quietly funny and deeply relatable – a perfect example of his endearing tendency to take offence at being dismissed. It’s witty and charming, and a great reminder of why 3PO’s put-upon dignity is such a joy throughout the saga.
What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Inside the asteroid field, the Falcon is shaking itself apart and Han is in no mood for 3PO’s warnings. When Han sarcastically thanks 3PO for stating the obvious and ships him off to the back to help with the hyperdrive, 3PO can’t help but mutter this little complaint to himself – talking to no one.
