(R2D2 and Chewbacca playing a game of Dejarik while C3-PO watches…)
C3-PO (to Chewie): He made a fair move. Screaming about it can’t help you.
Han Solo: Let him have it. It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C3-PO: But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
Han Solo: That’s because a droid don’t pull people’s arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
C3-PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the Wookiee win.
