Plot
After R2-D2 fails to turn up for servicing, C-3P0 finds him replaying the recording of Princess Leia's message to Ben Kenobi on Tantive IV. When C-3P0 asks why he still has this ancient history clogging up his memory, R2-D2 plays some other, as yet unseen, messages. They feature: - a message from Han Solo for Luke and Leia just before he leaves Yavin 4 to its fate with the Death Star; - a message from Leia for Luke just before the imminent Imperial attack on Echo Base; - musings from Luke as he looks upon the Ewok celebrations at the fall of the Empire. C-3P0 decides that perhaps R2-D2 does not need service at this time.
