I wrote this snippet way back when I first thought of this project. I really wanted an actual payoff to the heavily-marketed image of C-3PO toting Chewbacca’s bandolier and bowcaster. However, I hadn’t seen TROS in a while when I wrote it, and I’d forgotten two key things: first, that C-3PO’s memory is wiped at the time, and second, that R2D2 is back at the Resistance base. So I probably won’t be able to insert this anywhere, sadly. Regardless, please enjoy:

R2D2 beeped emphatically.
“What do you mean, ‘open fire’!?” C-3PO wailed. “Artoo, I could never - !”
R2D2 swung his chassis forwards and headbutted his friend’s elbow. The bowcaster went off, and sent three stormtroopers flying into the air.
“Oh my goodness!” screamed a startled C-3PO.
