That's awesome, Brash Stryker!
With that curt tone to his voice, I imagine he's saying something like "What do you mean flying in so low? Don't you know that disrupts these evaporators? Do you think I like baking my circuits out here all day? What do you want? Your mother? Let's see if master knows what you're talking about."
I don't know. Something grumpy like that.
The cutaway to Padme seems unnecessary now-- the whole thing should probably be extremely brief-- like the other non-3p0 protocol droid scenes in the saga. Almost a one-line and off thing. The shorter it is, the more convincing it will be as a non-3p0 droid.
Good news about how easy it may be to cut around this character. That is, good news to everyone but TM who has to deal with tons of music changes every time there's a new cut he wants to do...
