I've always felt weird about that bit in The Empire Strikes Back when 3PO decides to go all Ric Olie on us during the carbonite encasement scene. This is a tense moment where one of our heroes may be dead, and yet 3PO insists on happily spouting explanatory dialogue, the gist of which we've actually already heard...

3PO: What? What's going on? Turn around, Chewbacca, I can't see! Ooh, they've encased him in carbonite! He should be quite well protected, if he survives the freezing process, that is.

Yeah...thanks, 3PO, we've just been given that information a few minutes ago in an exchange between Lando and Vader, and a little less obtusely, if you don't mind my saying. In fact, you sound surprisingly up-beat about all this...

Everybody else is falling apart in mourning, Leia, Chewbacca and even the two-faced Lando, yet you seem to be feeling pretty groovy...

Han's attitude can't have annoyed you that much, right?
