A New Hope – just realized that the first one-third of the movie largely consist of beeping and, well, I just now realized I have always understood all of it

Remember seeing A New Hope in a small dingy cinema and the feeling of awe has held pretty well, I saw the movie  yesterday for uptienth time.  Speaking of R2-D2 – here’s Ralph McQuarrie painting of it with C3PO for Return of the Jedi… 

And R2-D2 looks soo chunky – like something that was put together without power tools.

For all your beeping needs when ordering Domino’s pizza:
