As you enter the Star Tour's attraction queue, you enter what looks like a repair bay, where you see two familiar droids working a StarSpeeder in the front.
To the right is a see-through screen of plastic tiles that becomes opaque in different patterns. The whole screen becomes opaque when advertisements are projected on it
"BTW, These tiles are available from Edmund's scientific and become opaque when a electric charge is place thru it. Around $50 per 6X6 inch piece."
We enter in a conversation that is currently going on.
Male Announcer 1 : "Attention please, all droids leaving the
system must be cleared by custom's control, proof of ownership is required for all droid passengers."
C3PO : "'Proof of ownership?' We droids are made to suffer such indignities"
Male Alien Announcer : .........
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "What is it now, R2?"
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "Don't get technical with me! What pressure? The fuel pressure!?!....
Well, why didn't you say so in the first place? Let me check."
R2D2 : Warbles.
C3PO : "Yes, I am getting rather high read here....
Oh yes, R2, I am shutting off the main line right now!!!"
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "Just you get back to fixing that motivator!"
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "These new transports are impossible!"
(Ad comes on the Screen)
Male Announcer 2 : "Star Tours introduces the perfect getaway vacation, with exclusive tour packages to Hoth. Now you can ski the most incredible slopes in the galaxy, or if you prefer, explore beautiful and mysteries ice caverns and the famed echo base of the rebellion forces. And while you are there, be sure to enjoy the exhilarating ride on a Taun Taun. It's all on Hoth, and it all begins soon, only from Star Tours. Watch for details."
C3PO : "Well, you'll never get me to go back to that iceberg!"
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "I don't care how safe it is now, R2, it gives my motivators
the chills just thinking about it. Hmmm, I would rather be sent to, the spice mines of Kessel then go back to Hoth."
Male Supervisor : "Hey, you droids on transport 22, get back to work!"
C3PO : "Now see what you have done! We'll lose our jobs for sure."
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "Don't insult me you overgrown scrap pile! At least I'm doing my job!"
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "Yes, I am. So you just get back to fixing that hyperdrive motivator!"
Female announcer: "Will the owner of a red and black landspeeder vehicle ID THX-1138 please return to your craft. You're parked in a no-hover area."
Male Announcer : "All passengers who wish to exchange currency, prior to departure, are invited to visit the exchange office, opened daily during regular flight hours."
Female announcer : "There has been a gate change for Star Tours flight 114, StarSpeeder service to Endor. Flight 114 will now be departing for gate number 2. This is a gate change only. Thank you."
C3PO : "I do wish I could go with you to Endor...."
R2D2 : Something shorts and he warbles loudly....
C3PO : "On second thought, I just remembered how much I hate space travel. You have a nice trip though, R2."
Female announcer : "Attention please. Star Tours flight 11-19, non-stop service to Endor, is now ready for boarding at gate number 1. All passengers please proceed to the boarding area immediately."
Alien announcer : ...........
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "R2D2, just what do you think you are doing?"
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "Get back to work, before they deactivate you!"
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "Yes, I think they would. And hurry up, they're be needing
this transport any moment now."
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "No, I don't feel sorry for you at all."
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "Well, how should I know what's wrong with the ship? I am a interpreter, not a astromech. However, you might just check the logic circuits, sometimes I think these new transports have a mind of the own."
Male Announcer : "Your attention please. All interplanetary travelers must have a current passport and the necessary visas prior to leaving the space port. Passengers requiring assistance should visit the nearest information kiosk. Thank you."

C3PO : "Things have certainly changed since we were last there. I thought we were doomed for sure. But we did survive... somehow."
R2D2 : Warbles.
C3PO : "Thank you R2. I don't know what I would do without you either."
Female announcer : "Star Tours flight 55, is now ready for boarding at gate number 3. At this time, we would like to board those passengers with droids or anyone requiring special assistance. Thank you."
Male Supervisor : "Transport 22. Prepare for elevation to passengers boarding level."

C3PO : "Forward lights........ Check"
C3PO : "Defector shield....... Check"
C3PO : "Laser cannons......... Check"
C3PO : "Hyper.... I said check R2! Shut them down before you blow up the entire place!"
R2D2 : Warbles.
C3PO : "Sometimes R2, I can't understand your logic at all."
R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "No, not at all."

R2D2 : Warbles
C3PO : "What do you mean, you are doing all the work? You ungrateful little twit! I've just about had enough of you. Why, you wouldn't even have this job if it wasn't for me."

Male Supervisor : "Ahh, Transport 22, I am getting a critical reading on your laser cannon. Shutdown immediately!"
(Buzzers and sirens go on)
