Threepio is outside the cave in the desert. From the Return of the Jedi novelization: "It was cooler in this shelter, more hushed, and darker. While the beast without howled, in this place of nuance and shadow a shrouded figure worked. "Tanned hands, holding arcane tools, extended from the sleeves of a caftanlike robe. The figure crouched on the ground, working. Before him lay a discoid device of strange design, wires trailing from it at one end, symbols eched into its flat surface. He connected the wired end to a tubular, smooth handle, pulled through an organic-looking connector, locked it in place with another tool. He motioned to a shadow in the corner; the shadow moved toward him. "Tentively, the obscure form rolled closer to the robed figure. 'Vrrrr-dit dweet?' the little R2 unit questioned timidly as it approached, pausing when it was just a foot from the shrouded man with the strange device. "The shrouded man motioned the droid nearer still. Artoo-Detoo scooted the last distance, blinking; and the hands raised toward his domed little head." 4 Go to Commentary EXT. TATOOINE - DAYTIME - DROIDS 5 The two robots emerge from a small cave in the hillside. A vast desert valley stretches out below them. In the valley rest the Falcon & an X-Wing. 6 An unused matte painting intended for establishing the locale. The dark spot on the mountainside is where plate photography of the two droids exiting a cave was to have been inserted. Listen to the unused cue for the above two scenes or go to ROTJ Multimedia.
