Welcome to Disney's Magic of Storytelling podcast brought to you by Wake Med Children's.
Because inside every child is a story waiting to be told.
Our storyteller is ABC 11's Steve Stewart.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Goodness gracious me, have we really returned to this dreadful place?
Yes, I said dreadful and I meant it.
Tatooine is the last place I'd like to be.
Let's scan the planet and get back to the Resistance as soon as possible.
No, BB-8, we are not here to have fun.
You know as well as I do, we are here on a mission for General Leia, so we must keep moving.
But oh, this heat and all this sand!
We seem to be made to suffer.
Yes, Sand, the very stuff you've been rolling across, you silly sack of gears.
It is really quite terrible for my circuits and... Oh, BB-8, stop playing with that run-to.
We are here to work, you two.
What do you mean your best adventures have happened on desert planets?
Of all the ridiculous things to say.
Don't listen to him, BB-8.
He's clearly malfunctioning.
Oh, yes, the girl, Ray.
Yes, we all know she rescued you from the dunes on Jakku.
You needn't act it out.
Oh, this horrible sand.
It's everywhere, and I simply cannot stand it.
Not one single bit.
And neither should you two droids if you had half a logic socket.
Now keep moving.
I don't know what the sound is, R2, but we're not going that way.
We're going this way, because this is the way we should go.
General Leia asked me personally to collect data for her, and Protocol Droid would never...
R2?
BB-8?
Where are those silly droids?
And what is that racket?
I don't know what all this trouble is about, but I'm sure it must be R2's fault.
Yes, yes, I can imagine it was fun to watch, but we haven't time for pod races.
You watch your language, R2.
How General Leia puts up with you is a complete mystery to me.
No, BB-8, come back.
Where does he think he's going?
Now look at what you've done, R2.
You've lost poor BB-8.
That little round droid needs us.
Do you see him anywhere?
Playing tag?
Is that what you said?
Oh dear.
BB-8, come along, quickly!
No, BB-8.
Jawas are not your friends.
Next you'll be saying you want to play with Tusken Raiders.
Come, come.
We must stay focused on our mission.
Now, if my calculations are correct, we should be approaching the.
I've just about had enough of you two.
We don't have time for this.
No, not even time for sand banthas.
Really, BB-8, where do you come up with these things?
Stop fussing around that dreadful stuff.
You've gotten some in my eye.
Oh, R2, it doesn't matter that he has forgotten the horns.
I do not like sand, and I do not like sand banthas, and this is a waste of our time.
What do you mean about a real bantha?
Oh, my.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Thank you, Mr. Banda.
We will just continue on our way, and can you do the same?
Now, really, you are entirely too close.
Please, if you would be so kind as to just move along.
How do you know he wants a hug?
You don't speak Bantha.
I don't even speak Bantha.
Oh, dear.
We're doomed.
Oh, that smelly brute.
Of all the most unpleasant things.
No, we cannot keep him, BB-8.
That is it.
Fuss and now Bantha fur.
I have had enough of all of this.
Thank the Maker.
We've made it back to the ship.
The first thing I'm going to do is take a nice long oil bath to clean off all this terrible sand.
You be quiet, R2.
Look, you're bringing half the desert in with you.
Who's going to clean all this up?
Not me, that's for sure.
How glad I am that this mission is over.
If I never see sand again, I'll be the happiest droid in the galaxy.
The End.
