Du måste komma ihåg att Luke försöker öppna dörren, och Han försöker spränga den, men så fort de kommer in, har de inte riktigt tid att fråga C-3P0 att öppna dörren för att det där hela avsnittet i masheren är händelserikt.
Jag har utelämnat någon dialog för att hålla den så koncis som möjligt
Han tumbles into a large room filled with garbage and muck. Luke is already
stumbling around looking for an exit. He finds a small hatchway and struggles
to get it open. It won't budge.
[...]
Han draws his laser pistol and fires at the hatch. The laserbolt ricochets
wildly around the small metal room. Everyone dives for cover in the garbage as
the bolt explodes almost on top of them. Leia climbs out of the garbage with a
rather grim look on her face.
[...]
A loud, horrible, inhuman moan works its way up from the murky depths.
Chewbacca lets out a terrified howl and begins to back away. Han and Luke stand
fast with their laser pistols drawn.
[...]
Suddenly Luke is yanked under the garbage
[...]
Suddenly the walls of the garbage receptacle shudder and move in a couple of
inches. Then everything is deathly quiet... With a rush of bubbles and muck
Luke suddenly bobs to the surface.
[...]
Luke seems to be released by the thing.
[...]
Before anyone can say anything the walls begin to rumble and edge toward the
Rebels.
[...]
Luke pulls out his comlink.
LUKE
Threepio! Come in Threepio!
Threepio! Where could he be?
INT. DEATH STAR - MAIN GANTRY - COMMAND OFFICE
A soft buzzer and the muted voice of Luke calling out for See-Threepio can be
heard on Threepio's hand comlink, which is sitting on the deserted computer
console. Artoo and Threepio are nowhere in sight.
A trooper pushes a button and the supply cabinet door slides open. See-Threepio
and Artoo-Detoo are inside. Artoo follows his bronze companion out into the
office. ...
The troops hustle off down the hallway, leaving a guard to watch over the
command office.
[...]
THREEPIO
Use the comlink? Oh, my! I forgot I turned it off!
A New Hope - Script
Vid denna tidpunkt är papperskorgen komprimerad nästan:
The walls are only feet apart... She's terrified and suddenly groans as she feels the first crushing pressure against her body.
Så från skriptet ser vi att Luke aldrig har tid, som nämnts av Valorum, även att titta på enhetens nummer på luckan på grund av monster och krossväggar. Och när de försöker kontakta 3P0, sitter han i att gömma sig från imperiet, med com-länken på bordet.
