Write your reply.

assistant: I think it's safe to say they're "dead spots" in the force. C'Boath got
real mad at Luke in Timothy Zahn's "Heir to the Empire" for trying to
bring along R2-D2 when he was about to be trained by the Jedi clone.
C'Boath called R2 an "obomination" and I'm pretty sure said something to
the effect of calling him a "hole in the force." Then again, Luke does
mention how Yoda never seemed to have a problem with R2.

assistant: I knew what you meant, just a personal ship that is unique to that

 Who knows, they could've cut out the parts where a TIE pilot was saying,
 "DAMN! Why doesn't this thing work! It keeps veering to the left!" It was
 probably in Star Wars, when the one TIE hit Vader's and sent it spinning.
 And I bet he just said, "LOOK OUT!", right after the line mentioned above.
