"It is unfortunate, but we lost our papers. We were attacked by those pirate scum"- Gallador seems to be really outraged when he mentions pirates -"and we didn`t have time to take anything but our most crucial posessions. We lost much more than papers." -Gallador trembles( most likely remembering the victims of attack)
Ush, movies imply that Star Wars robots are sophisticated enough to be able to perceive and understand human emotions at basic level( they even know when patient dies of a broken heart), so a bit of acting is not out of place, I assume.
Absolutely, for the most part treat the droids just as Humans- if they are designed to work with Humans they will be able to understand well enough. And you being a great liar suits the bill very well.
Takuan is also thinking "Oh bugger, Droids" when it comes to the Mind Trick back-up. That said, droids don't run this planet so there must be a supervisor somewhere.
"Oh dear," says the droid. "That does sound most unfortunate. I am afraid that involves a certain amount of legal complication, of course, because we need to fully establish your personal details and reason for visit before allowing you out of the starport. All this legalese! I of course am a mere droid and just a functionary in such matters."
"Of course, we are ready to follow all necessary procedures."
Ush, I assume that with combined knowledge of our characters we have come with s suitable place where a small private mining base on asteroid field could be located? Place not too close to Newhaven, but close enough so it could be a likely hyperspace jump.
