Rembrandt The Jewish Bride

Luke was tired, not alarmed. "What is it? What's wrong with him now?"He was beginning to see how Threepio's patience could be worn thin. He had hadabout enough of this addled instrument himself. Undoubtedly the Artoo unit had acquired the holo of the girl by accident, thenused it to entice Luke into removing his restraining module. Threepio probably hadthe right attitude. Still, once Luke got its circuits realigned and its logic couplingscleaned, it would make a perfectly serviceable farm unit. Only…if that was the case,then why was Threepio looking around so anxiously? "Oh my, sir. Artoo claims there are several creatures of unknown typeapproaching from the southeast." That could be another attempt by Artoo to distract them, but Luke couldn't takethe chance. Instantly he had his rifle off his shoulder and had activated the energycell. He examined the horizon in the indicated direction and saw nothing. But then,sandpeople were experts at making themselves unseeable. Luke suddenly realized exactly how far out they were, how much ground thelandspeeder had covered that morning. "I've never been out in this direction this farfrom the farm before," he informed Threepio. "There are some awfully strangethings living out here. Not all of them have been classified. It's better to treatanything as dangerous until determined otherwise. Of course, if it's somethingutterly new…" His curiosity prodded him. In any case, this was probably justanother ruse of Artoo Detoo's. "Let's take a look," he decided.
