A droid is most likely cheaper than a hired hand, and I doubt Luke was being paid any real salary. | |

| Jan 20, 2016 at 23:14 | comment | added | Doug Warren | The price was probably right. The jawas' overhead may be high: Who knows how much "gas" that big giant crawler uses? If they can find a buyer for their goods, which are literally junk, at any price, they might be strongly inclined to sell immediately, rather than haul their wares to some other market on the speculation that somebody else might pay more. | |

Clarify since the first one wasn't specifically an "R2".

| Jan 20, 2016 at 21:53 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | It seems like a very vital thing to have a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators when you work on a moisture farm. The real question is, why didn't they already have one? | |

Oh, I didn't know that. I was mislead by Luke's "This R2 unit has a bad motivator"
|

| Jan 20, 2016 at 15:35 | comment | added | SQB | Actually, Owen didn't buy another R2-unit, he bought an R5-D4. Although Luke (and possibly Owen as well) may have mistaken it for an R2-AG4. | |

Minor grammar; added applicable tags

| Jan 20, 2016 at 15:16 | comment | added | Thomas | Maybe they all come with the universal plug, which RDD2 uses in many occasions, to reprogram these vaporators | |
