A scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope 1977
Luke Skywalker

It looks like Sandpeople did this, all right. Look, here are Gaffi sticks, Bantha tracks. It's just I never heard of them hitting anything this big before.

Ben Kenobi

They didn't. But we are meant to think they did. These tracks are side by side. Sandpeople always ride single file to hide their numbers.

Luke Skywalker

These are the same Jawas that sold us R2 and 3PO.

Ben Kenobi

And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise.

Luke Skywalker

But why would Imperial troops slaughter Jawas? If they traced the droids here, they may have learned who they sold them to and that would lead them back... [suddenly worried] home! [runs for the speeder]

Ben Kenobi

Luke! Wait! It's too dangerous!
[Luke boards the speeder and takes off]
