Shutdown Day

SCENE: Interior of the Millennium Falcon en route to Alderaan while fleeing from Imperial forces.

Luke: Obi-Wan, are you all right? Obi-Wan: I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and… Luke: Do you feel something terrible has happened? Obi-Wan: Nevermind. False alarm. I forgot it was Computer Shutdown Day. Luke: Shutdown Day? Obi-Wan: I thought the captain said this was a fast ship. Go ask the co-pilot if they get YouTube on that satellite dish up there.
