man, Han," Lando added.
    "Except for the fact that he isn’t a man," Han argued, nitpicking over the subtle point.
    "He’s a Wookiee."
    "I never heard of any law that says a Wookiee can’t be the best man," Luke interjected.
    "ChnooOOch-gzEEch!" Artoo tooted.
    "What are you fussing about, Artoo?" See-Threepio demanded impatiently.
    "BzeeEEEk-zpooook!"
    "No, you can’t be the best droid at the wedding," Threepio replied. "For one thing, there’s no such thing, so you have a lot of nerve even suggesting it. And if there were such a thing as a best droid, I’m quite sure Princess Leia would decide to reserve that position of honor for me!"
    As Emdee-Five and a team of Imperial medical droids struggled to save Trioculus’s fading life, the Moffship departed from Tatooine and the region of the Great Pit of Carkoon, soaring into space.
    Meanwhile, down in the pit, the Mouth of Sarlacc stirred.
    No one was there to see or hear it, but the mouth coughed and choked, then belched and burped. In a terrible fit of indigestion, it spit out Zorba the Hutt, heaving him up with such incredible force, that Zorba landed on the sand outside the pit, on solid ground. Zorba wiggled and shook and brushed the sticky stomach juices off his blubbery body.
    "Well, I didn’t care for the taste of you, either!" Zorba exclaimed. "You should know better than to try to swallow a Hutt! No creature in the galaxy can digest us-not even you!"
    And then Zorba’s roaring laugh bellowed out across the sandy plain-a laugh that only he and the Sarlacc could hear.
    "A-HAW-HAW-HAWWWWW......!"
