STAR WARS ASTROMECH DROIDS : THE IDIOT'S GUIDE | FILMWAFFLE #9 - Duration: 6:34.
well a toot toot and a tweet tweet to you - little blue super screwdriver
good old R2, had a trick for every occasion but did he ever have one of
these? No rubbish they really aren't you
Hi everyone it's Andy wishing a very happy New Year to you all
we've got some videos planned so please do hit the subscribe and notification
buttons below. If you're new to the channel then welcome, if you love random
talk and videos about science fiction and horror then you've come to the right
place if you're already a subscriber then may you live to be a thousand years
old and victory envelop all your endeavors. So we had a poll at the end
of our last video and you all voted, well some of you voted, and it was a dead heat.
So using a calibrated binary decision-making tool the winner was the
astromech droid Don't worry Whisky Brewer we'll do the
Falcon at a later day So the Astromech Droid or the 3ft
tall trash can that can fix anything from TV remote to a nuclear
reactor. Just look at Empire Strikes Back, Chewie and Han spend vast majority of
the film trying to fix the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon to no avail only
for R2 to come along and stick some random implement into an access port,
twist and there you go hyperspace. Kind of making Han and Chewie look a bit shit.
So let's learn a bit more about the Astromech droid.
The term Astromech droids covers a wide range of droids designed to assist with
the general day-to-day operations and repairs upon starship or space station
In some cases most notably the R2 series these droids functions extend to
effectively copilot duties onboard star fighters by maintaining ship functions
during combats and even performing the calculations for hyperspace travel.
Despite the vast array of useful tools and applications plus the amount of
interface these little droids provide between systems and people they can only
communicate in a string of beeps and whistles which can only be deciphered by
other computers, which just seems a bit weird really. I mean my phone can talk to
me in English how hard would it have been to fit a beep to whatever language
converter. The most famous Astromech droid is r2d2 which was first seen
chronologically onboard the J-type 327 Nubian Royal Starship
but before we move on to this well loved electric Swiss Army Knife let's
discuss the R series in general. The R series were produced by Industrial
Automaton and extended as far as R5. R1 droids were simple and relatively
tall in comparison to the follow-on R2 droids. The R1 droids actually make an
appearance in the Phantom Menace with Watto and in Episode 4 being sold to
Lars Owen. R2s were relatively compact compared with R1 and
possess significantly more tools and was a far greater marketing success story
due to the range of duties and compatibility with starfighters.
R3 and R4 were pretty much identical to R2 but featured faster
processors which aided with hyperspace calculations. The R5 was a budget boy R2
a kind of Lidl R2 it did many of the things that the r2 could do but with
added smoke and sparks. The R2 series is never really bettered by
Industrial Automaton and arguably anyone else for that matter
it was fitted with dozens of tools specialist sensors, communication systems
and propulsion mechanisms within a structure about half the size of its
predecessor. Think of an army knife pack it with double the tools
and a half in its size that's essentially the R2 over the R1. This
densely packed machine carried serious favour by technicians and operators due
to the universal application and found itself on many varying types of
spacecraft but it was a single seater fighter market where the r2 really
excelled. It could be slotted into a space which didn't need any life support
and he could watch over the fighters vital systems and distribute power where
it needed at times of combat in fact many fighters absolutely relied on the
astromech droid for bone range hyperspace calculations which led to a
cost reduction as the expensive navigations could be omitted from the
fighters themselves. If the range of tools on the R2 wasn't large enough
the droid was designed so that more tools could be fitted. It wouldn't
surprise me if there was some form of galactic pimp my r2 competition where
neons, super bouncy suspension and massive speakers could be fitted.
Around thirty five years after the Battle Yavin, the BB series of droids
entered service. These droids had many similarities to the R2 as they
could be docked into a Starfighter and operated much like a navigator and
onboard mechanic. The most obvious departure from the R2 design is a
spherical all body terrains drive which allowed the BB to travel faster than the
R2 over extremely uneven surfaces. The head component wasn't actually
physically tethered to the body but operating a wireless system...
Perhaps bluetooth.... yes really secure!
Astromech droids had artificial intelligence and the ability to learn
thus each droid adapts to its environment and didn't require excessive
and long-winded overnight updates which prevent you from shutting down your
computer properly and seems to only happen when you leave work early!
Anyway this led to personality development which in turn creates kinship between
pilots and droid. You see this numerous times through Star Wars for instance Poe
with BB-8 and numerous times were Luke and Anakin are both very pally with
R2D2, which I thought was a tad weird especially after I discovered that
R2's memory was not wiped blank like C3P0's. Now unless he has some kind of memory
wipe system to keep his memory banks from filling up then R2D2 should have
had some recollection of Anakin. Perhaps be beep beep tweet means
"Hey you're a Skywalker ,I used to know a Skywalker, he was from these parts you
know, intense guy. Bit of a child killing psycho, actually murdered a lot of people,
went insane turned into a robot. His missus had a pair of kids they'd be about your
age. Actually there's something very familiar about this farm... ohh right. But no
without that fancy translator then Luke would have had a hope. Saying that there
is a popular fan theory which suggests r2d2 was in fact a spy in a mission not only
to locate Kenobi but also young Skywalker. It's probably inaccurate but
it's fun to speculate I'm still convinced C3P0 is Rey's father!
And there you have it fun facts about the Astromech droid have you enjoyed

English Pronunciation - Difficult Words - Duration: 6:27.
Hello! Tudo bem? Qué tal? Bonjour!
What's up guys?
Are you ready for some more pronunciation practice?
Today we're going to look at six more words that can be tricky for many English learners to say.
After watching this video, you'll be able to pronounce the following words like a native English speaker:
Before we get started, remember to activate the English subtitles if you need them
and click on the subscribe button and the little bell to receive all of my new videos.
Prontos? Listos? Prêts? Let's take a look!
Alright, first word: foreigner.
For example:
This is one of those annoying words that have strange silent letters in them.
In this case, the letter "g" is completely silent.
Also, the letter group "eign" is going to take the schwa sound.
You remember the schwa sound, right?
Also, you need to place the stress on the first syllable, not the second syllable.
So, if I were to spell this word exactly how it sounds, it would look like this:
Now, try it faster.
There you go!
Second word: toward.
For example:
This is one of the hardest words to learn to pronounce,
because native speakers sometimes pronounce this word as two syllables when we're speaking more slowly,
but we pronounce it as one syllable if we're speaking fast.
So, when we say this word more slowly, it looks like this:
In this case, the "to" takes the schwa sound, and the second syllable is stressed.
However, native speakers usually speak fast, right?
And when we're speaking fast, this word usually comes out as just one syllable.
If I were to spell it exactly how it sounds, it would look like this:
Very short, right?
For example, listen to this sentence.
You hear how it sounds like only one syllable?
Try it again with me:
There you go!
Okay, third word: violence.
For example:
The mistake that English learners make with this word is that they pronounce it as 3 syllables,
when in reality, native speakers pronounce it with just 2 syllables.
In order to pronounce it as 2 syllables, you need to get rid of the "o" sound.
Let me show you both the incorrect and correct pronunciations of this word.
It is incorrect to say vy o lence. No, no, no. The correct pronunciation is violence.
Listen again closely: vy o lence, violence
Do you notice how I don't pronounce the "o" sound?
If I were to spell this word exactly how it sounds, it would look like this:
Now try it faster.
There you go!
Fourth word: capital.
For example:
Leave a comment down below telling us the capital of your country!
Okay, let me show you both the incorrect and correct pronunciations of this word.
It is incorrect to say ca pee TAL. No, no, no. The correct pronunciation is capital.
Listen again closely: ca pee TAL, capital
You hear the difference?
There are three keys to pronouncing this word like a native English speaker:
The first key is to emphasize the first syllable, not the last syllable.
The second key is to pronounce the "t" like a "d" sound.
And the third key is to pronounce the "i" and "a" as schwa sounds.
So, if I were to spell this word exactly how it sounds, it would look like this:
Now, try saying it faster.
There you go!
Alright, fifth word: focused.
For example:
Let's take a look at both the incorrect and correct pronunciations of this word.
It is incorrect to say faw cussed. No, no, no. The correct pronunciation is focused.
Listen again closely: faw cussed, focused.
You need to pronounce the first syllable with a hard "o" sound, like this:
And another mistake that English learners make with this word is with the letter "u."
This vowel is not stressed, so it takes the schwa sound.
And, when spoken at a regular speed, this schwa ends up sounding like an "i" sound.
So, if I were to spell this word exactly how it sounds, it would look like this:
Now, try it faster.
There you go!
Last word: bilingual.
For example:
Let's take a look at both the incorrect and correct pronunciations of this word.
It is incorrect to say bee ling you al. No, no, no. The correct pronunciation is bilingual.
Listen again closely: bee ling you al, bilingual.
The first "i" should be pronounced with a hard sound, like this:
And the "gual" should be pronounced like this:
So, if I were to spell this word exactly how it sounds, it would look like this:
Now, try it faster.
There you go!
