* HiddenDepths: Turns out Admiral Motti, the guy who Vader choked for dismissing the Force, is actually religious himself and depending on how you interpret it might actually believe in the Force. He just objects to having someone else literally shove their religious beliefs down his throat at a military meeting. He's also got a snarky streak, as he notes that if Vader has such faith in the ability of the Force, then he can destroy the planet himself.

When Owen chooses him against all odds, he's overwhelmed with joy and promises to be the best droid he can be, but the excitement is too much for him and he overheats.
