Who?
The gunner on the Star Destroyer in the first film.
What d'you mean?
[chuckles in a knowing way] Well, if he'd shot the pod with R2 and 3PO in, they wouldn't have made it to Tatooine, they wouldn't have met Luke, Luke wouldn't have met Ben, they wouldn't have met Han and Chewie, they wouldn't have saved Princess Leia, none of it would have happened.
Chaos theory...
Eh?
The predictability of random events. The notion that reality as we know it—past, present, future—is in fact a mathematically predictable preordained system.

I've got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket. [They all cheer; Tim sings] "Oh Mummy, oh Daddy, let's all play kabaddi."
