Buzzfeed dug up in this clip from a 1986 TV special to promote Star Tours, A Vacation In Space. As for the tired ‘selling out’ commentary that always comes with this sort of thing, I have only one thing to say about that:
Dear everyone claiming that #StarWars is selling out: This is the franchise that INVENTED selling out. It laughs at your rage.

The weirdest thing is hearing Threepio say things like ’cause and real fast. I never knew he had it in him.
Soundsl ike robot farts at the end there :) Did Antony actually perform this?
Congratulations, that was easily one of the more disturbing things I’ve ever seen 3PO do. And I remember both a musical and a burlesque show, so… ;-)
That was SO very 80’s.
And yes. Very disturbing…
despite Threepio telling us so, i don’t think Artoo would hug people if he had arms.
I thought it was adorable…but then I’ve always wanted to hug R2.
