John's ability to understand Artoo was definitely on a young Luke Skywalker level; he sort of guessed and had an intuition about it. That was probably due to the fact that he'd had a similar friend on board Moya - the DRD that he had lovingly named 1812 (for Tchaikovsky's Overture).
John had brought a tray-like thing with some gears attached to the bottom. "I put this together from some ride parts to help you with the drink serving, little guy. Don't know if it'll work, though."
