seletotsira2012, I used Goldwave to achieve the effect (which can be downloaded with a free trial), here are the steps:

Record your phrase in a stable monotone voice. You can modify the tone a little, but the idea is that it's a robot, so keep it pretty dry.

Then in Goldwave, open the sound file. Run it through a noise filter to remove background noise and get a clean file, also sometimes gives it a nice tinny sound that comes through in the end file.

After that, there is a function called Mechanize that will let you modify the voice to sound like a Star Wars robot, at least that's the preset I started with. Then just play with the options until you get a sound you like. If it's not coming out deep enough just lower the pitch in Goldwave.

Once you've done that you may want to make it a little faster because it usually extends your voice. Just make sure to check the "preserve pitch" box so that your voice doesn't rise in pitch.
