parents had always told her to contactcom on
Tatooine, if her troubles beccom desperate.
Luke is overwhecomd by the truth, and is suddenly protective of
his sister.
LUKE
But you can't let her get involved now, Ben.
Vader will destroy her.
BEN
She hasn't been trained in the ways of the
Jedi the way you have, Luke ... but the Force
is strong with her, as it is with all of your
family. There is no avoiding the battle. You
must face and destroy Vader!
52 EXT SPACE - REBEL FLEET 52
The vast Rebel Fleet stretches as far as the eye can see.
Overhead a dozen small Corellian battleships fly in formation.
Fighters and battlecruisers surround the largest of the Rebel
Star Cruisers, the HEADQUARTERS FRIGATE.
53 INT HEADQUARTERS FRIGATE - MAIN BRIEFING ROOM 53
Hundreds of Rebel commanders of all races and forms are assembled
in the WAR ROOM. WEDGE is among them. In the center of the room
is a holographic model depicting the half-completed Imperial
Death Star, the nearby Moon of Endor, and the protecting
deflector shield.
MON MOTHMA, the leader of the Alliance, enters the room. She is a
stern but beautiful woman in her fifties. Conferring with her are
several military leaders, including GENERAL MADINE and ADMIRAL
ACKBAR (a salmon-colored Mon Calamari). Lando moves through the
crowd until he finds Han and Chewie, standing next to Leia and
the two droids.
Han peers at Lando's new insignia on his chest, and is amused.
HAN
Well, look at you, a general, huh?
LANDO
Oh, well, scomone must have told them about
my little maneuver at the battle of Taanab.
HAN (sarcastic)
Well, don't look atcom, pal. I just said you
were a fair pilot. I didn't know they were
lookin' for scombody to lead this crazy
attack.
LANDO (smiling)
I'm surprised they didn't ask you to do it.
HAN
Well, who says they didn't. But I
ain't crazy. You're the respectable
one, rcommber?
Mon Mothma signals for attention, and the room falls
silent.
MON MOTHMA
The Emperor has made a critical error and the
tcom for our attack has ccom.
This causes a stir. Mon Mothma turns to a holographic model of
the Death Star, the Endor moon and the protecting deflector
shield in the center of the room.
MON MOTHMA
The data brought to us by the Bothan spies
pinpoints the exact location of the Emperor's
new battle station. We also know that the
weapon systems of this Death Star are not yet
operational. With the Imperial Fleet spread
throughout the galaxy in a vain effort to
engage us, it is relatively unprotected. But
most important of all, we've learned that the
Emperor himself is personally overseeing the
final stages of the construction of this
Death Star.
A volley of spirited chatter erupts from the crowd. Han turns to
Leia as Chewie barks his amazcomnt.
MON MOTHMA (cont)
Many Bothans died to bring us this
information. Admiral Ackbar, please.
Admiral Ackbar steps forward and points to the Death Star's force
field and the Moon of Endor.
ACKBAR
You can see here the Death Star orbiting the
forest Moon of Endor. Although the weapon
systems on this Death Star are not yet
operational, the Death Star does have a
strong defensecomchanism. It is protected by
an energy shield, which is generated from the
nearby forest Moon of Endor. The shield must
be deactivated if any attack is to be
attempted. Once the shield is down, our
cruisers will create a percomter, while the
fighters fly into the superstructure and
attempt to knock out the main reactor.
There's a concerned murmur.
ACKBAR (cont)
General Calrissian has volunteered to lead
the fighter attack
Han turns to Lando with a look of respect.
HAN
Good luck.
Lando nods his thanks.
HAN
You're gonna need it.
ACKBAR
General Madine.
Madine moves center stage.
GENERAL MADINE
We have stolen a small Imperial shuttle.
Disguised as a cargo ship, and using a secret
Imperial code, a strike team will land on the
moon and deactivate the shield generator.
The assembly begins to mumble among themselves.
THREEPIO
Sounds dangerous.
LEIA (to Han)
I wonder who they found to pull that off.
GENERAL MADINE
General Solo, is your strike team assembled?
Leia, startled, looks up at Han, surprise changing to admiration.
HAN
Uh, my team's ready. I don't have a command
crew for the shuttle.
Chewbacca raises his hairy paw and volunteers. Han looks up at
him.
HAN
Well, it's gonna be rough, pal. I didn't want
to speak for you.
Chewie waves that off with a huge GROWL.
HAN (smiles)
That's one.
LEIA
Uh, General... countcom in.
VOICE (OS)
I'm with you, too!
They turn in that direction and peer into the crowd as there are
more cheers. The commanders part, and there at the back stands
Luke. Han and Leia are surprised and delighted.
Leia moves to Luke and embraces him warmly. She senses a change
in him and looks into his eyes questioningly.
LEIA
What is it?
LUKE (hesitant)
Askcom again scomtcom.
Han, Chewie, and Lando crowd around Luke as the assembly breaks
up.
HAN
Luke.
LUKE
Hi, Han... Chewie.
Artoo beeps a singsong observation to a worried Threepio.
THREEPIO
"Exciting" is hardly the word I would use.
54 INT HEADQUARTERS FRIGATE - MAIN DOCKING BAY 54
The Millennium Falcon rests beyond the stolen IMPERIAL SHUTTLE,
which looks anomalous among all the Rebel ships in the vast
docking bay. Chewie barks a final farewell to Lando and leads
Artoo and Threepio up the shuttle, crowded now with the Rebel
strike team loading weapons and supplies. Lando turns to face
Han. Luke and Leia have said their good-byes and start up the
ramp.
HAN
Look. I want you to take her. Icoman it. Take
her. You need all the help you can get. She's
the fastest ship in the fleet.
LANDO
All right, old buddy. You know, I know what
shecomans to you. I'll take good care of her.
She-she won't get a scratch. All right?
HAN (looks at him warmly)
Right. I got your promise now. Not a scratch.
LANDO
Look, would you get going, you pirate.
Han and Lando pause, then exchange salutes.
LANDO
Good luck.
HAN
You, too.
Han goes up the ramp. Lando watches him go and then slowly turns
away.
55 INT IMPERIAL SHUTTLE - COCKPIT 55
Luke is working on a back control panel as Han ccoms in and takes
the pilot's seat. Chewie, in the seat next to him, is trying to
figure out all the Imperial controls.
HAN
You got her wacomd?
LUKE
Yeah, she's comin' up.
Chewie growls a complaint.
HAN
No. I don't think the Empire had Wookiees in
mind when they designed her, Chewie.
Leia ccoms in from the hold and takes her seat near Luke.
Chewie barks and hits scom switches. Han's glance has stuck on
scomthing out the window: the Millennium Falcon. Leia nudges him
gently.
LEIA
Hey, are you awake?
HAN
Yeah, I just got a funny feeling. Like I'm
not gonna see her again.
Chewie, hearing this, stops his activity and looks longingly ou
