'STAR WARS' THEME PLAYS LOW RUMBLING ENGINES WHOOSH Command Station, this is ST-321. Code clearance blue. We're starting our approach. Deactivate the security shield. Security deflector shield will be deactivated when we have confirmation of your code transmission. Stand by. COMPUTER BLEEPS You are cleared to proceed. We're starting our approach. KLAXON HONKS Inform the Commander that Lord Vader's shuttle has arrived. Sir. HYDRAULICS WHINE BREATHING RASPS Lord Vader. An unexpected pleasure. We're honoured by your presence. You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule. My men are working as fast as they can. Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them. I tell you, this station will be operational as planned. The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation. But he asks the impossible. I need more men. Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives. The Emperor's coming here? That's correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress. We shall double our efforts. I hope so, Commander - for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am. BLEEPS Of course, I'm worried. And you should be too. Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never returned from here. BLEEPS Don't be so sure. BLEEPS If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short-circuit. BLEEPS BLEEPS R2, are you sure this is the right place? BLEEPS I'd better knock, I suppose. BLEEPS There doesn't seem to be anyone here. Let's go back and tell Master Luke. (Jabbers) Gichen gayka gooka? Goodness gracious me! Anka! Aichu hapilinki?

(Grunts) I am Luke Skywalker, Jedi knight and friend to Captain Solo. I know that you are powerful, mighty Jabba, and that your anger with Solo must be equally powerful. I seek an audience with your greatness to bargain for Solo's life. (Guffaws) GENERAL LAUGHTER ECHOES With your wisdom, I'm sure we can work out a mutually beneficial arrangement which will enable us to avoid any unpleasant confrontations. As a token of my goodwill, I present to you a gift - these two droids. What did he say? BLEEPS Both are hardworking and will serve you well. This can't be! R2, you're playing the wrong message. (Cackles evilly) Master bargain it tooan knight? Is no Jedi! We're doomed! R2, look! Captain Solo. And he's still frozen in carbonite.

How many languages do you speak? I am fluent in over 6 million forms of communication and... Splendid. We have been without an interpreter since our master got angry with our last protocol droid and disintegrated him. Disintegrated? SPARKS FIZZ Aaaargh! Oh! Guard, this protocol droid might be useful. Fit him with a restraining bolt and take him up to His Excellency's main audience chamber. R2! Don't leave me! Oh! (Growls) BLEEPS BLEEPS You're a feisty little one.

I hate long waits. (Cackles maliciously) You'll therefore be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon - nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlacc. Doesn't sound so bad. In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over 1,000 years. Aaaaargh! Let's pass on that, huh? You should've bargained, Jabba. Yar janee ju.

Thanks for comin' after me. Now I owe you one. BLEEPS BLEEPS That's right, R2 - we're going to the Dagobah System. BLEEPS I've a promise to keep... ..to an old friend. OMINOUS MUSIC ENGINES ROAR OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES BREATHING RASPS Rise, my friend. The Death Star will be completed on schedule. You've done well, Lord Vader. And now I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker. Yes, my master. Patience, my friend. In time, he will seek you out. And when he does, you must bring him before me. He has grown strong. Only together can we turn him to the dark side of the Force. As you wish. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen. (Laughs wickedly) BLEEPS Hmmm. Hmm. That face you make - look I so old to young eyes? No, of course not. Well, I do. (Coughs) Yes, I do. Sick have I become. Mmm, old and weak. When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not! (Laughs) (Coughs) Soon will I rest - yes. Forever sleep. Hmmm. Earned it, I have. Master Yoda, you can't die. Strong am I with the Force, but not that strong. Twilight is upon me. And soon night must fall. That is the way of things. The way of the Force. But I need your help. I've come back to complete the training. No more training do you require. Already know you that which you need. Then I AM a Jedi. Oh! (Coughs) Not yet. One thing remains. Vader. You must confront Vader. Then, only then, a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will. Master Yoda... Is Darth Vader my father? Rest I need. Yes...rest. Yoda, I must know. Your father he is. Told you, did he? Yes. Mmmm. Unexpected this is. And unfortunate. Unfortunate that I know the truth? No! Uh... Unfortunate that you rushed to face him. That incomplete was your training. That not ready for the burden were you. I'm sorry. Remember - a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware... ..anger, fear, aggression - the dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. (Groans) Luke... Luke! Do not... Do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor... ..or suffer your father's fate you will. Luke, when gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke... ..the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned. Luke... Mmm... There is...another... ..Sky... ..walker... THUNDER RUMBLES MELANCHOLY MUSIC BLEEPS BLEEPS BLEEPS (Sadly) BLEEPS I can't do it, R2. BLEEPS I can't go on alone. OBI-WAN KENOBI: Yoda will always be with you. Obi-Wan! BIRDS CRY AND INSECTS CHIRP Why didn't you tell me? You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father. Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true... ..from a certain point of view. A certain point of view? Luke, you'll find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. Anakin was a good friend. When I first knew him, your father was already a great pilot but I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong. There is still good in him. He's more machine now than man. Twisted and evil. I can't do it, Ben. You cannot escape your destiny. You must face Darth Vader again. I can't kill my own father. Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope. Yoda spoke of another. The other he spoke of is your twin sister. But I have no sister. Mmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I do, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous. Leia! Leia's my sister. Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down, Luke. They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Emperor. DRAMATIC MUSIC Well, look at you! A general, huh? Someone must've told them about my manoeuvre at the Battle of Tenev. I just said you were a fair pilot. I didn't know they wanted a leader for this crazy attack. I'm surprised they didn't ask you. Who says they didn't? But I ain't crazy. You're the respectable one, remember? BELL DINGS The Emperor has made a critical error. It's time for our attack. The data from the Bothan spies pinpoints the exact location of the Emperor's new battle-station. We also know 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. Many Bothans died to bring us this information. Admiral Ackbar, please. You can see here the Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor. Although the weapons systems on this Death Star are not yet operational, the Death Star does have a strong defence mechanism. 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 perimeter while the fighters fly into the superstructure and attempt to knock out the main reactor. General Calrissian has volunteered to lead the fighter attack. Good luck. You're gonna need it. 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. Sounds dangerous. Who's gonna pull that off? General Solo, is your strike team assembled? My team's ready. I don't have a command crew for the shuttle. (Yowls) It's gonna be rough, pal. I didn't want to speak for you. (Yowls affirmatively) That's one. General, count me in. I'm with you too. What is it? Ask me again some time. Luke. Hi, Han. Chewy. (Moans) BLEEPS I'd hardly say exciting. Look, I want you to take her. I mean it - take her. You need all the help you can get. She's the fleet's fastest ship. Alright, old buddy. I know what she means to you. I'll take good care of her. She won't get a scratch. Alright? Right. I've got your promise - not a scratch? Would you get going, you pirate? Good luck. You too. You got it warmed? Coming up. (Chewbacca yelps) The Empire didn't have Wookiees in mind when they designed her, Chewy. (Moans) Hey, are you awake? Yeah, I just got a funny feeling. Like I won't see her again. (Moans) Come on, General. Let's move. Right. Chewy, let's see what this piece of junk can do. Ready, everybody? All set. BLEEPS Here we go again. Alright, hang on. VADER: What is thy bidding, my master? Send the fleet to the far side of Endor. There it will stay until called for. What of the reports of the rebel fleet massing near Celeste? It is of no concern. Soon the rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us. Your work here is finished, my friend. Await my orders at the command ship. Yes, my master. If they don't go for this we're out of here quick, Chewy. RADIO: We have you on our screen now. Please identify. Shuttle Tydirium. Requesting deactivation of the deflector shield. Shuttle Tydirium, transmit the clearance code for shield passage. (Growls) Transmission commencing. Now we find out if that code is worth what we paid. It'll work. It'll work. (Moans) Vader's on that ship. Don't get jittery, Luke. There are a lot of command ships. (Growls) Keep your distance though, Chewy. But don't look like you're keeping your distance. (Moans) I don't know. Fly casual. (Moans) Where is that shuttle going? Shuttle Tydirium, what is your cargo and destination? SOLO: Parts and technical crew for the Forest Moon. Do they have a code clearance? It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them. I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come. It's your imagination, kid. Come on - let's keep some optimism here. Shall I hold them? No. Leave them to me. I will deal with them myself. As you wish, my lord. Carry on. They're not going for it, Chewy. (Moans) Shuttle Tydirium, deactivation of the shield will commence immediately. Follow your present course. OK. I told you it was going to work. (Growls) No problem. I told you it was dangerous here. BIRD AND ANIMAL NOISES Shall we try and go around? It'll take time. This whole party will be for nothing if they see us. (Yowls softly) Chewy and I will handle this. You stay here. Quietly. There might be more of them out there. Hey, it's me. (Moans) TWIG SNAPS Go for help! Go! Great! Come on. Over there! Two more of them! I see them. Wait, Leia! Hey, wait! Jam their comlinks. Centre switch. Move closer. Get alongside that one. Oh! Keep on that one. I'll take these two. Aah! Aaaah! BLEEPS BLEEPS General Solo, somebody's coming. Oh! Luke. (Moans) Where's Leia? She didn't come back? I thought she was with you. We got separated. We'd better find her. The whole squad meets at the shield generator at 03:00. R2, we'll need your scanners. BLEEPS Don't worry, Master Luke. We know what to do. And you said it was pretty here. (Squeaks) (Gasps) (Shrieks) Cut it out! (Growls) Wooga tya goba fingawa! I'm not going to hurt you. (Groans) Tu tya! Well, looks like I'm stuck here. (Squeals) Trouble is, I don't know where here is. Maybe you can help me. Come on - sit down. (Growls) I promise I won't hurt you. Now come here. (Growls) Alright. You want something to eat? Koocha! Ooooh! A telu! That's right. Come on. Goonda! (Shrieks) E fy tahucha! Nyet ya! (Growls) Look - it's a hat. It's not going to hurt you - look. You're a jittery little thing, aren't you? Ooh! (Pants) What is it? (Whispers) A keata! WHISTLING NOISES (Sniffs) Na nayuta! E cha wumma! (Growls) E cha wumma, yuda! Yup! Yup! Freeze! Come on - get up. Go get your ride and take her back to base. Yes, sir. Whooa! What the...? A-cha! Whoo! Ya-cha! Come on. Let's get out of here. Whoo ta hay! Go, yum. Yub-yub! E cha wa hoo, yub-yub! I told you to remain on the command ship. A small rebel force has penetrated the shield and landed on Endor. Yes, I know. My son is with them. Are you sure? I have felt him, my master. Strange that I have not. I wonder if your feelings on this matter are clear, Lord Vader. They are clear, my master. Then you must go to the Sanctuary Moon and wait for him. HE will come to ME? I have foreseen it. His compassion for you will be his undoing. He will come to you and then you will bring him before me. As you wish. Luke! Luke! Oh, Master Luke. (Moans mournfully) There's two more wrecked speeders back there. And I found this. I'm afraid that R2's sensors can find no trace of Princess Leia. I hope she's alright. (Moans) What, Chewy? (Yowls) What, Chewy? Hey, I don't get it. (Moans) It's just a dead animal, Chewy. Chewy, no, wait! Don't! Nice work. (Yowls) Great, Chewy. Great - always thinking with your stomach. Let's just figure out how to get down. Han, can you reach my lightsabre? Yeah, sure! BLADE WHIRRS R2, I'm not sure that's such a good idea. It's a very long dro-o-p! BLEEPS EWOK SOUNDS Wh...? Hey. Point that thing someplace else. (They argue in Ewok language) Hey! Han, don't. It'll be alright. Kiru te kenay! Oooh! Chewy, give him your crossbow. (Yelps) Oh, my head! (Ewoks gasp) Oh, my goodness. (Ewoks converse) CHANTING Treta dolgrar, e so yoto amuno nocar. Ek wos wyse? Mara ishuwain! Do you understand anything they're saying? Oh, yes, Master Luke. Remember I am fluent in over 6 million forms... What are you telling them? "Hello," I think. I could be mistaken. They're using a very primitive dialect. But I do believe they think I am some sort of god. R2 BLEEPS (Roars) Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this? I beg your pardon, General Solo, but that wouldn't be proper. Proper? It's against my programming to impersonate a deity. Why, you... (Ewoks chatter excitedly) (Growls fiercely) My mistake. He's an old friend of mine. EWOK WAR CRIES (Sounds horn) DRUMMING AND HOWLING Hey. BLEEPS (Moans) I have a really bad feeling about this. HOWLING A toyum na, a toyum no! Hot tagoi! E kotrum mapea.

TRIBAL DRUMS AND SINGING Somehow I got the feeling that didn't help us very much. 3P0, tell them if they don't do as you wish, you'll become angry and use your magic. But Master Luke, what magic? I couldn't possibly. Just tell them. Horaway manawu! Torronto gosh! (All gasp) Hosh, bosh! Terraway, hoitu ustu gara. U weda toya! BOOM! (Ewoks talk excitedly) You see, Master Luke, they didn't believe me, just as I said they wouldn't. Huh, well... DRUMMING AND WHOOPING What's happening? Put me down! Help!

Uma preta... Hurry up, will ya? I haven't got all day. Luke, what's wrong? Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother? Just a little bit. She died when I was very young. What do you remember? Just images, really. Feelings. Tell me. (Sighs) She was very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why are you asking me this? I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her. Luke, tell me what's troubling you. Vader is here. Now. On this moon. How do you know? I've felt his presence. He's come for me. He can feel when I'm near. That's why I have to go. As long as I stay I'm endangering the group and our mission here. I have to face him. Why? He is my father. Your father? There's more. It won't be easy for you to hear it but you must. If I don't return, you're the Alliance's only hope. Luke, don't talk that way. You have a power I don't understand...and could never have. You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time, you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it...and... ..my sister has it. Yes. It's you, Leia. I know. Somehow... ..I've always known. Then you know why I have to face him. No! Luke, run away! Far away! If he can feel your presence, then leave this place. I wish I could go with you. No, you don't. You've always been strong. But why must you confront him? Because...there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try. Hey, what's goin' on? Nothing. I...I just want to be alone for a little while. Nothing? Come on, tell me. What's goin' on? I...I can't tell you. Could you tell Luke? Is that who you could tell? I... Ah... POIGNANT MUSIC PLAYS I'm sorry. Hold me. MENACING MUSIC ENGINE WHINES OMINOUS MUSIC This is a rebel that surrendered to us. He denies it, but I believe there are more. I request permission to conduct further searches of the area. He was armed only with this. DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS Good work, Commander. Leave us. Conduct your search and bring his companions to me. Yes, my lord. The Emperor has been expecting you. I know, Father. So...you have accepted the truth. I have accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father. That name no longer has any meaning for me. It is the name of your true self. You've only forgotten. I know there is good in you. The Emperor hasn't driven it from you fully. That was why you couldn't destroy me. That's why you won't bring me to your Emperor now. LIGHTSABRE THROBS MENACINGLY I see you have constructed a new lightsabre. Your skills are complete. Indeed, you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen. Come with me. Obi-Wan once thought as you do. You don't know the power of the dark side. I MUST obey my master. I will not turn, and you'll be forced to kill me. If that is your destiny. Search your feelings, Father. You can't do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate. It is too late for me, son. OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force. He is your master now. Then my father is truly dead. (Growls) ENGINE ROARS The main entrance to the control bunker is on the far side of that landing platform. This isn't going to be easy. Hey, don't worry. Chewy and me got into places more heavily guarded than this. Dyem-dyem. Nyat u. Kun ketchit nabu, nyem nyetna? Yatcha! Lega, lega! Ze boogie-oogie! What's he saying? There's a secret entrance on the other side of the ridge. DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS Admiral, we're in position. All fighters accounted for. Proceed with the countdown. All groups assume attack coordinates. Atiala muryara, muryara mokay, ah? Don't worry! My friend's down there. We'll have that shield down on time. Onay torquin dutu muni. Or this will be the shortest offensive of all time. All craft, prepare to jump into hyperspace on my mark. Alright, stand by. ENGINES ROAR Nyet nyet! (Whistles) (Mutters) Back door, huh? Good idea. (They chat quietly) Bat, tua. It's only a few guards. It shouldn't be too much trouble. Danyka, nyka da goof. Goo boo. Nagoo? Agoo, tak tak? It only takes one to sound the alarm. Then we'll do it real quiet, like. Oh my! Princess Leia! I'm afraid our furry companion has gone and done something rather rash. (Groans) Oh no! There goes our surprise attack. ENGINE ROARS Look! Over there! Stop him! Not bad for a little fur ball! There's only one left. You stay here. We'll take care of this. (Mutters) BLEEPS I have decided that we shall stay here. Whoo! Yahoo! Whoa! (Yells) (Squeals) Hey! (Groans) OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS Welcome, young Skywalker. I have been expecting you. You'll no longer need those. Guards, leave us. I'm looking forward to completing your training. In time you will call me master. You're gravely mistaken. You won't convert me as you did my father. Oh, no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken... ..about a great many things. His lightsabre. Ah, yes. A Jedi's weapon. Much like your father's. By now you must know your father can never be turned from the dark side. So will it be with you. You're wrong. Soon I'll be dead and you with me. (Laughs malevolently) Perhaps you refer to the imminent attack of your rebel fleet? Yes? I assure you we are quite safe from your friends here. Your overconfidence is your weakness. Your faith in your friends is yours. It is pointless to resist, my son. Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Your friends up there on the Sanctuary Moon are walking into a trap as is your rebel fleet. It was I who allowed the Alliance to know the location of the shield generator. It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops await them. Oh... ..I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive. OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS Alright! Up! Move, come on! Quickly! Quickly! Chewy! (Chewy growls) Han! Hurry! The fleet will be here any moment! Charges. Come on, come on! Oh, my! They'll be captured! Eecha watta! Wait! Wait! Come back! R2, stay with me! BLEEPS Freeze! Aaaah! You rebel scum! (Chewy groans) (Growls fiercely) DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS ENGINES ROAR All wings report in. Red leader, standing by. Grey leader, standing by. Green leader, standing by. Lock X-foils in attack positions. May the Force be with us. Domiti viti mira omati odi! Gotta get some reading on that shield - up or down. Mata gaye atu. How could they jam us if they don't know... ..if we're coming. Break off the attack! The shield is still up! I get no reading. Are you sure? Pull up! All craft, pull up! DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS Take evasive action! Green group, stay close to holding sector and shelter. Admiral, we have enemy ships in sector 27! It's a trap! DRAMATIC MUSIC INTENSIFIES Fighters coming in! There's too many of them! Accelerate to attack speed! Draw their fire away from the cruisers. Copy, gold leader. EMPEROR: Come, boy. See for yourself. From here you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance and the end of your insignificant rebellion. You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger! With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant. No. It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father... ..are now... ..MINE! DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS STORMTROOPER: Alright, move it! Hello! I say, over there! Were you looking for me? (Growls) Bring those two down here! DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS Well, they're on their way. Are you sure this was a good idea? Freeze! Oh! Don't move! We surrender. (Ewoks yell) (Blows horn) (Blows horn) Aaaah! (Growls) SHOUTING Yaaah! Ah! Hella combu! (Ewoks cheer excitedly) Code's changed! We need R2. Here's the terminal. R2, where are you? We need you at the bunker right away! Going? What do you mean going? BLEEPS Going where, R2? No, wait, R2! This is no time for heroics! Come back! Ya! Watch yourself, Wedge. Three from above! Red three, two. Pull in. Got him. Three coming in at 20 degrees. Cut left. I'll take the leader. They're heading for the medical frigate. MAN: Pressure steady. Only the fighters are attacking. What are the star destroyers waiting for? We're in attack position now, sir. Hold here. We're not going to attack? I have orders from the Emperor himself. He has something special planned. We only need to keep them from escaping. EMPEROR: As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully-armed and operational battle-station. Fire at will, Commander. DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS Fire! (Squeaks) Ah-how! That blast came from the Death Star! That thing is operational! Home one - this is gold leader. All craft prepare to retreat. We won't get another chance at this, Admiral. We have no choice, General Calrissian. Our cruisers can't repel firepower of that magnitude. Han will have that shield down. We've gotta give him more time. (Ewoks wail) Ugh! WAILING CONTINUES Aaluhem! Yaaa! Ah! Ugh! Ah! Ugh! Ah! Ah! Ugh! Ah! BLEEPS We're coming! Ahhh! BLEEPS Come on! Come on! (BLEEPS MELODICALLY) Oh, R2, hurry! (SCREECHES) My goodness! BLEEPS Why did you have to be so brave? (WHIMPERS MOURNFULLY) SERIES OF SMALL EXPLOSIONS Well, I suppose I could hot-wire this thing. I'll cover you. ELECTRICITY BUZZES DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS (Ewoks whine agitatedly) (Cries) (Mumbles) Manala! Manala! (Groans) Wottay? (Groans) (Yabber agitatedly) Yes. Move as close as you can. Engage those star destroyers at point-blank range. At that close range we won't last long against those star destroyers. We'll last longer than we will against that Death Star. We might just take some with us. She's gonna blow! I'm hit! Your fleet is lost. And your friends on the Endor Moon will not survive. There is no escape... my young apprentice. The Alliance will die... ..as will your friends. (Whispers) Good! I can feel your anger. I am defenceless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete. LIGHTSABRES WHIRR All your entertainment is in one place.

(Ewoks rejoice) (Squeaks happily) I think I got it. I got it! Ahh! (Gasps in pain) Princess Leia, are you alright? It's not bad. MAN: Freeze! Oh, dear! Don't move. I love you. I know. Hands up! Stand up! ENGINE RUMBLES Stay back. (Howls delightedly) Chewy! Aeeaah! Get down here. She's wounded. Wrrrahhh. No. Wait! Whhaea? I got an idea. LIGHTSABRES HISS Ha! Ahhh! (The Emperor chuckles) Good! Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you. (Chuckles evilly) Obi-Wan has taught you well. I will not fight you, Father. You are unwise to lower your defences. LIGHTSABRES CRACKLE MENACINGLY (Pants heavily) Your thoughts betray you, Father. I feel the good in you. The conflict. There is no conflict. You couldn't kill me before, and I don't believe you'll destroy me now. You underestimate the power of the dark side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny. THE EMPEROR: Good! Good! Watch out, squad, at .06. I'm on it, gold leader. Good shot, red two. Come on, Han, old buddy. Don't let me down. It's over, Commander. The rebels are have routed. They're fleeing into the woods. We need reinforcements to continue the pursuit. Send three squads to help. Open the back door. Sir! (Ewoks gibber excitedly) Throw me another charge. Wowoa! You cannot hide forever, Luke. I will not fight you! Give yourself to the dark side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes! Your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... ..sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will. (Screams) No! Ahhh! (Emperor chuckles evilly) Good! Your hate has made you powerful. Now...fulfil your destiny... ..and take your father's place at my side. Never! I'll never turn to the dark side. You've failed, Your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me. So be it... ..Jedi! Move! Move! The shield is down. Commence attack on the Death Star's main reactor. We're on our way. Red group, gold group - all fighters follow me. I told you they'd do it. (Laughs) If you will not be turned... ..you will be destroyed. Ah! Young fool, only now at the end do you understand. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side. Ahhh! You have paid the price for your lack of vision. Father, please. Ah! Help me! (In agony) Ahhh! Now, young Skywalker... ..you will die. (Luke groans feebly) DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS LIGHTNING STRIKES VIOLENTLY (Screams) No. NO! (Screams) Ahhh! (Wheezes) I'm going in. Otteeote. Here goes nothing. Connect to the strongest power source. It should be the power generator. Stay alert. We could run out of space real fast. Split up. Return to the surface. Maybe we'll get those tie-fighters to follow you. Copy, gold leader. Kwah. Ayoosere? That was too close! We've got to give those fighters more time. Concentrate all fire on that super star destroyer. Sir, we've lost our bridge deflector shield. Intensify the forward batteries. Nothing should get through. Intensify forward firepower! Ahhhh! Too late! CHEERING AND CLAPPING ALARM WHOOPS Luke, help me take this mask off. But you'll die. Nothing... can stop that now. Just for once...let me look on you with my own eyes. LOUD EXPLOSIONS BLAST IN BACKGROUND (With difficulty) Now...go, my son! Leave me. (Gasps) No! You're coming with me. I'll not leave you here. I've got to save you. You already have...Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister... ..you were right. Father! I won't leave you. MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS There it is. Reds, go for the northern power regulator. Copy, gold leader. I'm already on my way up. Move the fleet away from the Death Star. TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYS Yee-ha! Ya! (Ewoks giggle, gibber and squeak) Yoo-hoo! Yawooh! (Growls happily) BLEEPS They did it! (All yelp and squeal happily) I'm sure Luke wasn't on that thing when it blew. He wasn't. I can feel it. You love him. Don't you? Yes. Alright. I understand. Fine. When he comes back... ..I won't get in the way. Oh, no. It's not like that at all. He's my brother. Eluta! Yip Yip! Eluta! Yipya gunga! (Giggles) Ya! Eluta!
