Dialog transcript |
Han SoloI saw them! I saw them!Leia Organa SoloSaw what?Han SoloStar Destroyers, two of them, coming right at us.Threepio bumps and bangs his way into the cockpit.C-3POSir, sir! Might I suggest...Han SoloLeia, shut him up or shut him down!Chewie, check the deflector shield!Chewbacca barks a reply as he readjusts an overhead switch.Han SoloOh, great. Well, we can still outmaneuver them. |
Dialog transcript |
The Millennium Falcon races toward one of the huge oncoming Star Destroyers. Suddenly, the Falcon starts into a deep dive straight down, closely followed by four TIE fighters. The underside of the Star Destroyer continues on a collision course with two oncoming Star Destroyers. Slowly, it starts to veer to the left. Out the front window, the two approaching Star Destroyers can be seen veering to the left.Lorth NeedaTake evasive action!Alarms sound all over the huge ship. The two other Star Destroyers get closer, one of them moving over the bridge so close that it makes brushing contact with it. |
Dialog transcript |
Han SoloPrepare to make the jump to lightspeed.C-3POBut, sir!Leia Organa SoloThey're getting closer!Han SoloOh yeah? Watch this.Expectantly, they look out the cockpit window as stars do not go into hyperspace, but just sit there. Han and Chewie look at each other and are thrown into an acute state of concern.Leia Organa SoloWatch what?Han tries again. Still nothing.Han SoloI think we're in trouble.C-3POIf I may say so, sir, I noticed earlier that the hyperdrive motivator has been damaged. It's impossible to go to lightspeed!Han SoloWe're in trouble! |
Dialog transcript |
Han SoloHorizontal boosters...!ChewbaccaAwwwr!Han SoloAlluvial dampers...! Well that's not it.ChewbaccaAwwwr!Han SoloBring me the hydrospanners!Chewbacca hurries over to the pit and places the tools on the edge.Han SoloI don't know how we're going to get out of this one.Suddenly, a loud thump hits the side of the Falcon, causing it to lurch radically. Chewie barks. The tools fall into the pit on top of Han.Han SoloOww! Chewie!More turbulence rocks the ship.Han SoloThat was no laser blast! Something hit us.Leia Organa SoloHan, get up here!Han SoloCome on, Chewie!Han climbs out of the hold like a shot. Both he and Chewie run out of the hold and toward the cockpit. |
Dialog transcript |
Leia Organa SoloAsteroids!Han SoloOh, no! Chewie, set two-seven-one.Leia Organa SoloWhat are you doing? You're not actually going into an asteroid field?Han SoloThey'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they?Leia Organa SoloYou don't have to do this to impress me.C-3POSir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one.Han SoloNever tell me the odds! |
Dialog transcript |
Han SoloYou said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.Leia Organa SoloI take it back. We're going to get pulverized if we stay out here much longer.Han SoloI'm not going to argue with that.C-3POPulverized?Han SoloI'm going in closer to one of those big ones.Leia Organa SoloCloser?C-3POCloser?!ChewbaccaAwwwr?! |
Dialog transcript |
C-3POOh, this is suicide!Han notices something on his main scope and nudges Chewbacca, pointing.Han SoloThere. That looks pretty good.Leia Organa SoloWhat looks pretty good?Han SoloYeah. That'll do nicely.C-3POExcuse me, ma'am, but where are we going?The Millennium Falcon dives into the huge crater and disappears.Leia Organa SoloI hope you know what you're doing.Han SoloYeah, me too. |
Dialog transcript |
Admiral Piett hesitates in the entryway to Vader's private cubicle. After a moment, he steps into the room and pauses at the surprising sight before him. Darth Vader, his back turned, is silhouetted in the gloom on the far side of the chamber. Among the various apparatuses surrounding them, a respirator tube now retracts from Vader's uncovered head. The head is bald with a mass of ugly scar tissue covering it. The black droid then lowers the mask and helmet onto Vader's head. When it is in place, the Dark Lord turns to face Piett.Darth VaderYes, Admiral?Firmus PiettOur ships have sighted the Millennium Falcon, lord. But... it has entered an asteroid field and we cannot risk...Darth VaderAsteroids do not concern me, Admiral. I want that ship and not excuses.Firmus PiettYes, lord. |
Dialog transcript |
Han SoloI'm going to shut down everything but the emergency power systems. C-3POSir, I'm almost afraid to ask, but... does that include shutting me down, too?ChewbaccaRaawk (yes)Han SoloNo, I need you to talk to the Falcon, find out what's wrong with the hyperdrive.Suddenly, the ship lurches, causing all the loose items in the cockpit to go flying.C-3POSir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable.Han SoloNot entirely stable? I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewie, take the professor in the back and plug him into the hyperdrive.C-3POOh! Sometimes I just don't understand human behavior. After all, I'm only trying to do my job in the most... |
Dialog transcript |
Suddenly, the ship lurches again, throwing Leia across the cabin into Han's arms. Then, abruptly, the motion stops as suddenly as it started. With some surprise, Han and Leia realize they are in each other's arms.Leia Organa SoloLet go.Han SoloSshh!Leia Organa SoloLet go, please.Han SoloDon't get excited.Leia Organa SoloCaptain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited.Han SoloSorry, sweetheart. We haven't got time for anything else. |
Dialog transcript |
C-3POOh, where is Artoo when I need him?C-3POSir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has the most peculiar dialect. I believe, sir, it says that the power coupling on the negative axis has been polarized. I'm afraid you'll have to replace it.Han SoloWell, of course I'll have to replace it.Han hands a wire coil up to Chewie who is working near the ceiling.Han SoloHere! And Chewie...Han glances back at Threepio, then speaks quietly to Chewie so only he can hear.Han Solo... I think we'd better replace the negative power coupling. |
Dialog transcript |
Han SoloHey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.Leia Organa SoloWould you please stop calling me that?Han SoloSure, Leia.Leia Organa SoloOh, you make it so difficult sometimes.Han SoloI do, I really do. You could be a little nicer, though. Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm all right.Leia Organa SoloOccasionally... when you aren't acting like a scoundrel.Han SoloScoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that.With that, Han takes her hand and starts to massage it.Leia Organa SoloStop that.Han SoloStop what?Leia Organa SoloStop that! My hands are dirty.Han SoloMy hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?Leia Organa SoloAfraid?Han SoloYou're trembling.Leia Organa SoloI'm not trembling.Han SoloYou like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.Leia Organa SoloI happen to like nice men.Han SoloI'm a nice man.Leia Organa SoloNo, you're not. You're...Han kisses Leia, but suddenly, Threepio appears in the doorway, speaking excitedly. |
Dialog transcript |
Han SoloSir, sir! I've isolated the reverse power flux coupling.Han SoloThank you. Thank you very much.C-3POOh, you're perfectly welcome, sir. |
Dialog transcript |
Lorth Needa (from Avenger)... and that, Lord Vader, was the last time they appeared in any of our scopes. Considering the amount of damage we've sustained, they must have been destroyed.Darth Vader (from Executor)No, Captain, they're alive. I want every ship available to sweep the asteroid field until they are found. |
Dialog transcript |
Firmus PiettLord Vader.Darth VaderYes, Admiral, what is it?Firmus PiettThe Emperor commands you make contact with him.Darth VaderMove the ship out of the asteroid field so that we can send a clear transmission.Firmus PiettYes, my lord. |
Dialog transcript |
Darth VaderWhat is thy bidding, my master?PalpatineThere is a great disturbance in the Force.Darth VaderI have felt it.PalpatineWe have a new enemy - Luke Skywalker.Darth VaderYes, my master.PalpatineHe could destroy us.Darth VaderHe's just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him.PalpatineThe Force is strong with him. The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.Darth VaderIf he could be turned, he would become a powerful ally.PalpatineYes. Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?Darth VaderHe will join us or die, my master. |
Dialog transcript |
Leia Organa SoloThere's something out there.Han SoloWhere?Leia Organa SoloOutside, in the cave.C-3POThere it is. Listen! Listen!Han SoloI'm going out there.Leia Organa SoloAre you crazy?!Han SoloI just got this bucket back together. I'm not going to let something tear it apart.Han and Chewie grab their breath masks off a rack and hurry out. Leia follows.Leia Organa SoloThen I'm going with you.C-3POI think it might be better if I stay here and guard the ship. Oh, no. |
Dialog transcript |
Leia Organa SoloThis ground sure feels strange. It doesn't feel like rock at all.Han SoloThere's an awful lot of moisture in here.Leia Organa SoloI don't know. I have a bad feeling about this. |
Dialog transcript |
Han SoloWatch out!Han SoloYeah, that's what I thought. Mynock. Chewie, check the rest of the ship, make sure there aren't any more attached. They're chewing on the power cables.Leia Organa SoloMynocks?Han SoloGo on inside. We'll clean them off if there are any more. |
Dialog transcript |
Han SoloAll right, Chewie, let's get out of here!Leia Organa SoloThe Empire is still out there. I don't think it's wise to...Han SoloNo time to discuss this in committee.Leia Organa SoloI am not a committee! You can't make the jump to light-speed in this asteroid field...Han SoloSit down, sweetheart. We're taking off!C-3POLook!Han SoloI see it, I see it.Suddenly, a row of jagged white stalagmites and stalactites can be seen surrounding the entrance. And as the Falcon moves forward, the entrance to the cave grows ever smaller. Han pulls hard on the throttle, sending his ship surging forward.C-3POWe're doomed!Leia Organa SoloThe cave is collapsing.Han SoloThis is no cave.Leia Organa SoloWhat? |

Dialog transcript |
Firmus PiettLord Vader! My lord, we have them. |
Dialog transcript |
C-3POOh, thank goodness we're coming out of the asteroid field.Han SoloLet's get out of here. Ready for light-speed? One... two... three!Han pulls back on the hyperspace throttle and - nothing happens.Han SoloIt's not fair!ChewbaccaAwwwrr!Han SoloThe transfer circuits are working. It's not my fault!Leia Organa SoloNo light-speed?Han SoloIt's not my fault.C-3POSir, we just lost the main rear deflector shield. One more direct hit on the back quarter and we're done for.Han SoloTurn her around.ChewbaccaAwwrrr?Han SoloI said turn her around! I'm going to put all power in the front shield.Leia Organa SoloYou're going to attack them?!C-3POSir, the odds of surviving a direct assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer...Leia Organa SoloShut up! |
Dialog transcript |
Lorth NeedaThey're moving to attack position! Shields up!Needa and his men duck as the Falcon nears the bridge window. At the last minute, the Falcon veers off and out of sight. All is quiet.Lorth NeedaTrack them. They may come around for another pass.TRACKING OFFICERCaptain Needa, the ship no longer appears on our scopes.Lorth NeedaThey can't have disappeared. No ship that small has a cloaking device.TRACKING OFFICERWell, there's no trace of them, sir.COMMUNICATIONS OFFICERCaptain, Lord Vader demands an update on the pursuit.Lorth NeedaGet a shuttle ready.

Darth VaderApology accepted, Captain Needa.Firmus PiettLord Vader, our ships have completed their scan of the area and found nothing. If the Millennium Falcon went into light-speed, it'll be on the other side of the galaxy by now.Darth VaderAlert all commands. Calculate every possible destination along their last know trajectory.Firmus PiettYes, my lord. We'll find them.Darth VaderDon't fail me again, Admiral.Firmus PiettAlert all commands. Deploy the fleet. |
Dialog transcript |
C-3POCaptain Solo, this time you have gone too far.ChewbaccaGrrr!C-3PONo, I will not be quiet, Chewbacca. Why doesn't anyone listen to me?Han SoloChewie, the fleet is beginning to break up. Go back and stand by the manual release for the landing claw.C-3POI really don't see how that is going to help. Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances. The Empire may be gracious enough...Leia reaches over and shuts off Threepio, mid-sentence.Han SoloThank you.Leia Organa SoloWhat did you have in mind for your next move?Han SoloWell, if they follow standard Imperial procedure, they'll dump their garbage before they go to light-speed, then we just float away.Leia Organa SoloWith the rest of the garbage.Then what?Han SoloThen we've got to find a safe port somewhere around here. Got any ideas?Leia Organa SoloNo. Where are we?Han SoloThe Anoat system.Leia Organa SoloAnoat system. There's not much there.Han SoloNo. Well, wait. This is interesting. Lando.Leia Organa SoloLando system?Han SoloLando's not a system, he's a man. Lando Calrissian. He's a card player, gambler, scoundrel. You'd like him.Leia Organa SoloThanks.Han SoloBespin. It's pretty far, but I think we can make it.Leia Organa SoloA mining colony?Han SoloYeah, a Tibanna gas mine. Lando conned somebody out of it. We go back a long way, Lando and me.Leia Organa SoloCan you trust him?Han SoloNo. But he has no love for the Empire, I can tell you that.ChewbaccaArrww!Han SoloHere we go, Chewie. Stand by. Detach! |
