        device. He has second thoughts.

BEN'S VOICE: Let go, Luke.

           A grim determination sweeps across Luke's face as he closes
        his eyes and starts to mumble Ben's training to himself.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        Luke's fighter streaks through the trench.

INTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S COCKPIT.

VADER: The Force is strong with this one!

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        Vader follows Luke's X-wing down the trench.

INTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING -- COCKPIT.

        Luke looks to the targeting device, then away as he hears
        Ben's voice.

BEN'S VOICE: Luke, trust me.

           Luke's hand reaches for the control panel and presses the
        button. The targeting device moves away.

INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST -- WAR ROOM.

        Leia and the others stand watching the projected screen.

BASE VOICE: (over speaker) His computer's off. Luke, you switched off
your targeting computer. What's wrong?

LUKE: (over speaker) Nothing. I'm all right.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        Luke's ship streaks ever close to the exhaust port.

INTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING -- COCKPIT.

        Luke looks at the Death Star surface streaking by.

EXTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER.

        Artoo-Detoo turns his head from side to side, beeping in
        anticipation.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        The three TIE fighters, manned by Vader and his two wingmen,
        follow Luke's X-wing down the trench.

INTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S COCKPIT.

        Vader maneuvers his controls as he looks at his doomed target.
        He presses the fire buttons on his control sticks. Laserfire
        shoots toward Luke's X-wing fighter.

EXTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER.

        A large burst of Vader's laserfire engulfs Artoo. The arms go
        limp on the smoking little droid as he makes a high-pitched
        sound.

INTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER -- COCKPIT.

        Luke looks frantically back over his shoulder at Artoo.

EXTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER.

        Smoke billows out around little Artoo and sparks begin to fly.

LUKE: I've lost Artoo!

           Artoo's beeping sounds die out.

INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST -- WAR ROOM.

        Leia and the others stare intently at the projected screen,
        while Threepio watches the Princess. Lights representing the
        Death Star and targets glow brightly.

MASSASSI INTERCOM VOICE: The Death Star has cleared the planet. The
Death Star has cleared the planet.

INTERIOR: DEATH STAR -- CONTROL ROOM.

        Tarkin glares at the projected target screen.

DEATH STAR INTERCOM VOICE: Rebel base, in range.

TARKIN: You may fire when ready.

DEATH STAR INTERCOM VOICE: Commence primary ignition.

           An officer reaches up and pushes buttons on the control
        panel, as green lighted buttons turn to red.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        The three TIE fighters zoom down the Death Star trench in
        pursuit of Luke, never breaking formation.

INTERIOR: LUKE'S COCKPIT.

        Luke looks anxiously at the exhaust port.

INTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S COCKPIT.

        Vader adjusts his control sticks, checking his projected
        targeting screen.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        Luke's ship barrels down the trench.

INTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S COCKPIT.

        Vader's targeting computer swings around into position. Vader
        takes careful aim on Luke's X-wing fighter.

VADER: I have you now.

           He pushes the fire buttons.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        The three TIE fighters move in on Luke. As Vader's center
        fighter unleashes a volley of laserfire, one of the TIE ships
        at his side is hit and explodes into flame. The two remaining
        ships continue to move in.

INTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER -- COCKPIT.

        Luke looks about, wondering whose laserfire destroyed Vader's
        wingman.

INTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S COCKPIT.

        Vader is taken by surprise, and looks out from his cockpit.

VADER: What?

INTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S WINGMAN -- COCKPIT.

        Vader's wingman searches around him trying to locate the
        unknown attacker.

INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON -- COCKPIT.

        Han and Chewbacca grin from ear to ear.

HAN: (yelling) Yahoo!

EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

        The Millennium Falcon heads right at the two TIE fighters.
        It's a collision course.

INTERIOR: WINGMAN'S COCKPIT.

        The wingman spots the pirateship coming at him and warns the
        Dark Lord.

WINGMAN: Look out!

EXTERIOR: DEATH STAR TRENCH.

        Vader's wingman panics at the sight of the oncoming pirate
        starship and veers radically to one side, colliding with
        Vader's TIE fighter in the process. Vader's wingman crashes
        into the side wall of the trench and explodes. Vader's damaged
        ship spins out of the trench with a damaged wing.

EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

        Vader's ship spins out of control with a bent solar fin,
        heading for deep space.

INTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S COCKPIT.

        Vader turns round and round in circles as his ship spins
        into space.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        Solo's ship moves in toward the Death Star trench.

INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON -- COCKPIT.

        Solo, smiling, speaks to Luke over his headset mike.

HAN: (into mike) You're all clear, kid.

INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST -- WAR ROOM.

        Leia and the others listen to Solo's transmission.

HAN: (over speaker) Now let's blow this thing and go home!

INTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER -- COCKPIT.

        Luke looks up and smiles. He concentrates on the exhaust port,
        then fires his laser torpedoes.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

        Luke's torpedoes shoot toward the port and seems to simply
        disappear into the surface and not explode. But the shots do
        find their mark and have gone into the exhaust port and are
        heading for the main reactor.

INTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER -- COCKPIT.

        Luke throws his head back in relief.

INTERIOR: DEATH STAR.

        An Imperial soldier runs to the control panel board and pulls
        the attack lever as the board behind him lights up.

INTERCOM VOICE: Stand by to fire at Rebel base.

EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

        Two X-wings, a Y-wing, and the pirateship race toward Yavin in
        the distance.

INTERIOR: DEATH STAR.

        Several Imperial soldiers, flanking a pensive Grand Moff
        Tarkin, busily push control levers and buttons.

INTERCOM VOICE: Standing by.

           The rumble of a distant explosion begins.

EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

        The Rebel ships race out of sight, leaving the moon-like Death
        Star alone against a blanket of stars. Several small flashes
        appear on the surface. The Death Star bursts into a supernova,
        creating a spectacular heavenly display.

INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON -- COCKPIT.

HAN: Great shot, kid. That was one in a million.

INTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER -- COCKPIT.

        Luke is at ease, and his eyes are closed.

BEN'S VOICE: Remember, the Force will be with you...always.

           The ship rocks back and forth.

EXTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S TIE FIGHTER.

        Vader's ship spins off into space.

EXTERIOR: SPACE.

        The Rebel ships race toward the fourth moon of Yavin.

INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST -- MAIN HANGAR.

        Luke climbs out of his starship fighter and is cheered by a
        throng of ground crew and pilots. Luke climbs down the ladder
        as they all welcome him with laughter, cheers, and shouting.
           Princess Leia rushes toward him.

LEIA: Luke! Luke! Luke!

           She throws her arms around Luke and hugs him as they dance
        around in a circle. Solo runs in toward Luke and they embrace
        one another, slapping each other on the back.

HAN: (laughing) Hey! Hey!

LUKE: (laughing) I knew you'd come back! I just knew it!

HAN: Well, I wasn't gonna let you get all the credit and take all the
reward.

           Luke and Han look at one another, as Solo playfully shoves
        at Luke's face. Leia moves in between them.

LEIA: (laughing) Hey, I knew there was more to you than money.

           Luke looks toward the ship.

LUKE: Oh, no!

        The fried little Artoo-Detoo is lifted off the back of the
        fighter and carried off under the worried eyes of Threepio.

THREEPIO: Oh, my! Artoo! Can you hear me? Say something! (to mechanic)
You can repair him, can't you?

TECHNICIAN: We'll get to work on him right away.

THREEPIO: You must repair him! Sir, if any of my circuits or gears
will help, I'll gladly donate them.

LUKE: He'll be all right.

INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST -- MAIN THRONE ROOM.

        Luke, Han, and Chewbacca enter the huge ruins of the main
        temple. Hundreds of troops are lined up in neat rows. Banners
        are flying and at the far end stands a vision in white, the
        beautiful young Senator Leia. Luke and the others solemnly
        march up the long aisle and kneel before Senator Leia. From
        one side of the temple marches a shined-up and fully repaired
        Artoo-Detoo. He waddles up to the group and stands next to an
        equally pristine Threepio, who is rather awestruck by the
        whole event. Chewbacca is confused. Dodonna and several other
        dignitaries sit on the left of the Princess Leia. Leia is
        dressed in a long white dress and is staggeringly beautiful.
        She rises and places a gold medallion around Han's neck. He
        winks at her. She then repeats the ceremony with Luke, who is
        moved by the event. They turn and face the assembled troops,
        who all bow before them. Chewbacca growls and Artoo beeps with
        happiness.

                                    FADE OUT
