Did you hear that? They've shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness!
THREEPIO
We're doomed!
THREEPIO
There'll be no escape for the Princess this time.
THREEPIO
What's that?
THREEPIO
I should have known better than to trust the logic of a half-sized thermocapsulary dehousing assister...
THREEPIO
Hurry up! Come with me! What are you waiting for?! Get in gear!
LUKE
Artoo! Artoo-Detoo, where are you?
THREEPIO
At last! Where have you been?
THREEPIO
They're heading in this direction. What are we going to do? We'll be sent to the spice mines of Kessel or smashed into who knows what!
THREEPIO
Wait a minute, where are you going?
THREEPIO
The Death Star plans are not in the main computer.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Where are those transmissions you intercepted?
VADER
We intercepted no transmissions. Aaah... This is a consular ship. Were on a diplomatic mission.
REBEL OFFICER
If this is a consular ship... where is the Ambassador?
VADER
Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans and bring me the Ambassador. I want her alive!
VADER
There she is! Set for stun!
TROOPER
She'll be all right. Inform Lord Vader we have a prisoner.
TROOPER
Hey, you're not permitted in there. It's restricted. You'll be deactivated for sure..
THREEPIO
Don't call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease! Now come out before somebody sees you.
THREEPIO
Secret mission? What plans? What are you talking about? I'm not getting in there!
THREEPIO
I'm going to regret this.
THREEPIO
There goes another one.
CHIEF PILOT
Hold your fire. There are no life forms. It must have been short-circuited.
CAPTAIN
That's funny, the damage doesn't look as bad from out here.
THREEPIO
Are you sure this things safe?
THREEPIO
I've told you kids to slow down!
WOMAN
Did I hear a young noise blast through here?
FIXER
It was just Wormie on another rampage.
CAMIE
Shape it up you guys!... Biggs?
LUKE
I didn't know you were back! When did you get in?
LUKE
Just now. I wanted to surprise you, hot shot. I thought you'd be here... certainly didn't expect you to be out working.
BIGGS
The Academy didn't change you much... but you're back so soon? Hey, what happened, didn't you get your commission?
LUKE
Of course I got it. Signed aboard The Rand Ecliptic last week. First mate Biggs Darklighter at your service...... I just came back to say goodbye to all you unfortunate landlocked simpletons.
BIGGS
I almost forgot. There's a battle going on! Right here in our system. Come and look!
LUKE
Not again! Forget it.
DEAK
There they are!
LUKE
That's no battle, hot shot... they're just sitting there! Probably a freighter-tanker refueling.
BIGGS
But there was a lot of firing earlier...
LUKE
Hey, easy with those...
LUKE
Don't worry about it, Wormie.
CAMIE
I keep telling you, the Rebellion is a long way from here. I doubt if the Empire would even fight to keep this system. Believe me Luke, this planet is a big hunk of nothing...
FIXER
Lord Vader, I should have known. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit stillfor this, when they hear you've attacked a diplomatic...
LEIA
Don't play games with me, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. You passed directly through a restricted system. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
VADER
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan...
LEIA
You're a part of the Rebel Alliance... and a traitor. Take her away!
VADER
Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the Rebellion in the senate.
COMMANDER
I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to find their secret base!
VADER
you anything.
COMMANDER
Leave that to me. Send a distress signal and then inform the senate that all aboard were killed!
VADER
Lord Vader, the battle station plans are not aboard this ship! And no transmissions were made. An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting, but no life forms were aboard.
SECOND OFFICER
She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them. See to it personally, Commander. There'll be no one to stop us this time.
VADER
Yes, sir.
COMMANDER
How did I get into this mess? I really don't know how. We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.
THREEPIO
I've got to rest before I fall apart. My joints are almost frozen.
THREEPIO
What a desolate place this is.
THREEPIO
Where are you going?
THREEPIO
Well, I'm not going that way. It's much too rocky. This way is much easier.
THREEPIO
What makes you think there are settlements over there?
THREEPIO
Don't get technical with me.
THREEPIO
What mission? What are you talking about? I've had just about enough of you! Go that way! You'll be malfunctioning within a day, you nearsighted scrap pile!
THREEPIO
And don't let me catch you following me begging for help, because you won't get it.
THREEPIO
No more adventures. I'm not going that way.
THREEPIO
That malfunctioning little twerp. This is all his fault! He tricked me into going this way, but he'll do no better.
THREEPIO
Wait, what's that? A transport! I'm saved!
THREEPIO
Over here! Help! Please, help!
THREEPIO
... so I cut off my power, shut down the afterburners and came in low on Deak's trail. I was so close I thought I was going to fry my instruments. As it was I busted up the Skyhopper pretty bad. Uncle Owen was pretty upset. He grounded me for the rest of the season. You should have been there... it was fantastic.
LUKE
You ought to take it a little easy Luke. You may be the hottest bushpilot this side of Mos Eisley, but those little Skyhoppers are dangerous. Keep it up, and one day, whammo, you're going to be nothing more than a dark spot on the down side of a canyon wall.
BIGGS
Look who's talking. Now that you've been around those giant starships you're beginning to sound like my uncle. You've gotten soft in the city...
LUKE
I've missed you kid.
BIGGS
Well, things haven't been the same since you left, Biggs. It's been so...quiet.
LUKE
Luke, I didn't come back just to say goodbye... I shouldn't tell you this, but you're the only one I can trust... and if I don't come back, I want somebody to know.
BIGGS
What are you talking about?
LUKE
I made some friends at the Academy. ... when our frigate goes to one of the central systems, we're going to jump ship and join the Alliance...
BIGGS
Join the Rebellion?! Are you kidding! How?
LUKE
Quiet down will ya! You got a mouth bigger than a meteor crater!
BIGGS
I'm sorry. I'm quiet. Listen how quiet I am. You can barely hear me...
LUKE
My friend has a friend on Bestine who might help us make contact.
BIGGS
around forever trying to find them.
LUKE
I know it's a long shot, but if I don't find them I'll do what I can on my own... It's what we always talked about. Luke, I'm not going to wait for the Empire to draft me into service. The Rebellion is spreading and I want to be on the right side - the side I believe in.
BIGGS
And I'm stuck here...
LUKE
I thought you were going to the Academy next term. You'll get your chance to get off this rock.
BIGGS
Not likely! I had to cancel my application. There has been a lot of unrest among the Sand People since you left... they've even raided the outskirts of Anchorhead.
LUKE
Your uncle could hold off a whole colony of Sand People with one blaster.
BIGGS
I know, but he's got enough vaporators going to make the place pay off. He needs me for just one more season. I can't leave him now.
LUKE
I feel for you, Luke, you're going to have to learn what seems to be important or what really is important. What good is all your uncle's work if it's taken over by the Empire?... You know they're starting to nationalize commerce in the central systems...it won't be long before your uncle is merely a tenant, slaving for the greater glory of the Empire.
BIGGS
It couldn't happen here. You said it yourself. The Empire won't bother with this rock.
LUKE
Things always change.
BIGGS
I wish I was going... Are you going to be around long?
LUKE
No, I'm leaving in the morning...
BIGGS
Then I guess I won't see you.
LUKE
Maybe someday... I'll keep a lookout.
BIGGS
Well, I'll be at the Academy next season... after that who knows. I won't be drafted into the Imperial Starfleet that's for sure... Take care of yourself, you'll always be the best friend I've got.
LUKE
So long, Luke.
BIGGS
Artoo-Detoo! It's you! It's you!
THREEPIO
Someone was in the pod. The tracks go off in this direction.
FIRST TROOPER
Look, sir - droids.
SECOND TROOPER
Wake up! Wake up!
THREEPIO
We're doomed.
THREEPIO
Do you think they'll melt us down?
THREEPIO
Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Will this never end?
THREEPIO
