Leia! Leia's my sister.
LUKE
Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down, Luke. They do you credit. But they could be made to serve the Emperor.
BEN
When your father left, he didn't know your mother was pregnant. Your mother and I knew he would find out eventually, but we wanted to keep you both as safe as possible, for as long as possible. So I took you to live with my brother Owen on Tatooine... and your mother took Leia to live as the daughter of Senator Organa, on Alderaan.
BEN
The Organa household was high-born and politically quite powerful in that system. Leia became a princess by virtue of lineage... no one knew she'd been adopted, of course. But it was a title without real power, since Alderaan had long been a democracy. Even so, the family continued to be politically powerful, and Leia, following in her foster father's path, became a senator as well. That's not all she became, of course... she became the leader of her cell in the Alliance against the corrupt Empire. And because she had diplomatic immunity, she was a vital link for getting information to the Rebel cause. That's what she was doing when her path crossed yours... for her foster parents had always told her to contact me on Tatooine, if her troubles became desperate.
BEN
But you can't let her get involved now, Ben. Vader will destroy her.
LUKE
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!
BEN
Well, look at you, a general, huh?
HAN
Oh, well, someone must have told them about my little maneuver at the battle of Taanab.
LANDO
Well, don't look at me, pal. I just said you were a fair pilot. I didn't know they were lookin' for somebody to lead this crazy attack.
HAN
I'm surprised they didn't ask you to do it.
LANDO
Well, who says they didn't. But I ain't crazy. You're the respectable one, remember?
HAN
The Emperor has made a critical error and the time for our attack has come.
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.
MON MOTHMA
Many Bothans died to bring us this information. Admiral Ackbar, please.
MON MOTHMA
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 defense 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.
ACKBAR
General Calrissian has volunteered to lead the fighter attack
ACKBAR
Good luck.
HAN
You're gonna need it.
HAN
General Madine.
ACKBAR
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.
GENERAL MADINE
Sounds dangerous.
THREEPIO
I wonder who they found to pull that off.
LEIA
General Solo, is your strike team assembled?
GENERAL MADINE
Uh, my team's ready. I don't have a command crew for the shuttle.
HAN
Well, it's gonna be rough, pal. I didn't want to speak for you.
HAN
That's one.
HAN
Uh, General... count me in.
LEIA
I'm with you, too!
VOICE
What is it?
LEIA
Ask me again sometime.
LUKE
Luke.
HAN
Hi, Han... Chewie.
LUKE
\Exciting\ is hardly the word I would use.
THREEPIO
Look. I want you to take her. I mean it. Take her. You need all the help you can get. She's the fastest ship in the fleet.
HAN
All right, old buddy. You know, I know what she means to you. I'll take good care of her. She-she won't get a scratch. All right?
LANDO
Right. I got your promise now. Not a scratch.
HAN
Look, would you get going, you pirate.
LANDO
Good luck.
LANDO
You, too.
HAN
You got her warmed?
HAN
Yeah, she's comin' up.
LUKE
No. I don't think the Empire had Wookiees in mind when they designed her, Chewie.
HAN
Hey, are you awake?
LEIA
Yeah, I just got a funny feeling. Like I'm not gonna see her again.
HAN
Come on, General, let's move.
LEIA
Right. Chewie, let's see what this piece of junk can do. Ready, everybody?
HAN
All set.
LUKE
Here we go again.
THREEPIO
All right, hang on.
HAN
What is thy bidding, my Master?
VADER
Send the fleet to the far side of Endor. There it will stay until called for.
EMPEROR
What of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing near Sullust?
VADER
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. Go out to the command ship and await my orders.
EMPEROR
Yes, my Master.
VADER
If they don't go for this, we're gonna have to get outta here pretty quick, Chewie.
HAN
We have you on our screen now. Please identify.
CONTROLLER
Shuttle Tydirium requesting deactivation of the deflector shield.
HAN
Shuttle Tydirium, transmit the clearance code for shield passage.
CONTROLLER
Transmission commencing.
HAN
Now we find out if that code is worth the price we paid.
LEIA
It'll work. It'll work.
HAN
Vader's on that ship.
LUKE
Now don't get jittery, Luke. There are a lot of command ships. Keep your distance though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keep your distance.
HAN
I don't know. Fly casual.
HAN
I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come.
LUKE
It's your imagination, kid. Come on. Let's keep a little optimism here.
HAN
Where is that shuttle going?
VADER
Shuttle Tydirium, what is your cargo and destination?
PIETT
Parts and technical crew for the forest moon.
PILOT VOICE
Do they have a code clearance?
VADER
It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them.
PIETT
Shall I hold them?
PIETT
No. Leave them to me. I will deal with them myself.
VADER
As you wish, my lord. Carry on.
PIETT
They're not goin' for it, Chewie.
HAN
Shuttle Tydirium, deactivation of the shield will commence immediately. Follow your present course.
CONTROLLER
Okay! I told you it was gonna work. No problem.
HAN
Oh, I told you it was dangerous here.
THREEPIO
Shall we try and go around?
LEIA
It'll take time. This whole party'll be for nothing if they see us.
HAN
Chewie and I will take care of this. You stay here.
HAN
Quietly, there might be more of them out there.
LUKE
Hey... it's me.
HAN
Go for help! Go!
SCOUT #1
Great. Come on.
LUKE
Over there! Two more of them!
LEIA
I see them. Wait, Leia!
LUKE
Quick! Jam their comlink. Center switch!
LUKE
Hey, wait! Ahhh!
HAN
Move closer!
LUKE
Get alongside that one!
LUKE
Get him!
LUKE
Keep on that one! I'll take these two!
LUKE
Oh, General Solo, somebody's coming. Oh!
THREEPIO
Luke! Where's Leia?
HAN
What? She didn't come back?
LUKE
I thought she was with you.
HAN
We got separated.
LUKE
Hey, we better go look for her.
LUKE
Take the squad ahead. We'll meet at the shield generator at 0300.
HAN
