Yes.
TARKIN
We are approaching the planet Yavin. The Rebel base is on a moon on the far side. We are preparing to orbit the planet.
DEATH STAR INTERCOM VOICE
The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet.Its defenses are designed around a direct large-scale assault. A small one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense.
DODONNA
Pardon me for asking, sir, but what good are snub fighters going to be against that?
GOLD LEADER
Well, the Empire doesn't consider a small one-man fighter to be any threat, or they'd have a tighter defense. An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station.
DODONNA
The approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station.
DODONNA
Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes.
DODONNA
That's impossible, even for a computer.
WEDGE
It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-sixteen back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
LUKE
Man your ships! And may the Force be with you!
DODONNA
Orbiting the planet at maximum velocity. The moon with the Rebel base will be in range in thirty minutes.
DEATH STAR INTERCOM VOICE
This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi and it will soon see the end of the Rebellion.
VADER
All flight troops, man your stations. All flight troops, man your stations.
MAN
So... you got your reward and you're just leaving then?
LUKE
That's right, yeah! I got some old debts I've got to pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. I could use you.
HAN
Come on! Why don't you take a look around? You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you. You're turning your back on them.
LUKE
What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain'tmy idea of courage. It's more like suicide.
HAN
All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han... guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?
LUKE
Hey, Luke... may the Force be with you!
HAN
What're you lookin' at? I know what I'm doing.
HAN
What's wrong?
LEIA
Oh, it's Han! I don't know, I really thought he'd change his mind.
LUKE
He's got to follow his own path. No one can choose it for him.
LEIA
I only wish Ben were here.
LUKE
Luke! I don't believe it! How'd you get here... are you going out with us?!
BIGGS
Biggs! Of course, I'll be up there with you! Listen, have I got some stories to tell...
LUKE
Are you... Luke Skywalker? Have you been checked out on the Incom T-sixty-five?
RED LEADER
Sir, Luke is the best bushpilot in the outer rim territories.
BIGGS
I met your father once when I was just a boy. He was a great pilot. You'll do all right. If you've got half of your father's skill, you'll do better than all right.
RED LEADER
Thank you, sir. I'll try.
LUKE
I've got to get aboard. Listen, you'll tell me your stories when we come back. All right?
BIGGS
I told you I'd make it someday, Biggs.
LUKE
You did, all right. It's going to be like old times Luke. We're a couple of shooting stars that'll never be stopped!
BIGGS
This R2 unit of your seems a bit beat up. Do you want a new one?
CHIEF
Not on your life! That little droid and I have been through a lot together.You okay, Artoo?
LUKE
Okay, easy she goes!
CHIEF
Hang on tight, Artoo, you've got to come back.
THREEPIO
You wouldn't want my life to get boring, would you?
THREEPIO
Luke, the Force will be with you.
BEN

Cut the chatter, Red Two.

Accelerate to attack speed. This is it, boys!
RED LEADER
Red Leader, this is Gold Leader.
GOLD LEADER
I copy, Gold Leader.
RED LEADER
We're starting for the target shaft now.
GOLD LEADER
We're in position. I'm going to cut across the axis and try and draw their fire.
RED LEADER
Heavy fire, boss! Twenty-threedegrees.
WEDGE
I see it. Stay low.
RED LEADER
This is Red Five! I'm going in!
LUKE
Luke, pull up!
BIGGS
Are you all right?
BIGGS
I got a little cooked, but I'm okay.
LUKE
We count thirty Rebel ships, Lord Vader. But they're so small they're evading our turbo-lasers!
ASTRO-OFFICER
We'll have to destroy them ship to ship. Get the crews to their fighters.
VADER
Luke, let me know when you're going in.
RED LEADER
I'm on my way in now...
LUKE
Watch yourself! There's a lot of fire coming from the right side of that deflection tower.
RED LEADER
I'm on it.
LUKE
Squad leaders, we've picked up a new group of signals. Enemy fighters coming your way.
CONTROL OFFICER
My scope's negative. I don't see anything.
LUKE
Keep up your visual scanning. With all this jamming, they'll be on top of you before your scope can pick them up.
RED LEADER
Biggs! You've picked one up... watch it!
RED LEADER
I can't see it! Where is he?!
BIGGS
He's on me tight, I can't shake him... I can't shake him.
BIGGS
Hang on, Biggs, I'm coming in.
LUKE
Got him!
LUKE
Several fighters have broken off from the main group. Come with me!
VADER
Pull in! Luke... pull in!
BIGGS
Watch your back, Luke!
WEDGE
Watch your back! Fighter's above you, coming in!
WEDGE
I'm hit, but not bad.
LUKE
Artoo, see what you can do with it. Hang on back there.
LUKE
Red Six...
RED LEADER
Can you see Red Five?
RED LEADER
There's a heavy fire zone on this side. Red Five, where are you?
RED TEN
I can't shake him!
LUKE
I'm on him, Luke!
WEDGE
Hold on!
WEDGE
Blast it! Wedge where are you?
LUKE
Thanks, Wedge.
LUKE
Good shooting, Wedge!
BIGGS
Red Leader...
GOLD LEADER

GOLD LEADER
I copy, Gold Leader. Move into position.
