DB> trailer. To describe the sign, it was yellow and had a picture
DB> of something on it with some writing in Basic.
DB> In Star Wars: ROTJ, there was a scene right after the Barge
DB> explosion, where Luke and Co. were in a sandstorm. And the dialogue
DB> as follows:
DB> Han [to Luke]: That carbon freeze was the closest thing to death
DB> there is. It wasn't just sleepin'. It was a big wide awake nothing!
DB> And the scene where the MF and XW breaking off into different
DB> directions was right after that scene mentioned above.
DB> Also in ROTJ, there were also to be more acrobatic tricks from Luke,
DB> Vader using his Dark Jedi choke on the Emperor's private guards and
DB> more Luke and Obi-Wan scenes (basically talking about how Luke and

Well you are right in all account's of these scenes, but i will describe them
more specifically.
With Biggs and Luke on Tatooine:
Luke ( to droid ) : Hurry up! Come with me! What are you waiting for?! Get in
gear!
The Droid  spews smoke and dies. Luke throws his arms up in disgust. He gives
up and jumps into his landspeeder, leaving the droid .
Later...
Luke bursts into the power station, waking Camie and The Fixer, two of lukes
friends.
Fixer : Did i just hear a young noise blast through here?
Camie : It's just wormie on another rampage.
Luke bursts into the office where Deak and Windy, two more friends, and Biggs
are playing an electronic pool game.
Luke : Shape it up you guys! Biggs?
Biggs is surprised the overjoyed to see luke.
Luke : I didn't know you were back! When did you get in?
Biggs : Just now. I wanted to surprise you, hot shot. I'd thought you'd be
here...certainly didn't expect you to be out working (laughs)
Luke : The academy didn't change you much.....but your back so soon? Hey,
what happened, didn't you get your commission?
I'll write it all out later but i haven't the time at the moment. Just giving
you a taste.
