Star Wars: One Line at a Time

[Nelowulf]

Garven: Rendezvous at mark 6 point 1.

Wedge: This is Red two standing by.

Biggs: Red three standing by.

Dodonna (intercom): Red leader, this is base one. Keep half your group out of range for the next run.

Garven: Copy base one. Luke, take Red two and three. Hold up here and wait for my signal to start your run.


Red Leader takes the remaining red squadron down the trench in an attempt to fire. They meet the same turbolaser fire that harrased the Y-wings.

Garven: This is it!

The guns stop.

Theron Nett (Red 10): We should see it by now.

Garven: Keep your eyes open for those fighters.

Nett: There's too much interference. Red Five, can you see them from where you are?

Luke: No sign of any... Coming in at point three-five!

Nett: I see them!

Garvin: I'm in range... Target coming up... Just hold them off for a few seconds....

Vader: Close up formation.

Garvin: Almost there....

Vader takes aim, and destroys Red Leader's first wingman.

Nett: They're running a little loose, they're right behind me!

Garvin: Almost there....

Nett: I can't hold them!

Garvin finishes locking on, just as a TIE pilot destroys Nett. Garvin takes the shot, and pulls up.

Garvin: IT'S AWAY!

The resulting shot shakes the entire station. However, no explosion occurs. The shot failed to destroy the station, as Garvin orders the next trio to begin their runs.

Garvin: Its a hit! Negative, negative. It didn't go in. It just scratched it on the surface.

Everyone is dismayed. Vader continues to chase after Red Leader.  

[Nelowulf]

Vader continues to chase Garven.

Wedge (intercom): He's on your tail.

Vader shoots at Garven, missing.

Luke: He's right above you! Turn to point.. 0-5, we'll cover for you!

Garven: Stay there, I've just lost my starboard engine. Get set up for your attack run!

Garven lets out a scream as he crashes into the side of the Death Star.


DEATH STAR INTERIOR
Tarkin continues to watch as the rebel base gets closer and closer into firing range.

Computer Voice: Rebel Base one minute and closing.


DEATH STAR EXTERIOR
Luke, Biggs, and Wedge enter the trench, the last hope for the Rebel cause.

Luke: Biggs, Wedge, let's close it up. Going in, we're going in full throttle. That oughtta keep those fighters off our back.

Wedge: Right with you boss.

Biggs: Luke, at those speeds, will you be able to pull out in time?

Luke: It'll be like Beggar's Canyon back home.

Biggs: We'll stay back far enough to cover you.

Wedge: My scope shows the tower, but I can't see the exhaust port. Are you sure the computer can hit it?

Luke: Watch yourself, increase speed to full throttle.

Wedge: What about that tower?

Luke: You worry about those fighters, I'll worry about the tower!

The fighters continue down the turbolaser-ridden path.

Luke: R2? That stabilizer's come loose again. See if you can't lock it down!

The guns stop, as Lord Vader flies down the trench after the pilots.

Wedge: Fighters coming in, point three!

Vader fires, hitting Wedge's engine. He begins to swerve horribly.

Wedge: I'm hit! I can't stay with you.

Luke: Get clear Wedge, you can't do any more good back there!

Wedge: Sorry!

Wedge flies out of the trench leaving Biggs to contend with Vader.

Vader: Let him go. Stay on the leader.

Biggs: They're coming in much faster this time, I can't hold them!

Luke: R2, try to increase the power!

Biggs: Hurry up Luke! Wait..

Vader fires, destroying Biggs. Luke is left alone in the trench.  

[Nelowulf]

DEATH STAR INTERIOR
Tarkin awaits anxiously to his victory.

Computer voice: Rebel base thirty seconds and closing.


DEATH STAR TRENCH
Luke is left to battle Vader in the trench. Alone in the cockpit, but not alone in spirit. The entire Rebellion's fate rests on his shoulders.

Vader: I'm on the Leader.

3P0 (on yavin): Hang on R2.

Luke turns on his targeting computer.

Obi-wan's Voice: Use the Force, Luke. Let go, Luke.

Vader: The Force is strong with this one...

Obi-wan's Voice: Luke, trust me.

Luke turns off his targeting computer.

Rebel base (intercom): His computer's off. Luke, you switched off your targeting computer. What's wrong?

Luke: Nothing. I'm alright.

Vader fires, knocking R2 out of comission with stray blasterfire.

Luke: I've lost R2!


DEATH STAR INTERIOR
Tarkin awaits anxiously to his victory.

Computer voice (yavin) : The Death Star is clear to fire. The Death Star is clear to fire.

Computer voice (DS): The Rebel base is in range.

Tarkin: You may fire when ready.

Computer voice: Commence Primary Ignition.


DEATH STAR TRENCH
Vader dogs Luke down the trench.

Vader: I have you now!

As vader begins to fire, a shot from nowhere strikes a TIE wingman, destroying him.

Vader: What?

Han: WHOOOO-HOOOO!

TIE Pilot: Look out sir!

The TIE Pilot tries to maneuver, but hits Vader, causing Vader to fly out of the trench. The pilot is killed.

Han: You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home!

Luke fires, precisely hitting the exhaust port. The resulting chain reaction destroys the Death Star into a big ball of flame.

Han: Great shot kid, that was one in a million!

Obi-wan's voice: Remember, the Force will be with you... always...

The surviving pilots fly back to Yavin, as Lord Vader flies through space.  

[Nelowulf]

YAVIN TEMPLE INTERIOR
Luke is celebrated by all as he hops out of the X-wing. Leia and the rest of the gang come to congratulate him.

Leia: Luke!

Luke: Leia!

The pair laugh and hug each other closely. Han comes by.

Han: Hey!

Luke and Han embrace the victory as well.

Luke: I knew you'd come back, I just knew it!

Han: Hey, I wasn't going to let you take all the credit, and take all the reward.

Leia: And that was more to you than money.

R2 comes out of his socket, carbon scarred and heavily damaged.

Luke: Oh no!

3P0: Oh my, R2, can you hear me? Say something! You can repair him, can't you?

Technition: We'll get to work right away.

3P0: You must repair him. Sir, if any of my circuits or gizmos will help, I'll gladly donate them.

Luke: He'll be alright.


A giant celebration is held inside the temple. Everyone is in full uniform, waiting to celebrate the heroes. Luke and Han begin walking down the isle, to a ceremonially dressed Leia. Chewy escourts the two, as everyone pays respects. Leia hands out two medals in commeration of the event and heroism shown. 3P0 and R2 are shiny and freshly polished, as the Rebellion celebrates the end of the Death Star.

Credits.

EPISODE V
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Although the Death Star has been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from their hidden base and persued them across the galaxy.

Evading the dreaded imperial starfleet, a group of freedom fighters led by LUKE SKYWALKER has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth.

The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding young Skywalker, has dispatched thousands of remote probes into the far reaches of space...

 

[Nelowulf]

The Devastator is seen firing the viper probe droids to every planet in the system. One lands on the icy planet of hoth, A metallic head appears out of the ice, beginning its reconnasaince. A tauntaun and its rider is out on patrol. The rider uncovers his face, revealing himself to be Luke Skywalker. His attention is diverted by a small burst of flame and a thud in the distance. Using his binoculars, Luke tries to see what hit, but the smoke prevents any good sign.

Luke: Echo Three to Echo Seven. Han, ol' buddy, can you read me?

Han (comlink): Loud and clear kid, what's up?

Luke: Well I finished my circle, I don't pick up any life readings.

Han: There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser. Sensors are placed, I'm going back.

Luke: Right, I'll see you shortly. There's a meteorite that hit the ground near here, I wanna check it out. It won't take long.

Luke's Tauntaun growls and becomes agitated.

Luke: Steady. Hey! Steady girl. What's the matter? You smell something?

A wampa roars, and with one fell swoop, its mighty clawed hand knocks out Luke. The Tauntaun is killed the next instant. The wampa drags his kills to his lair.  

[elvisnake]

INT. HOTH - REBEL BASE - MAIN HANGAR DECK

Rebel troopers rush about unloading supplies and otherwise securing
their new base. The rider, Han Solo, swings off his lizard and pulls
off his goggles.

He walks into the main hangar deck toward the Millennium Falcon, which
is parked among several fighters. Mechanics, R2 units, and various
other droids hurry about. Han stops at the Millennium Falcon where his
Wookiee copilot, Chewbacca, is welding on a central lifter. Chewie
stops his work and lifts his face shield, growling an irritated
greeting to his boss.

HAN
Chewie!

The Wookiee grumbles a reply.

HAN
All right, don't lose your temper.
I'll come right back and give you
a hand.

Chewbacca puts his mask back on and returns to his welding as Han
leaves.  

[Nelowulf]

Han heads inside the base deeper. Leia notices, but makes no word or move towards him. Han heads towards Rieekan, the base commander.

Rieekan: Solo?

Solo: No sign of life out there General. Sensors are in place, you'll know if anything comes around.

Rieekan: Commander Skywalker reported in yet?

Solo: No, he's checking out a meteorite that hit near here.

Rieekan: With all the meteorites that hit around here in the system, it will be hard to spot approaching ships.

Solo: General, I got to leave. I can't stay here.

Rieekan: I'm sorry to hear that.

Solo: Well, there's a price on my head and if I don't pay off Jabba the Hutt, I'm a dead man.

Rieekan: A Death Mark is not an easy thing to live with. You're a good fighter, I'd hate to lose you.

Solo: Thank you general.

Solo notices Leia, who's been evesdropping on the conversation.

Solo: Well your highness, I guess this is it.

Leia: That's right.

Solo: Well don't get all mushy on me. So long, princess.

Solo leaves in a fury.  

[Padme18]

(my favorite scene! I have to do this one, I just put ESB in so I could get the lines right.)

follows Han

Leia: Han!

Han: Yes your worship?

Leia: I thought you decided to stay?

Han: Well, the bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind.

Leia: We need you.

Han: We need, what about you need?

Leia: I don't know what yoiur talking about?

Han: probably don't!

Leia: Well what precisley Am I to have in mind?!

Han: You want me to stay becaue of the way you feel about me.

Leia: Yes, your a great leader.

Han: That's not it. Come on. Ahh come on. Afriad I was going to leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?

Leia: I'd just as soon kiss a wookie.

Han: I can arrange that, you could use a good kiss

storms off  

[Nelowulf]

((I know what you mean. It's like me and the space battles. though you forgot when leia said "You're imagining things".))

Hoth interior-
3P0 and R2 walk down the hallway.

3P0: Don't try to blame me. I didn't ask them to turn on the thermal heater. I didn't comment that it was freezing in the princess's chamber. But its supposed to be freezing! It'll take forever to dry her clothes. Oh switch off!  

[Padme18]

((He says it will take forever to dry out her clothes))  

[Nelowulf]

((Thanks. Its an old tape.))

3P0 heads towards the Millenium Falcoln, where Han is berating Chewy.

Han: Why'd you take this apart now? I'm trying to get us outta here and you put holes in this?

3P0: Excuse me, sir?

Han: Put that back together right now!

3P0: Might I have a word with you, please?

Han: What do you want?

3P0: Well, its Princess Leia, sir. She's been trying to get you on the communicator.

Han: I turned it off. I don't want to talk to her.

3P0: Well, Princess Leia was wondering about Master Luke.

Han: What?

3P0: She doesn't know where he is.

Han: I don't know where he is.

3P0: Nobody knows where he is.

Han: What do you mean, 'nobody'?

3P0: Well, sir...

Han: Deck officer! DECK OFFICER!

3P0: Excuse me, sir...

Han claps his hand against 3P0's mouth.

Han: You know where Comander Skywalker is?

Deck Officer: I haven't seen him. It's possible he came through the south entrance.

Han: It's possible? Why don't you go find out? Its getting dark out there.

Deck Officer: Yes sir.

3P0: Excuse me sir! Might I inquire as to what's going on?

Han: Why not?

3P0: Impossible man. Come along R2. Between ourselves, I believe Master Luke is in considerable danger.

Han storms off to the stables that hold the tauntauns.  

[Nelowulf]

HOTH STABLES

Officer on duty: Sir, Commander Skywalker has not come in the south entrance. He might have forgotten to check in.

Han: Not likely. Are the speeders ready?

Officer on duty: Not yet, we're having some trouble adapting them to the cold.

Han: Well I'll have to go out on tauntaun.

Officer on duty: Sir, the temperature's dropping too rapidly!

Han: That's right, and my friend's out in it!

Officer on duty: The Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.

Han: Then I'll see you in hell!


HOTH WASTELANDS
Luke is trapped in the Wampa's cave. Frozen inverted to the ceiling, the roar brings him back to conciousness, as the Wampa feeds on the Tauntaun. Luke struggles to free himself, and notices his lightsaber in the snow. Reaching out, he uses the force to eventually wiggle free the lightsaber. The Wampa notices movement in his prey, while Luke cuts himself down and slices the Wampa's arm off, to flee the cave. Han continues to search for luke.

ECHO BASE
R2 uses his scanners to search for Luke's presence.

3P0: You must come along now, R2. There's really nothing more we can do. And my joints are freezing off.

R2 Beebs.

3P0: Don't say things like that. Of course we'll see Master Luke again. And he'll be quite alright, you'll see. Stupid control circuit. Quite alright.


HOTH WASTELANDS
Luke collapses from exhaustion, and beginning stages of hypothermia coupled with dehydration don't help either. Han still has not found Luke, and while using a locating device.


ECHO BASE
It is getting closer to nighttime, as the base crew prepare for shutdown.

Gate Guard: Sir. All the patrols are in, still no...

He is waved to be quieter, as Leia is listening in for all reports.

Gate Guard: Still no contact from Skywalker or Solo.

3P0 heads towards leia.

3P0: Mistress Leia? R2 says he says he's been quite unable to pick up any signals. Although, he admits his own range is far too weak to abandon all hope.

Senior Gate Guard: Your highness, there's nothing more we can do tonight. The shield doors must be closed.

Leia nods, as Chewy listens in now.

Senior Gate Guard: Close the doors.

Gate Guard: Yes sir.

3P0: R2 says the chances of survival are 725 to 1.

The doors shut, as chewy roars, and R2 beeps a most foul string of raspberries.

3P0: Actually, R2 has been known to make mistakes....... from time to time.... Oh dear.

3P0 returns to R2.

3P0: Don't worry about Master Luke. I'm sure he'll be alright. He is quite clever you know... for a human being...  

[Padme18]

((Try putting on the closed captioning. Always helps me. And for the life of me I'm drawing a blandk on the nxt lines))  

[Nelowulf]

((Its a VHS, and the TV is older than I am. And closed captioning never works as well as my own ears whenever I use it. and perhaps this will help?))


HOTH WASTELANDS
Luke, collapsed in a snowbank, suffers from exhaustion and dehydration. The spirit of Obi-wan appears to him.

Obi-wan's spirit: Luke. Luke!

Luke: Ben?

Obi-wan's spirit: You will go to the dagobah system.

Luke: Dagobah system?

Obi-wan's spirit: There you will learn from Yoda. The Jedi master who instructed me.

Luke: Ben!

Obi-wan's spirit disappears, as Han comes riding up on a taun-taun.
