HOTH ASTEROID BELT
The Falcon, unlike the Outrider and most of the other Rebels, cannot get a break, as Imperial Star Destroyers hound the group.
Han: I saw 'em, I saw 'em.
Leia: Saw what?
Han: Star Destroyers, two of them, coming right at us.
3P0: Sir, Sir? Might I suggest...
A blast rocks the ship, knocking 3P0 over, and on han's nerves.
Han: Shut him up, or shut him down. Change the deflector shield. Great. Hope I can still outmaneuver them.
Han blasts through, as the ISDs collide with each other.
Imperial officer: Take evasive Action!
Klaxons sound off, as the destroyers attempt to maneuver amongst themselves.
Han: Prepare to make the jump to lightspeed.
3P0: But Sir!
Leia: They're getting closer!
Han: Oh yea? Watch this!
Han pulls the lever for the hyperdrive, but nothing happens.
Leia: Watch what?
Han: I think we're in trouble.
3P0: If I may say so sir, I noticed earlier that the hyperspace modulator has been damaged. Its impossible to go to lightspeed.
Han: We're in trouble.
Han attempts to repair the falcon while being chased.
Han: How are those boosters? Could it be the dampers? Ow, that's not it! Bring me the hydrospanner!
Chewy grunts negative to the questions and brings a tool box over to Han, who picks up a spanner and dives into the bowls of the falcon.
Han: I don't know how to get out of this one..
A blast knocks the tool bock into the maitnence hole, square onto Han.
Han: OW! Chewy!
Another hit rocks the falcon.
Han: That wasn't a laser blast, something hit us!
Leia: Han, get up here.
Han: Come on Chewy!
Leia: Asteroids.
Han: Oh. Chewy, set two seven one.
Leia: What are you doing? You're not actually going to go into an asteroid field?
Han: They'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they?
Han enters the field.
Leia: You don't have to do this to impress me.
3P0: Sir, the possiblity of successfully navagating an asteroid field are approximentally 3720 to 1!
Han: Never tell me the odds.
Han begins dodging larger and larger asteroids, as the TIEs have trouble keeping up with the maneuvers.
3P0: Oh... Ah!
3P0 Screams as the ship is hurtled through the field.
Han: You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake. This could be it.
Leia: I take it back. We're going to get pulverized if we stay out here much longer.
Han: There, rocks. We're going in closer to one of the bigger ones.
Leia: Closer?!?
3P0: Closer?!?
The Falcon dives towards the biggest one near therm, as Han flies through the gullies and canyons to evade the ties, with Chewy screaming. The rest of the TIEs can't keep up, and are destroyed. Han begins searching the ground.
3P0: Oh, this is suicide. There's nowhere to go.
Han: That looks pretty good.
Leia: What looks pretty nice?
Han: Yea, awful nice.
3P0: Excuse me, ma'am, but where are we going?
Han dives into a cave, and flies inward.
Leia: I hope you know what you're doing.
Han: Yea, I do too.

Dagobah
Luke is in orbit over the planet. While Obi-wan told him to come to this planet to find a jedi master, Luke has doubts.
R2 beeps.
Luke: Yep, that's it. Dagobah.
R2 chirps out several sounds.
Luke: No, I'm not going to change my mind about it. I'm not picking up any cities or technology. Massive life form readings, though. There's something alive down there.
R2 Beeps, slighly disgruntled.
Luke: Yes, I'm sure its perfectly safe for droids.
Luke enters the atmosphere of the planet. Fog clouds the sensors and vision. Luke enters rough, as R2 warns of impending crash.
Luke: I know I know! I can't see a thing. Just hang on, I'll start the landing cycle.
R2 beeps. Luke is forced to put the Xwing down into the marsh. The planet is revealed to be a swampy muck, teeming with life but little to indicate anything sentinent. Luke exits the cockpit, surveying his surroundings. R2 exits his slot, making lewd comments of the surrounding in his binary toungue.
Luke: No R2, you stay put, I'll have a look around.
R2 loses his balance, falling into the swamp.
Luke: R2? R2! Where are you? R2?
R2's scope pops up out of the swamp, like a parascope.
Luke: You be more careful.
R2 heads towards shore, but heads in a wrong direction.
Luke: R2? That way...
R2 heads towards the direction luke pointed, as a swamp slug charges after the droid. Luke crawls onto the land, but R2 is swallowed up by the slug.
Luke: R2!
R2 is under the water for some time, and then is spit out onto land by the slug, obviously not wanting a droid for a meal.
Luke: Are you alright? Come on. You were lucky to get out of there. Anything broken?
Luke picks his droid up and begins to clean the muck off. R2 runs a self diagnostic, finding nothign really wrong.
Luke: First you said it was a bad idea to come here. I'm beginning to agree with you.
R2 beeps confidently.
Luke: What are we doing here? Its like... something in a dream... Maybe we're just getting crazy..
R2 spits out some mud, like a droid vomiting. Foul beeps follow.

IMPERIAL FLEET - HOTH ASTEROID BELT
The Fleet still searches for solo. Piett disturbs Vader in his meditation chamber. Vader normally is not pleased by such problems, but Piett brings news of the progress on finding solo.
Vader: Yes Admiral?
Admiral Piett: Our ships have sighted the Millenium Falcon, lord, but it has entered an asteroid field, and we cannot risk...
Vader: Asteroids do not concern me, Admiral. I want that ship, not excuses.
Piett: Yes.
ASTEROID
Han works on the Falcon.
Han: I'm going to shut down everything but the emergency power systems.
3P0: Sir, I'm almost afraid to ask, but does that include shutting me down too?
Han: No, I need you to talk to the Falcon and find out what's wrong with the hyperdrive.
The Asteroid begins to rumble, shaking the Falcon.
3P0: Sir, its quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable....
Han: Not entirely stable? I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewy, take the professor in the back and plug him into the hyperdrive.
3P0: Oh, Sometimes I don't understand human behavior. Afer all, I've only... (door closes behind him.)
Another quake rumbles the Falcon. Leia and Han are thrown into the same seat.
Leia: Let go.
Han: Shhh...
Leia: Let go, please.
Han: Don't get excited.
Leia: Captian, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited.
Han: Sorry sweetheart. I don't have time for anything else.

DAGOBAH
Luke begins to set up a temporary camp using supplies from the X-wing. Food, warmth, and recharging the droid are the primary concerns.
Luke: Well, ready for some power? Okay. Let's see now... *plugs R2 in* There. Now all I got to do is find this Yoda... If he even exists.
R2 grumbles in binary. Luke gnaws on some food.
Luke: What a strange place to find a jedi master. This place gives me the creeps. Still.... I don't know. there's something familiar about this place. I feel like...
Mysterious stranger: Feel like what?
Luke: Like we're being watched!
Luke pulls out a blaster, trained at the stranger who shields himself. The stranger is very short, but holds only a cane and rags for clothing. Green, pointy earred, the audience (save for people who already have seen the movie) do not know what this creature may be.
Stranger: Away put your weapon, I mean you no harm! I am wondering, why are you here?
Luke: I'm looking for someone.
Stranger: Looking? Found someone you have, I would say.
Luke puts his weapon down, as the stranger laughs.
Luke: Right...
Stranger: Help you I can, yes? hmmm?
Luke: I don't think so. I'm looking for a great warrior.
Stranger: Oh. Warrior? HM! Wars do not make one great!
The stranger heads towards the food, and begins to nibble.
Luke: Put that down! You don't need... Hey, that's my dinner!
Luke takes the food by force. R2 beeps madly.
Stranger: How you get so big, eating food of that kind?
Luke: Listen, friend. We didn't mean to land in that puddle, and if we could get our ship out we would. But we cant, so why don't...
Stranger: Aww.. Can't get your ship out?
The Stranger starts digging through the equiptment.
Luke: Hey, get out of there!
Stranger: Ah! *luke takes the item* Noo!
Luke: You could have broken this...
The stranger begins throwing equiptment around.
Luke: Don't do that...
The stranger finds a flashlight, and giggles in amusement. Luke grumbles, as R2 becomes quite indignant.
Luke: Hey!
Stranger: Mine! Or help you I will not.
Luke: I don't want your help. I want my land back, so I can get out of this slimey mudhole.
Stranger: Mudhole? Slimey? My home this is!
R2 reaches out an arm, and grabs the light. A fight ensues, as the stranger begins whacking R2 with his cane.
Stranger: Mine, mine!
Luke: R2...
R2 lets go, as the stranger gets one good whack in.
Luke: Move along little fellow, I've got a lot of work to do.
Stranger: No, no. Stay and help you I will. Find your friend, hmm?
Luke: I'm not looking for a friend, I'm looking for a jedi master.
Stranger: Oh? Jedi master, hmm? Yoda! You seek Yoda!
Luke: You know him?
Stranger: Take you to him, I will. Yes, yes. Now we must eat! Come, come!
The stranger begins walking off.
Stranger: Come, come!
Luke: R2, stay and watch over the camp.
R2 beeps indignantly.

ASTEROID
Han continues to try and fix the hyperdrive on the Falcon.
3P0: Oh, where is R2 when I need him? Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has the most peculiar dialect. I believe, sir, it says the power coupling on the negative access has become polarized. I afraid you'll have to replace it.
Han: Of course, I'll have to replace it. Here, Chewy!
Han tosses up some cables, and heeds 3P0's advice.
Han: I think we better replace that negative power coupling.
Chewy grunts a response. Leia is also helping to repair the ship. Han finds her struggling to tighten a part, and tries to help. Leia shrugs him off stubbornly.
Han: Hey, your worship, I'm only trying to help.
Leia: Would you please quit calling me that?
Han: Sure, leia.
Leia: You make it so difficult sometimes.
Han: I know, I really do. You could be a little nicer you know. Come on, admit it, sometimes you think I'm alright.
Leia: Occassionally, maybe... when you're not acting like a scoundrel.
Han: Scoundrel, scoundrel? I like the sound of that.
He grabs her hand and rubs the pain away.
Leia: Stop that.
Han: Stop what?
Leia: Stop that, my hands are dirty.
Han: Mine are dirty too. What are you afraid of?
Leia: Afraid?
Han: You're trembling.
Leia: I'm not trembling.
Han begins leaning closer and closer.
Han: You love me because I'm a scoundrel. There's no scoundrels in your life.
Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han: I'm a nice man.
The two kiss, only briefly, as 3P0 interrupts.
3P0: Sir, sir! I've isolated the reverse power coupling!
Han: Thank you... Thank you very much.
3P0: You're very welcome sir.
Han tries to get back to Leia, only to find she's run off.

HOTH ASTEROID BELT - IMPERIAL FLEET
Despite the asteroids, the imperial fleet plows through on its search for the Falcon. Three holograms of officers in the escorting destroyers are in conference, as one flickers out due to damage.
Officer hologram: That, Lord Vader, was the last time they appeared on any of our scopes. Considering the damage we've have sustained, they must have been destroyed.
Vader: No Captian, they're alive. I want every ship available to sweep the asteroid field until they are found.
The holograms bow, and fade out. Piett comes to Lord Vader with news, this time very pertinent to the Dark Lord himself.
Piett: Lord Vader?
Vader: Yes, Admiral, what is it?
Piett: The Emperor commands you make contact with him.
Vader: Move the ship out of the asteroid field, so we can make a clear transmission.
Piett: Yes, My Lord.
Vader heads to the communication room, as the Executor moves out of the field. Vader kneels, as a hologram of the Emperor arrives.
Vader: What is thy bidding, my master.
Emperor: There is a great disturbance in the Force.
Vader: I have felt it.
Emperor: We have a new enemy. Luke Skywalker.
Vader: Yes, My master.
Emperor: He could destroy us.
Vader: He is just a boy. Obi-wan can no longer help him.
Emperor: The force is strong with him. The son of Skywalker must not become a jedi.
Vader: But if he could be turned, he would become a powerful ally.
Emperor: Yes... Yes... He would be a great asset, can it be done?
Vader: He will join us or die, master...

DAGOBAH
Inside the stranger's hut, Luke becomes more agitated at the delay from achieving his goals. R2 peeks in from outside, where it has grown soggy from the new rain.
Luke: Look I'm sure its delicious, but I just don't understand why we can't see Yoda now.
Stranger: Patience. For a jedi, it is time to eat as well. Eat! Eat! Hot!
Luke pours himself some soup, and grimaces at the taste.
Stranger: Good food, hm? Good, hmm?
Luke: How far away is Yoda? Will it take us long to get there?
Stranger: Not far, yoda not far. Patience. Soon you will meet with him. Quickly. I go. Why wish you become jedi?
Luke: Mostly because of my father I guess.
Stranger: Ah, Father? Powerful Jedi was he. Hmm. Powerful Jedi.
Luke: Oh, come on. How could you know my father? You don't even know who I am. I don't even know what am I doing here, we're wasting our time.
Suddenly, the stranger begins to talk to himself, as if his confidence has been lost. Another voice joins the conversation.
Stranger: *sighs* I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.
Obi-wan's voice: He will learn patience.
Stranger: Hmm... Much anger in him. Like his father.
Obi-wan's voice: Was I any different when you taught me?
Stranger: He is not ready.
Luke: Yoda?
Luke realizes all this time he has been in the presence of Yoda, who had been testing the pupil.
Luke: I am ready! I... Ben, I can be a jedi! Ben tell him I'm ready..
Luke bumps his head on the cieling due to his impatience.
Yoda: Ready are you? Ha. What know you ready? For 800 years have I trained jedi. My own council liked him, one who must be trained. A jedi must have the deepest committment. The most serious mind. This one, a long time have I watched. All his life, he looked away. To the picture, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was, hm? What he was doing! Adventure, HA! Excitement, Harumph! A jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.
Obi-wan's voice: So was I, if you remember.
Yoda: He is too old. Yes, too old to begin the training.
Luke: But I've learned so much.
Yoda: He will finish where he begins.
Luke: I won't fail you. I'm not afraid.
Yoda: Good. You will be! You will be...
Luke stares in astonishment at the seriousness of Yoda.

HOTH ASTEROID FIELD
The imperial fleet blasts away at the astroids, in a great attempt to destroy the Falcon's hiding spot. Han and crew are still hiding in the cave of a larger asteroid, as bombs shake violently around them. Leia, in the cockpit, is frightened by a flyign creature.
3P0: Sir, If I may venture an opinion...
Han: I'm not really interested in your opinion..
Leia: There's something out there.
Han: Where?
Leia: Outside the cave.
3P0: There it is! Listen, Listen!
Han: Come on.
Leia: Are you crazy?
Han: Listen, I just put this bucket back together, I'm not going to let something tear it apart.
Leia: Then I'm going with you...
Han, Chewy, and Leia all grab air masks, and head outiside, while 3P0 stays behind.
3P0: I think it might be better if I stay behind and guard the ship.
Leia: The ground sure feels strange. Doesn't feel like rock.
Han: There's an awful lot of moisture in here.
Leia: I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this.
A mynock flies out, as han shoots it down.
Han: Watch out! Its alright.. its alright.. Yea, what I thought. A mynock. Chewy, check the rest of the ship, make sure there are no more attached, chewing on the power cables.
Leia: Mynocks?
Han: Go on inside, we'll clean them off if there are any more.
More mynocks are fly around, scaring everyone, including 3P0 in the cockpit.
3P0: Ahh! Help Me! Help me please! Shoo! Shoo!
Chewy fires, and misses. The entire cave begins to rumble. Han, curious as to the sudden quake, fires at the ground again. A similar result happens, this time more violently. Everyone races back to the ship.
Han: Power this thing up Chewie, let's get out of here!
Leia: The Empire's still out there, I don't think its wise...
Han: No time to discuss this in a comittee!
Leia: I am not a committee!
Han reaches the cockpit, with Leia in tow. They begin to take off.
Leia: You can't make the jump to lightspeed in this asteroid field.
Han: No, sweetheart, we're taking off.
The ship takes off, as the cave "entrance" begins to close.
3P0: Look!
Han: I see it, I see it.
3P0: We're doomed!
Leia: The cave is collapsing...
Han: This is no cave.
Leia: What?
The Falcon escapes from the jaws of a giant space slug, just barely.

DAGOBAH
In the swamps, Luke trains over the obstacle course of vines, jumps, and gullys with Yoda on his back.
Yoda: Run! Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the force. But beware of the Dark Side. Anger, Fear, Aggression, the dark side of the force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-wan's apprentice.
Luke: Vader. Is the Dark Side stronger?
Yoda: No, no. No. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: How do you know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know, when you are calm. At peace, passive. A jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
Luke: But tell me why I can't...
Yoda: No, no, there is no why. Nothing more I will teach you today. Clear your mind of questions.
