23. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN
LIVING AREA SAUNDAN (to Malla) Now then, what's that I smell?
Oh, could it be some of those famous
wookiee ookiees? Malla shakes her head
"yes" and they head towards the kitchen. They also leave open the
panels that conceal their secret communications
monitor. 24. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON -
COCKPIT Chewie growls at Han. HAN I told you we'd make it. Did I
ever let you down? Chewie growls affectionately at
Han. HAN I feel the same way about you
too, pal. And your family. 25. EXT. SPACE NEAR KASHYYYK The Falcon is heading towards the
green planet of Kashyyyk. 26. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON -
COCKPIT HAN I've never seen so much Imperial
traffic in this system. A display is shown of the
Imperial traffic to show Han's point. HAN Better land on the north side.
It'll be safer there. Chewie growls. HAN So, it's a long walk. A little
exercise never hurt anybody. 27. EXT. SPACE AROUND KASHYYYK The Falcon is just about to enter
the atmosphere of the planet. 28. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON -
COCKPIT HAN Happy Life Day, pal. 29. EXT. SURFACE OF KASHYYYK The Falcon flies over a forest on
the surface of the planet Kashyyyk. 30. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S
ROOM Lumpy looks up at the sound of a
ship flying overhead. He becomes very excited. 31. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN
LIVING AREA Malla and Saundan are seated at
the table as they hear the sound of the ship. The stand up
excitedly. SAUNDAN Sounds like a starship. What I
tell ya? Must be Chewbacca now! Malla growls happily at his
announcement. 32. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S
ROOM Lumpy runs towards the stairs and
heads down. 33. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN
LIVING AREA Malla and Lumpy meet at the door
and open it only to be greeted by two stormtroopers with
blasters pointed at them. The stormtroopers enter,
followed by an Imperial guard and an Imperial officer.
Saundan walk quietly over to the secret communications
monitor and closes the panels to conceal it. The
Imperial guard walks up to the officer with some device in his
hand. IMPERIAL GUARD (to officer) This unit is occupied by four
wookiees. Two adult males, one adult
female, and one male child. The officer snaps his fingers and
dismisses the Imperial guard. He then walks over to
where the huddled group of wookiees and Saundan are
gathered. IMPERIAL OFFICER (to Malla) Where is the other wookiee male? Malla just growls and Saundan
walks over to the Imperial Officer. SAUNDAN Officer, uh, maybe I could be of
some help there, sir. IMPERIAL OFFICER (to Saundan) Who are you and what are you
doing in this wookiee house? SAUNDAN Oh, I'm a trader in this
district. You see, the uh, uh the truth of the
matter is she had a terrible fight with her
husband and he just stormed right out. IMPERIAL OFFICER Your identification. SAUNDAN Uh... IMPERIAL OFFICER (yelling) I said it! (normally) Your identification. SAUNDAN Oh, identification, yes. It's a
very important thing, identification.
I, I never leave the shop without my identification. It's uh, it's
very important, just in times like
this. The Imperial officer gets the pad
from the guard and snaps his fingers at a
stormtrooper. The stormtrooper points his blaster in Saundan's
face. SAUNDAN I just found my identification. I
think it's in my pocket. He pull his identification out of
his pocket and hands it to the Imperial officer. IMPERIAL OFFICER (to his troops) Search the dwelling. The officer snaps his fingers to
signal his men. They begin to spread out and search
the house. SAUNDAN Officer, you may notice that
little leather case that I carry my identification card in. I whipped
that up myself. That's a pretty fast
selling little item. Saundan laughs nervously. SAUNDAN Uh... uh well, some people like
to keep things neat and clean and that's
why uh, I have the little leather case
for the identification card. As a matter
of fact, if any of you guys want a couple
of those leather cases. I've gotta couple
of extra ones here. One of the stormtroopers pulls
open one of the panels that conceal the communications
monitor. He doesn't notice that the other panel opens
and closes it. Saundan, who was watching this, is very
relieved. SAUNDAN Oh, officer, that uh, that
picture you're looking at right now was taken
quite a few years ago. That's uh, one of
me. I've gained quite a bit of weight
since then. Saundan laughs nervously again.
The Imperial guard kneels down in front of Lumpy IMPERIAL GUARD (to Lumpy) Hello little guy. Where's your
daddy? Lumpy snaps at the Imperial
guard. IMPERIAL GUARD (angrily) Hey, they have no respect for
authority! The guard pulls his arm back to
strike Lumpy. Malla steps forward and growls angrily at
him. Saundan steps between them and separates them. SAUNDAN (to guard) Excuse me. I beg your pardon. Uh,
maybe you know my brother's boy. He's a
member of the Imperial militia. He must
be 24 or 25 years old by know. Good little
guy... IMPERIAL OFFICER (to Saundan) Your identification is in order.
You can go now. The officer walks over to Saundan
and gives him back his identification. SAUNDAN (to officer) Thank you, thank you very much. I
just have a little more work to finish
up here and uh, oh by the way, uh, while
I'm finishing up here uh, why don't
you boys uh, take it easy. Relax. Put your
feet up and make yourself at home.
Wookiee food isn't the greatest but I'm sure I
can whip something up in the kitchen
that we can all eat. (to Malla) Uh, you don't mind do ya, Malla? Malla growls something back at
Saundan. SAUNDAN (forcefully) Malla will you come in the
kitchen to help me. Malla goes to the table to get
her "boom box" on the way to the kitchen. The guard pulls
it away from her and examines it. Malla howls in
anger. SAUNDAN (to guard) What are doing with that thing?
That's a very delicate piece of
workmanship. Saundan goes to Malla and
comforts her. The guard puts the machine back on the table. SAUNDAN (to Malla) Alright Malla, it's alright. (to guard) The slightest jarring will mess
up the whole works. If you're going to
play around with it let me show you
how. He reaches towards the machine
and a stormtrooper pulls his blaster and puts it in his
face. SAUNDAN Relax, I gotta turn it on, don't
I? The guard motions for the
stormtrooper to put his blaster up. The stormtrooper complies. SAUNDAN Just sit down and enjoy it, okay? Saundan pulls a chair out for the
guard. The guard sits down in it. SAUNDAN Here we go. Saundan opens the front of the
box which folds down. He fools around needlessly with it.
He then "sees" a bug and claps it in his hands. He then
drops it to the floor and stomps on it. This is too much
for the guard. He stands up and yells at Saundan. IMPERIAL GUARD (angrily) Will you get on with it? SAUNDAN Okay, okay. Saundan pushes one button on it
and walks away. The box starts to produce music and the
guard sits back down in front of it. With the beat of it
a small pink light flashes. A band slowly starts to
appear. SINGER God, all dignified, if you want
to. What I would really like to know. Will
you light the sky on fire? Will you
light tonight like you did the night
before? Hey! You could take me higher
than the diamonds in the sky. Take me,
light in the sky and we'll vanish without
a trace and we'll see God then. Temples
and mirrors interest me. Though all
there really is to know. Will you light
the sky on fire? Will you light the sky
on fire again tonight? You can take me
higher than the diamonds in the sky.
Take me, we'll vanish without a trace and
then we'll all see God then. On the
pyramids of the legend. The great god Kopa
Khan came from the stars and vanished. And
the legends say he will come back
again someday, someday... Will you
light the sky on fire? Will you light
tonight like you did the night before. You can
take me higher than the diamonds in the
sky. Take me, light in the sky and we'll
vanish without a trace, And then we'll
see god then. Yes, I would really like to
know. What I've been watching this for.
Yes, I would really like to know. Will
you light the sky on fire? Will you light
the sky like you did the night before?
You could take me higher than the diamonds
in the sky. Take me, we'll vanish
without a trace. And we'll all see God
then. Vanish without a trace. Vanish without a
trace. Come on, come on, come on, come
on, come on, let's vanish without a trace.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come
on, we'll vanish without a trace. As the music ends the band slowly
disappears only to leave the pulsating pink light.
When the music comes to an end the light stops. Saundan
walks back over to the guard. SAUNDAN I knew you'd like it. IMPERIAL OFFICER Your work here is finished. You
may leave now. SAUNDAN I guess you're right. It's about
all I can do for now. I hope you guys
find what you're looking for. Keep up the
good work. Saundan turns to go and stops
where the wookiees are huddled. SAUNDAN (to Malla) Malla. (to Itchy) Itchy, please... Itchy hands him the bag that he
brought Lumpy's gift in earlier. IMPERIAL OFFICER Alright, finish the search of the
residence. The Imperial officer snaps his
fingers at his troops. Saundan who is just about gone
turns back into the house. SAUNDAN Oh, I almost forgot. I want to
leave you my card in case you need any of
uh, oh... A stormtrooper stops him with his
blaster pointed at his face. Saundan turns to leave
again. SAUNDAN Okay, I'm leaving. IMPERIAL OFFICER Investigate the upper area. Check
for any Rebel material. Anything to
connect this household with the Alliance. Saundan again heads back into the
house. SAUNDAN Oh, don't forget about those
protective cases for your identification
card. I gotta good item... The stormtrooper again stops
Saundan with his blaster. SAUNDAN That's it, I'm gone. Saundan finally leaves. IMPERIAL OFFICER Finish the search of the house.
We have other areas to cover today. The officer points his hand in a
stormtrooper's face. IMPERIAL OFFICER (to stormtrooper) You! Take the upper area. Lumpy tries to stop the
stormtrooper from going upstairs but is violently pushed aside by
him. Malla jumps to her son's aid only to be stopped by
the other stormtrooper's blaster in her face. The officer
pushes the blaster away from Malla. IMPERIAL OFFICER Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uhh... We
don't want to have to hurt anyone. That's
not what we're here for. The officer snaps his fingers at
the stormtrooper to dismiss him. The stormtrooper
walks away. IMPERIAL OFFICER But, when my men get angry I
can't always control them. We are going to
continue our search. Now keep him quiet
and I'll forget this ever happened. Malla takes Lumpy over to a table
and chair. There is a small yellow box and pair of
headphones on it. Lumpy sits down and puts on the headphones.
He then presses a button. Strange lettering appear on the
small screen. Lumpy looks around to see if anyone is
watching him. He sees a stormtrooper and a guard going up
the staircase. Lumpy pushes a button on the box and a
cartoon starts on the screen. 34. EXT. SPACE - ASTEROID FIELD The camera goes through an
asteroid field until it comes to a stop on a Rebel base. A
large portal is in the side of the station. Through it is
seen a bustle of activity going on inside. CAPTAIN KAZAN (voice over) Starlog 3-24-1 from the bridge of
the cruiser RS Reekvange, captain
Kazan reporting. We are awaiting the
return of captain Han Solo and his first
mate, Chewbacca. Who are long overdue
on a delicate mission to acquire the
mystical talisman, which has been sought
by our forces and the Empire. 35. INT. REBEL BASE - CONTROL
ROOM Luke, Leia, C-3PO, and Rebel
General are looking out the portal into the asteroid field.
Artoo rolls down a ramp and whistles at Threepio. THREEPIO (to Artoo) The talisman - it makes things
invisible, I think. Artoo beeps another question. THREEPIO Yes, even you. Which I think
might be an improvement. A red colored alien with a
headset is sitting at a communications console. He is a
communications officer. On the monitor, a blip is headed
towards their base in the asteroid field. COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER We've picked up something. LUKE It's the Millennium Falcon. COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER They're coming out of lightspeed.
I can't make contact. REBEL GENERAL Try a lower channel. The radar display fades and a
view of the cockpit of the Falcon is shown. Chewie is seated
and Han can be seen hanging upside down in the
background. COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER (into headset) Falcon, do you copy? Come in
Falcon. LUKE It's Chewie. But where's Han? LEIA That's him! Hanging upside down! COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER (to Rebel General) I can't make radio contact. REBEL GENERAL He's on a collision course.
Princess, we're in mortal danger from our
own forces. COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER (into headset) Falcon, do you copy? REBEL GENERAL This is madness. LUKE You're right General. I can't
understand what Chewbacca's doing. LEIA Whatever he's doing, there must
be a reason. Hold your fire. COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER (to Rebel General) We've lost all contact, sir. The monitor with Chewie on it
goes to static. 36. EXT. SPACE - ASTEROID FIELD The Falcon is headed straight for
the Rebel base. REBEL GENERAL (voice over) Standby. The Falcon is near
impact. The Falcon changes direction at
the last minute and speeds away from the base. 37. INT. REBEL BASE - CONTROL
ROOM LUKE I'm going after them. LEIA Luke, take Artoo with you. Artoo whistles. LUKE (to Threepio) What'd he say? THREEPIO If something has happened to
captain Solo and Chewbacca is alone, you will
need me to interpret. 38. EXT. SPACE A Y-wing flies through the
asteroid filed and follows the Falcon. The Falcon fires several
shots at the Y-wing but miss. 39. INT. Y-WING - COCKPIT Luke and Threepio are both seated
in the cockpit. Laser blasts flash past the canopy of
the fighter. THREEPIO Sir, he's firing on us. LUKE I know, but I don't think he
means to hit us. Chewie's a better shot than
that. 40. EXT. SPACE The Falcon accelerates and speeds
away from the pursuing Y-wing. THREEPIO (voice over) Look, he's speeding up. We're
losing him. LUKE (voice over) Not for long. 41. INT. Y-WING - COCKPIT Luke holds his headset microphone
closer to his mouth and speaks into it. LUKE (into headset) This is Y-4 to base. He's heading
straight for a moon in the Panos
system. 42. EXT. MOON - OCEAN - DAY The Falcon flies into a red
jelly-like ocean. It goes under the surface and pops back
up on balloons. 43. EXT. SPACE The Y-wing is headed for the same
moon that the Falcon landed on. The Y-wing is shaking
from entering the moon's atmosphere. LUKE (voice over) Hang on Artoo. 44. INT. Y-WING COCKPIT The cockpit of the ship is
shaking violently. THREEPIO What about me? I'm going to shake
apart! 45. INT. REBEL BASE - CONTROL
ROOM Leia and the communications
officer are at the comm unit. Luke's transmissions are being
monitored by them. LUKE (over speaker) We're approaching the water
planet. We're following Han and Chewie... The message is cut off by static. COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER We've lost them. 46. EXT. MOON - OCEAN - DAY The Y-wing is headed for the ocean. LUKE Hang on, Threepio. We're going
in. THREEPIO Are you sure this is the best
way, sir? The Y-wing bounces on the surface
of the water several times before coming to a rest.
Artoo whistles and balloons inflate to keep the ship
above water. 47. INT. Y-WING - COCKPIT Threepio is in the back seat
upside down. Luke who wound up under the dashboard, sits up. THREEPIO Master Luke, sir, are you all
right? LUKE Yes. How 'bout Artoo? Artoo whistles that he is. Luke
pushes a button on the dashboard and it beeps. LUKE Our comlinks are out. We can't
contact the base. 48. EXT. MOON - OCEAN - DAY The Y-wing is floating on the
ocean. The cockpit hatch opens. THREEPIO Where are you going, sir? Luke stands up and looks around
with his macrobinoculars. LUKE To see if I can locate the Falcon
by visual sighting. Maybe it's close
by. A large creature has risen up
from the water behind the Y-wing and roars. Luke drops his
macrobinoculars and pulls out his blaster. He fires
on the creature and hits it in the head. The creature just
licks his licks as if it liked being shot. LUKE (to Artoo) Artoo, stand by to fire the
ejection pod. The creature reaches its long
neck down and takes a bite out of the rear of the ship. THREEPIO And hurry Artoo or we'll be
desert soon. The front of the ship detaches
and speeds away. The creature is hit by a ray that
makes it dive into the ocean. The ray came from a forked
rifle held by Boba Fett. He is seated in a saddle on
another of the creatures. THREEPIO What is it, master Luke? LUKE I'm not sure. (to Boba) You saved my life. Thank you. BOBA FETT You are alone? LUKE I have two droids. We've come in
search of a ship that crashed near here. BOBA FETT Maybe I can help you. I am Boba
Fett. The ship you seek is nearby. LUKE Are the Imperial troops near this
planet? |
