Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Page #30
INT. DEATH STAR - TRACTOR BEAM - POWER GENERATOR TRENCH
Ben enters a humming service trench that powers the huge
tractor beam. The trench seems to be a hundred miles deep.
The clacking sound of huge switching devices can be heard.
The old Jedi edges his his way along a narrow ledge leading
to a control panel that connects two large cables. He
carefully makes several adjustments in the computer terminal,
and several lights on the board go from red to blue.
INT. DEATH STAR - UNUSED HALLWAY
The group exits the garbage room into a dusty, unused hallway.
Han and Luke remove the trooper suits and strap on the blaster
belts.
HAN:
If we can just avoid any more female
advice, we ought to be able to get
out of here.
Luke smiles and scratches his head as he takes a blaster
from Solo.
LUKE:
Well, let's get moving!
Chewie begins growling and points to the hatch to the garbage
room, as he runs away and then stops howling.
HAN:
(to Chewie)
Where are you going?
The Dia Nogu bangs against the hatch and a long, slimy
tentacle works its way out of the doorway searching for a
victim. Han aims his pistol.
LEIA:
No, wait. They'll hear!
Han fires at the doorway. The noise of the blast echoes
relentlessly throughout the empty passageway. Luke simply
shakes his head in disgust.
HAN:
(to Chewie)
Come here, you big coward!
Chewie shakes his head "no."
HAN:
Chewie! Come here!
LEIA:
Listen. I don't know who you are, or
where you came from, but from now
on, you do as I tell you. Okay?
Han is stunned at the command of the petite young girl.
HAN:
Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get
one thing straight! I take orders
from one person! Me!
LEIA:
It's a wonder you're still alive.
(looking at Chewie)
Will somebody get this big walking
carpet out of my way?
Han watches her start away. He looks at Luke.
HAN:
They follow her, moving swiftly down the deserted corridor.
INT. DEATH STAR - POWER TRENCH
Suddenly a door behind Ben slides open and a detachment of
stormtroopers marches to the power trench. Ben instantly
slips into the shadows as an Officer moves to within a few
feet of him.
OFFICER:
Secure this area until the alert is
canceled.
FIRST TROOPER:
Give me regular reports.
All but two of the stormtroopers leave.
FIRST TROOPER:
Do you know what's going on?
SECOND TROOPER:
Maybe it's another drill.
Ben moves around the tractor beam, watching the stormtroopers
as they turn their backs to him. Ben gestures with his hand
toward them, as the troops think they hear something in the
other hallway. With the help of the Force, Ben deftly slips
past the troopers and into the main hallway.
SECOND TROOPER:
What was that?
FIRST TROOPER:
Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about
it.
Luke, Han, Chewbacca, and Leia run down an empty hallway and
stop before a bay window overlooking the pirateship. Troopers
are milling about the ship. Luke takes out his pocket comlink.
HAN:
(looking at his ship)
There she is.
LUKE:
See-Threepio, do you copy?
THREEPIO:
(voice)
For the moment. Uh, we're in the
main hangar across from the ship.
LUKE:
We're right above you. Stand by.
Han is watching the dozen or so troops moving in and out of
the pirateship. Leia moves towards Han, touches his arm and
points out the window to the ship.
LEIA:
You came in that thing? You're braver
that I thought.
HAN:
Nice! Come on!
Han gives her a dirty look, and they start off down the
hallway. They round a corner and run right into twenty
Imperial stormtroopers heading toward them. Both groups are
taken by surprise and stop in their tracks.
FIRST TROOPER:
It's them! Blast them!
Before even thinking, Han draws his laser pistol and charges
the troops, firing. His blaster knocks one of the
stormtroopers into the air. Chewie follows his captain down
the corridor, stepping over the fallen trooper on the floor.
HAN:
(to Luke and Leia)
Get back to the ship!
LUKE:
Where are you going? Come back!
Han has already rounded a corner and does not hear.
LEIA:
He certainly has courage.
LUKE:
What good will it do us if he gets
himself killed? Come on!
