Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Page #37
BIGGS:
Luke! I don't believe it! How'd you
get here... are you going out with
us?!
LUKE:
Biggs! Of course, I'll be up there
with you! Listen, have I got some
stories to tell...
Red Leader, a rugged handsome man in his forties, comes up
behind Luke and Biggs. He has the confident smile of a born
leader.
RED LEADER:
Are you... Luke Skywalker? Have you
been checked out on the Incom T-sixty-
five?
BIGGS:
Sir, Luke is the best bushpilot in
the outer rim territories.
Red Leader pats Luke on the back as they stop in front of
his fighter.
RED LEADER:
I met your father once when I was
just a boy, he was a great pilot.
You'll do all right. If you've got
half of your father's skill, you'll
do better than all right.
LUKE:
Thank you, sir. I'll try.
Red Leader hurries to his own ship.
BIGGS:
I've got to get aboard. Listen, you'll
tell me your stories when we come
back. All right?
LUKE:
I told you I'd make it someday, Biggs.
BIGGS:
(going off)
You did, all right. It's going to be
like old times, Luke. We're a couple
of shooting stars that'll never be
stopped!
Luke laughs and shakes his head in agreement. He heads for
his ship.
As Luke begins to climb up the ladder into his sleek, deadly
spaceship, the crew chief, who is working on the craft, points
to little Artoo, who is being hoisted into a socket on the
back of the fighter.
CHIEF:
This R2 unit of your seems a bit
beat up. Do you want a new one?
LUKE:
Not on your life! That little droid
and I have been through a lot
together.
(to Artoo)
You okay, Artoo?
The crewmen lower Artoo-Detoo into the craft. Now a part of
the exterior shell of the starship, the little droid beeps
that he is fine.
Luke climbs up into the cockpit of his fighter and puts an
his helmet. Threepio looks on from the floor of the massive
hangar as the crewmen secure his little electronic partner
into Luke's X-wing. It's an emotional-filled moment as Artoo
beeps good-bye.
CHIEF:
Okay, easy she goes!
THREEPIO:
Hang on tight,Artoo, you've got to
come back.
Artoo beeps in agreement.
THREEPIO:
You wouldn't want my life to get
boring, would you?
Artoo whistles his reply.
All final preparations are made for the approaching battle.
The hangar is buzzing with the last minute activity as the
pilots and crewmen alike make their final adjustments. The
hum of activity is occasionally trespassed by the distorted
voice of the loudspeaker issuing commands. Coupling hoses
are disconnected from the ships as they are fueled. Cockpit
shields roll smoothly into place over each pilot. A signalman,
holding red guiding lights, directs the ships. Luke, a trace
of a smile gracing his lips, peers about through his goggles.
BEN'S VOICE
Luke, the Force will be with you.
Luke is confused at the voice and taps his headphones.
EXT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - JUNGLE
All that can be seen of the fortress is a lone guard standing
on a small pedestal jutting out above the dense jungle. The
muted gruesome crying sounds that naturally permeate this
eerie purgatory are overwhelmed by the thundering din of ion
rockets as four silver starships catapult from the foliage
in a tight formation and disappears into the morning cloud
cover.
INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - WAR ROOM
The princess, Threepio, and a field commander sit quietly
before the giant display showing the planet Yavin and its
four moons. The red dot that represents the Death Star moves
ever closer to the system. A series of green dots appear
around the fourth moon. A din of indistinct chatter fills
the war room.
MASSASSI INTERCOM VOICE
Stand-by alert. Death Star
approaching. Estimated time to firing
range, fifteen minutes.
EXT. SPACE
The Death Star slowly moves behind the massive yellow surface
of Yavin in the foreground, as many X-wing fighters flying
in formation zoom toward us and out of the frame.
Light from a distant sun creates an eerie atmospheric glow
around a huge planet, Yavin. Rebel fighters flying in
formation settle ominously in the foreground and very slowly
pull away.
INT. RED LEADER STARSHIP - COCKPIT
Red Leader lowers his visor and adjusts his gun sights,
looking to each side at his wing men.
RED LEADER:
INT. ANOTHER COCKPIT
