The group of X-wing fighters move in formation toward the

position.

(over headset)
We're passing through their magnetic
field.

RED LEADER:
Hold tight!
INT. LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT
Luke adjusts his controls as he concentrates on the
approaching Death Star. The ship begins to be buffeted
slightly.
RED LEADER:
(over headset)
Switch your deflectors on.
INT. ANOTHER COCKPIT
RED LEADER:
(over headset)
Double front!
EXT. SPACE
The fighters, now X-shaped darts, move in formation. The
Death Star now appears to be a small moon growing rapidly in
size as the Rebel fighters approach. Complex patterns on the
metallic surface begin to become visible. A large dish antenna
is built into the surface on one side.
INT. WEDGE'S COCKPIT
Wedge is amazed and slightly frightened at the awesome
spectacle.
WEDGE:
Look at the size of that thing!
RED LEADER:
(over headset)
Cut the chatter, Red Two.
INT. RED LEADER'S COCKPIT
RED LEADER:
Accelerate to attack speed. This is
it, boys!
EXT. SPACE
As the fighters move closer to the Death Star, the awesome
size of the gargantuan Imperial fortress is revealed. Half
of the deadly space station is in shadow and this area
sparkles with thousands of small lights running in thin lines
and occasionally grouped in large clusters; somewhat like a
city at night as seen from a weather satellite.
INT. GOLD LEADER'S COCKPIT
GOLD LEADER:
Red Leader, this is Gold Leader.
RED LEADER:
(over headset)
I copy, Gold Leader.
GOLD LEADER:
We're starting for the target shaft
now.
INT. RED LEADER'S COCKPIT
Red Leader looks around at his wingmen; the Death Star looming
in from behind. Two Y-wing fighters bob back and forth in
the background. He moves his computer targeting device into
position.
RED LEADER:
We're in position. I'm going to cut
across the axis and try and draw
their fire.
EXT. SPACE
Two squads of Rebel fighters peel off. The X-wings dive
towards the Death Star surface. A thousand lights glow across
the dark grey expanse of the huge station.
INT. DEATH STAR
Alarm sirens scream as soldiers scramble to large turbo-
powered laser gun emplacements. Electronic drivers rotate
the huge guns into position as crew adjust their targeting
devices.
EXT. SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR
Laserbolts streak through the star-filled night. The Rebel X-
wing fighters move in toward the Imperial base, as the Death
Star aims its massive laser guns at the Rebel forces and
fires.
INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - WAR ROOM
Princess Leia listens to the battle over the intercom.
Threepio is at her side.
WEDGE:
(over war room speaker
system)
Heavy fire, boss! Twenty-degrees.
RED LEADER:
(over speaker)
I see it. Stay low.
EXT. SPACE
An X-wing zooms across the surface of the Death Star.
INT. DEATH STAR
Technical crews scurry here and there loading last-minute
armaments and unlocking power cables.
INT. WEDGE'S COCKPIT
Wedge maneuvers his fighter toward the menacing Death Star.
EXT. SPACE
X-wings continue in their attack course on the Death Star.
INT. LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT
Luke nosedives radically, starting his attack on the monstrous
fortress. The Death Star surface streaks past the cockpit
window.
