Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Page #39
LUKE:
This is Red Five; I'm going in!
EXT. SPACE
Luke's X-wing races toward the Death Star. Laserbolts streak
from Luke's weapons, creating a huge fireball explosion on
the dim surface.
INT. LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT
Terror crosses Luke's face as he realizes he won't be able
to pull out in time to avoid the fireball.
BIGGS:
(over headset)
Luke, pull up!
Luke's ship emerges from the fireball, with the leading edges
of his wings slightly scorched.
INT. BIGGS' COCKPIT
BIGGS:
Are you all right?
INT. LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT
Luke adjusts his controls and breathes a sigh of relief.
Flak bursts outside the cockpit window.
LUKE:
I got a little cooked, but I'm okay.
EXT. SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR
Rebel fighters continue to strafe the Death Star's surface
with laserbolts.
INT. DEATH STAR
Walls buckle and cave in. Troops and equipment are blown in
all directions. Stormtroopers stagger out of the rubble.
Standing in the middle of the chaos, a vision of calm and
foreboding, is Darth Vader. One of his Astro-Officers rushes
up to him.
ASTRO-OFFICER
We count thirty Rebel ships, Lord
Vader. But they're so small they're
evading our turbo-lasers!
VADER:
We'll have to destroy them ship to
ship. Get the crews to their fighters.
INT. DEATH STAR
Smoke belches from the giant laser guns as they wind up their
turbine generators to create sufficient power. The crew rushes
about preparing for another blast. Even the troopers head
gear is not adequate to protect them from the overwhelming
noise of the monstrous weapon. One troopers bangs his helmet
with his hand in an attempt to stop the ringing.
INT. READ LEADER'S X-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT - TRAVELING
Red Leader flies through a heavy hail of flak.
RED LEADER:
Luke, let me know when you're going
in.
INT. LUKE'S X-WING - COCKPIT - TRAVELING
The Red Leader's X-wing flies past Luke as he puts his nose
down and starts his attack dive.
LUKE:
I'm on my way in now...
RED LEADER:
Watch yourself! There's a lot of
fire coming from the right side of
that deflection tower.
LUKE:
I'm on it.
EXT. SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR
Luke flings his X-wing into a twisting dive across the horizon
and down onto the dim grey surface.
EXT. LUKE'S X-WING TRAVELING
A shot hurls from Luke's guns. Laserbolts streak toward the
onrushing Death Star surface. Several small radar emplacements
erupt in flame. Laserfire erupts from a protruding tower on
the surface.
INT. LUKE'S X-WING - COCKPIT - TRAVELING
The blurry Death Star surface races past the cockpit window
as a big smile sweeps across Luke's face at the success of
his run. Flak thunders on all sides of him.
EXT. SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR
The Death Star superstructure races past Luke as he maneuvers
his craft through a wall of laserfire and peels away from
the surface towards the heavens.
INT. DEATH STAR
The thunder and smoke of the big guns reverberate throughout
the massive structure. Many soldiers rush about in the smoke
and chaos, silhouetted by the almost continual flash of
explosions.
INT. BIGGS' COCKPIT - TRAVELING
Biggs dives through a forest of radar domes, antennae, and
gun towers as he shoots low across the Death Star surface. A
dense barrage of laserfire streaks by on all sides.
INT. DEATH STAR
Imperial star pilots dash in unison to a line of small
auxiliary hatches that lead to Imperial TIE fighters.
INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - WAR ROOM
Princess Leia, surrounded by her generals and aides, paces
nervously before a lighted computer table. On all sides
technicians work in front of many lighted glass walls. Dodonna
watches quietly from one corner. One of the officers working
over a screen speaks into his headset.
CONTROL OFFICER:
Squad leaders, we've picked up a new
group of signals. Enemy fighters
coming your way.
INT. LUKE'S X-WING - COCKPIT - TRAVELING
Luke looks around to see if he can spot the approaching
Imperial fighters.
LUKE:
My scope's negative. I don't see
anything.
INT. RED LEADER'S X-WING - COCKPIT - TRAVELING
The Death Star's surface sweeps past as Red Leader searches
the sky for the Imperial fighters. Flak pounds at his ship.
RED LEADER:
Keep up your visual scanning. With
all this jamming, they'll be on top
of you before your scope can pick
them up.
EXT. SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR
Silhouetted against the rim lights of the Death Star horizon,
four ferocious Imperial TIE ships dive on the Rebel fighters.
Two of the TIE fighters peel off and drop out of frame. Pan
with the remaining two TIE ships.
INT. BIGGS' COCKPIT - TRAVELING
