HAN:

Great shot, kid. That was one in a

million.

INT. LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT

Luke is at ease, and his eyes are closed.

BEN'S VOICE

Remember, the Force will be with

you... always.

The ship rocks back and forth.

EXT. DARTH VADER'S TIE FIGHTER

Vader's ship spins off into space.

EXT. SPACE

The Rebel ships race toward the fourth moon of Yavin.

INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - MAIN HANGAR

Luke climbs out of his starship fighter and is cheered by a

throng of ground crew and pilots. Luke climbs down the ladder

as they all welcome him with laughter, cheers, and shouting.

Princess Leia rushes toward him.

LEIA:

Luke! Luke! Luke!

She throws her arms around Luke and hugs him as they dance

around in a circle. Solo runs in toward Luke and they embrace

one another, slapping each other on the back.

HAN:

(laughing)

Hey! Hey!

LUKE:

(laughing)

I knew you'd come back! I just knew

it!

HAN:

Well, I wasn't gonna let you get all

the credit and take all the reward.

Luke and Han look at one another, as Solo playfully shoves

at Luke's face. Leia moves in between them.

LEIA:

(laughing)

Hey, I knew there was more to you

than money.

Luke looks toward the ship.

LUKE:

Oh, no!

The fried little Artoo-Detoo is lifted off the back of the

fighter and carried off under the worried eyes of Threepio.

THREEPIO:

Oh, my! Artoo! Can you hear me? Say

something!

(to mechanic)

You can repair him, can't you?

TECHNICIAN:

We'll get to work on him right away.

THREEPIO:

You must repair him! Sir, if any of

my circuits or gears will help, I'll

gladly donate them.

LUKE:

He'll be all right.

INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - MAIN THRONE ROOM

Luke, Han, and Chewbacca enter the huge ruins of the main

temple. Hundreds of troops are lined up in neat rows. Banners

are flying and at the far end stands a vision in white, the

beautiful young Senator Leia. Luke and the others solemnly

march up the long aisle and kneel before Senator Leia. From

one side of the temple marches a shined-up and fully repaired

Artoo-Detoo. He waddles up to the group and stands next to

an equally pristine Threepio, who is rather awestruck by the

whole event. Chewbacca is confused. Dodonna and several other

dignitaries sit on the left of the Princess Leia. Leia is

dressed in a long white dress and is staggeringly beautiful.

She rises and places a gold medallion around Han's neck. He

winks at her. She then repeats the ceremony with Luke, who

is moved by the event. They turn and face the assembled

troops, who all bow before them. Chewbacca growls and Artoo

beeps with happiness.
