Star Wars: The Force Awakens Page #15

HAN:

The coolant's leaking!

REY:

Try transferring auxiliary power to

the secondary tank--

HAN:

-- Secondary tank, I got it!

INT. LOUNGE:

CHEWIE HOWLS IN PAIN! Finn hangs in there, wraps a bandage

on Chewie's shoulder: Chewie ROARS. BB-8 scurries off.

FINN:

Chewie, come on! I need help with

this giant hairy thing! Stop moving!

Chewie!

INT. FALCON COCKPIT:

HAN:

You hurt Chewie, you're gonna deal

with me!

INT. LOUNGE:

As Finn struggles to bandage the Wookiee:

FINN:

Hurt him?! He almost killed me six

times!

(Chewie GRABS HIM by

the collar, ROARS)

Which is fine.

INT. FALCON COCKPIT:

HAN:

This hyperdrive blows there's gonna

be pieces of us in three different

systems.

Han at the controls when all the alarms STOP. Rey, satisfied,

sits in the co-pilot seat. Han is confused.

HAN (CONT'D)

What'd you do?

REY:

I by-passed the compressor.

He looks at her. A little, appreciative laugh. Han exits,

walking past BB-8.

HAN:

Move, Ball.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - LOUNGE AREA - DAY

Han kneels at Chewie, who lies awake but recovering. Han

checks his friend's wound with care. Chewie MOAN-TALKS.

HAN:

Nah, don't say that, you did great.

Just rest.

Han turns to Finn, who sits at the HOLOCHESS set, BB-8 beside

him. This is awkward for Han, but damn, he means it:

HAN (CONT'D)

Good job, kid. And thanks.

FINN:

You're welcome.

Finn has accidentally hit a button on the chess set, and the

PIECES appear, looking up at Finn, curiously. The pieces

start to FIGHT as Finn fiddles with the controls, trying to

turn it off.

HAN:

So, fugitives, huh?

REY:

The First Order wants the map.

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

REY (CONT'D)

(re:
Finn and BB-8)

Finn is with the Resistance...

(SHRUGS)

... I'm just a scavenger.

Han gives Finn a skeptical once-over as Finn finally manages

to TURN THE CHESS SET OFF as Rey enters. Han looks to BB-8.

HAN:

Let's see whatcha got.

REY:

(TO BB-8)

Go ahead.

BB-8 rolls forward -- and suddenly PROJECTS A HOLOGRAPHIC

MAP, FILLING THE ROOM. PLANETS, STARS, SYSTEMS.

They all react. Chewie sits to look up. Han moves through

stars, becomes reflective.

HAN:

This map's not complete. It's just

a piece. Ever since Luke disappeared,

people have been looking for him.

REY:

Why'd he leave?

HAN:

He was training a new generation of

Jedi. One boy, an apprentice turned

against him, destroyed it all. Luke

felt responsible... He walked away

from everything.

FINN:

Do you know what happened to him?

HAN:

There're a lot of rumors. Stories.

The people who knew him the best

think he went looking for the first

Jedi temple.

REY:

The Jedi were real?

HAN:

I used to wonder that myself. Thought

it was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo --

magical power holding together good,

evil, the dark side and the light.

(BEAT)

'Crazy thing is, it's true. The

Force, the Jedi, all of it. It's

all true.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

An alarm rings on the control station, prompting Han to toggle

some switches. BB-8 cuts off the hologram. Chewie rises

and moans to Han, but Han motions for Chewie to lay back

DOWN:

HAN (CONT'D)

No, you rest.

(To Rey and Finn)

You want my help? You're getting

it. Gonna see an old friend. She'll

get your droid home. This is our

stop.

Han leaves towards the cockpit, Rey and Finn following.

EXT. LIGHTSPEED TO SPACE - DAY

BEHIND THE FALCON as it DROPS OUT OF LIGHTSPEED, revealing a

BEAUTIFUL GREEN PLANET ahead, TAKODANA.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY

Han pilots. Finn and BB-8 beside him, Rey as co-pilot.

Han notices Rey looking out the windshield, almost in tears.

REY:

(QUIETLY)

... I didn't know there was this

much green in the whole galaxy...

Han watches her -- sees a vulnerability that touches him.

EXT. TAKODANA PLANET - DAY

The Falcon CRESTS OVER an ENDLESS GREEN FOREST TO REVEAL a

CASTLE on a picturesque LAKE.

The Falcon lands near the castle, among dozens of WORN,

smallish freighters.

EXT. LANDING PAD - NEAR MAZ'S CASTLE - DAY

Rey steps off the Falcon, UP TO CAMERA, BB-8 at her side.

She takes in the towering stone CASTLE, FOREST to one side,

LAKE to the other. Serene, beautiful, all new to her.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - LOUNGE AREA - DAY

From BLACKNESS:
a storage unit opens. Han rummages,

retrieving old BLASTERS. Finn arrives behind him, concerned.

FINN:

Hey, Solo -- I'm not sure what we're

walking into here --

HAN:

D'you just call me "Solo"?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

FINN:

Sorry. Han-- Mr. Solo. You should

know, I'm a big deal in the

Resistance. Which puts a real target

on my back. Are there any

conspirators here? First Order

sympathizers?

HAN:

Listen big deal, you've got another

problem. Women always figure out

the truth.

Hands him a BLASTER.
