Star Wars: The Force Awakens Page #27

A Resistance Technician turns to Leia:

ADMIRAL ACKBAR:

The Oscillator's still standing.

OFFICER:

X-wings coming back for another round

of attacks!

INT. STARKILLER BASE - CORRIDOR 6 - DAY

Rey climbs up to the corridor, vigilant. She hears a SOUND,

SWOOPS her rifle at -- Finn, Han and Chewie! She cannot

believe it! All Finn wants to do is hug her -- and she him.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

HAN:

Are you all right?

REY:

Yeah.

HAN:

Good.

FINN:

What happened -- did he hurt you?

REY:

Finn. What are you doing here?!

FINN:

We came back for you.

She is speechless -- this is all she's ever wanted anyone to

do. Chewie TALKS -- and Rey's eyes nearly tear up.

FINN (CONT'D)

What'd he say?

REY:

(shrugs, smiles, though

nearly in tears)

... That it was your idea.

Finn awkwardly smiles. It's his nature. They embrace.

REY (CONT'D)

Thank you.

FINN:

How did you get away?

REY:

I can't explain it. And you wouldn't

believe it.

HAN:

Escape now. Hug later.

EXT. STARKILLER BASE - DAY

The X-Wings DOGFIGHT with the TIE Fighters on the surface of

the snowy planet. INTERCUT BETWEEN the ships SCREAMING past

each other, and the COCKPITS of the Resistance and First

Order fighters. Poe's fighter NEARLY COLLIDES with a close-

passing TIE Fighter!

SNAP:

I got one behind me. See it?

JESS:

Yeah, I'm on it!

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

A heavy cannon emplacement launches a missile that shreds an

X-wing fighter.

JESS:

Furillo's been hit!

SNAP:

Watch out for ground fire!

EXT. STARKILLER BASE - DAY

The X-wings ROAR across the sky, BLASTING and DODGING the

TIE Fighters and missiles.

PULL BACK TO REVEAL Han, Finn, Rey and Chewie, who run out

here, into the snow, stopping, eyes on the sky, watching the

lop-sided battle.

THE FOUR HEROES TURN TO EACH OTHER, RESOLVE IN THEIR EYES.

A long moment of communication.

HAN:

They're in trouble. We can't leave.

(to Finn, re:
Chewie)

My friend here has a bag full of

explosives. Let's use 'em.

INT. RESISTANCE BASE - DAY

A Resistance Technician turns to Leia:

KAYDEL KO CONNIX

General, are you seeing this?

VOBER DAND:

Two more X-wings down. That's half

our fleet destroyed.

C-3PO

And their weapon will be fully charged

in 10 minutes! It would take a

miracle to save us now.

INT. STARKILLER BASE - OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

Han and Chewie arrive here to find THREE SECURITY

STORMTROOPERS approaching a Maintenance Hatch. Instantly,

Chewie takes out the middle one with his Bowcaster. Han and

the other two Stormtroopers OPEN FIRE, but Han's aim is true.

ALARMS START BLARING!

INT. JUNCTION STATION - NEAR DARKNESS

Running inside from a parked snowspeeder, Rey opens a service

hatch. Finn behind her, as she reaches into the mechanics

of the place, very much like the very first shot we saw of

Rey.

And she YANKS a piece of TECH from the machinery and:

INT. STARKILLER BASE - OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

The HATCH OPENS! Han and Chewie, having been on the lookout,

step inside, weapons poised. Chewie MOANS.

HAN:

That girl knows her stuff.

INT. STARKILLER BASE - OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

Han and Chewie divide the explosives. Talk in hushed tones.

HAN:

We'll set the charges at every other

column.

He GROAN/TALKS to Han, who looks around, reconsiders.

HAN (CONT'D)

You're right. That's a better idea.

(checks his detonator)

You take the top.

(CHEWIE DOES)

I'll go down below. Detonator.

We'll meet back here.

They head off in opposite directions.

INT. OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

Han finishes placing an explosive. Checks he's all-clear

and hurries down to the next level. Chewie climbs up a level.

INT. OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - MAIN ENTRANCE - NEAR DARKNESS

A SQUAD of Stormtroopers SNAP to alert as Kylo Ren approaches.

CONTROLS ARE HIT and the huge DOOR OPENS. Without hesitation,

Kylo walks INTO THE OSCILLATOR.

INT. OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

A COLOSSAL CYLINDRICAL STRUCTURE. DARK CORRIDORS and

CATWALKS. Kylo Ren comes to a stop. Scans the structure.

SENSING SOMETHING, he motions the Stormtrooper Squad upwards.

KYLO REN:

Find them.

They rush past him. Kylo Ren turns slowly, and HEADS DOWN.

INT. STARKILLER BASE - OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

The Stormtroopers move up the ramp, weapons ready, checking

carefully where blind corners intersect from the perimeter.

They come round to the next higher level and PASS CLOSE TO

CAMERA. When they've passed, TILT to find CHEWIE, in the

shadows of the grillwork.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

Once they're gone, he plants another charge.

EXT. STARKILLER BASE - OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

The Snowspeeder comes to a stop outside the structure. Finn

and Rey stop for a moment, look to the sky: THE SUN IS NEARLY

GONE.

INT. OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - LOWER LEVEL - NIGHT

Han finishes setting a charge and is about to move on when

he HEARS SOMETHING and conceals himself behind a wide,

vertical support. He peaks around the edge and his whole

demeanor changes --

HAN'S POV:
Kylo Ren appears and stops at the railing, looking

down into the filter.

Han looks at his son with a tortured storm of feelings.

WE'RE WITH KYLO REN as he resumes his hunt. He heads directly

toward WHERE HAN IS HIDING! Kylo Ren has an INCREASING SENSE

OF HAN'S PRESENCE as he moves closer. He comes to where Han

was hiding -- but HAN IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.

From his hiding place in a narrow, POWER CHAMBER in the wall,
