Star Wars - A New Hope

by George Lucas


  Vader is taken by surprise, and looks out from his cockpit.

  VADER What?

  INTERIOR DARTH VADER'S WINGMAN -- COCKPIT.

  Vader's wingman searches around him trying to locate the

  unknown attacker.

  INTERIOR MILLENNIUM FALCON -- COCKPIT.

  Han and Chewbacca grin from ear to ear.

  HAN (yelling) Yahoo!

  EXTERIOR SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

  The Millennium Falcon heads right at the two TIE fighters.

  It's a collision course.

  INTERIOR WINGMAN'S COCKPIT.

  The wingman spots the pirateship coming at him and warns the

  Dark Lord.

  WINGMAN Look out!

  EXTERIOR DEATH STAR TRENCH.

  Vader's wingman panics at the sight of the oncoming pirate

  starship and veers radically to one side, colliding with

  Vader's TIE fighter in the process. Vader's wingman crashes

  into the side wall of the trench and explodes. Vader's damaged

  ship spins out of the trench with a damaged wing.

  EXTERIOR SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

  Vader's ship spins out of control with a bent solar fin,

  heading for deep space.

  INTERIOR DARTH VADER'S COCKPIT.

  Vader turns round and round in circles as his ship spins

  into space.

  EXTERIOR SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

  Solo's ship moves in toward the Death Star trench.

  INTERIOR MILLENNIUM FALCON -- COCKPIT.

  Solo, smiling, speaks to Luke over his headset mike.

  HAN (into mike) You're all clear, kid.

  INTERIOR MASSASSI OUTPOST -- WAR ROOM.

  Leia and the others listen to Solo's transmission.

  HAN (over speaker) Now let's blow this thing and go home!

  INTERIOR LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER -- COCKPIT.

  Luke looks up and smiles. He concentrates on the exhaust port,

  then fires his laser torpedoes.

  EXTERIOR SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

  Luke's torpedoes shoot toward the port and seems to simply

  disappear into the surface and not explode. But the shots do

  find their mark and have gone into the exhaust port and are

  heading for the main reactor.

  INTERIOR LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER -- COCKPIT.

  Luke throws his head back in relief.

  INTERIOR DEATH STAR.

  An Imperial soldier runs to the control panel board and pulls

  the attack lever as the board behind him lights up.

  INTERCOM VOICE Stand by to fire at Rebel base.

  EXTERIOR SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

  Two X-wings, a Y-wing, and the pirateship race toward Yavin in

  the distance.

  INTERIOR DEATH STAR.

  Several Imperial soldiers, flanking a pensive Grand Moff

  Tarkin, busily push control levers and buttons.

  INTERCOM VOICE Standing by.

  The rumble of a distant explosion begins.

  EXTERIOR SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

  The Rebel ships race out of sight, leaving the moon-like Death

  Star alone against a blanket of stars. Several small flashes

  appear on the surface. The Death Star bursts into a supernova,

  creating a spectacular heavenly display.

  INTERIOR MILLENNIUM FALCON -- COCKPIT.

  HAN Great shot, kid. That was one in a million.

  INTERIOR 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.

  EXTERIOR DARTH VADER'S TIE FIGHTER.

  Vader's ship spins off into space.

  EXTERIOR SPACE.

  The Rebel ships race toward the fourth moon of Yavin.

  INTERIOR 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.

  INTERIOR 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.
