main ones include:
a. various shots that are cut very quickly
between the
cockpit of the Falcon to outside of it.
b. cuts to commercials are not included.
Also, after a
commercial break the duplicate footage from before the
break.

3. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
The Falcon rocks as lasers hit their shields.
HAN
That's it I'm turning back.
Chewie growls at Han in reply.
HAN
I know your family's waiting.
Chewie growls again.
HAN
I know it's an important day.
Chewie growls again at Han.
HAN
All right. We'll give it a try. I'll set
short coordinates - we won't jump far.
Han flips some switches on a control panel.
HAN
I'll get you back there in time, pal.
Trust me.
Chewie growls and leans over and pits
his arm around Han
very affectionately.
4. EXT. SPACE
A Star Destroyer is firing on the falcon.
5. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
HAN
Our only hope now, is to outrun that

Chewie growls yet again. Han smiles.

That's the spirit! You'll be celebrating
Life Day before you know it! Standby,
here's where we say goodbye to our
unpleasant friends.
The Falcon makes the jump to hyperspace.

7. EXT. WOOKIEE HOME - DAY
Outside shot of Chewbacca's family's home.
It is a high
in the trees and looks like a cartoonish painting.
8. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Malla is busy in the kitchen cleaning
or cooking. Itchy is
sitting in a chair carving X-wings out of wood. Lumpy
comes down the steps "flying" one of the X-wings that
his grandfather has carved. He then proceeds to "fly" the
X-wing around Itchy's head. Itchy growls at Lumpy in
anger. Malla makes a reluctant Lumpy leave his Grandfather
alone and to take out the garbage. On his way over to the
garbage can, Lumpy sees some cookies on the table and
picks one up. Malla sees this and makes him put it back.
She then hands him the garbage can he is to take out.
Lumpy heads to take out the garbage and Malla goes back
into the kitchen.
9. EXT. WOOKIEE HOUSE - PORCH - DAY
Lumpy exits the door and sets the can
next to it. He
looks through the railing to the cartoonish ground far
below. He then looks back into the house to see if anyone
is watching. Apparently, the coast is clear, so, he
climbs up on the railing and walks along it like a
tightrope walker.
10. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Malla walks over to Itchy and pats him
on the shoulder.
She then walks over to some shelves and gets a picture
frame down with a picture of Chewbacca in it. Itchy walks
over to her. They exchange some grunts and growls. Malla
goes back to the kitchen. Itchy gets a cartridge from a
shelf and looks around for Lumpy. Lumpy runs up to him.
They head over to a hologram table similar to the chess
board on the Falcon. Itchy puts the cartridge in and a
strange circus of holographic aliens appear. They dance,
do acrobatics, and in general caper around. Lumpy is
very amused by this and claps at the end of the show.
Malla makes Lumpy come over and dry the dishes when its
over.
Malla goes over to a computer console
and pushes some
buttons on it. Nonsense letter and number combinations
come up and then the message: YOU HAVE REACHED TRAFFIC
CONTROL is displayed. Itchy becomes interested and comes
over to Malla. She pushes more buttons and a message
saying: NO STARSHIPS IN AREA is displayed. Malla switches
off the computer.
They both then go over to the shelves
again and pull
aside two panels to reveal a hidden communications
monitor. Appearing on the screen is Luke, in his pilot
uniform, and Artoo working on an engine in a workshop.
Luke, who is on his knees, looks up.
LUKE
(on monitor)
What's that?
(to Artoo)
Oh, Artoo, look. It's Chewbacca's family.
11. INT. WORKSHOP
Chewbacca's family waves at Luke and Artoo
from the
monitor on Luke's end.
12. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
On the monitor, Luke gives Artoo something.
LUKE
(to Artoo)
Here, keep working on it.
Luke gets up and walks toward his monitor.
LUKE
(to wookiees)
Hello Malla, Itchy. Hiya Lumpy.
The wookiees wave at Luke through the monitor.
LUKE
Where's Chewbacca?
All three of them start grunting and growling
at the same
time. Luke holds up his hands, as if to slow them down.
LUKE
Whoa, wait a minute! One at a time.
Itchy growls at Lumpy and Lumpy walks
away mad at him.
Malla then "explains" to Luke what is wrong.
LUKE
Yeah...
Something begins to smoke so Artoo whistles
and bumps
into Luke's leg. Luke just motions him away without
looking at what Artoo wants.
LUKE
Not now, Artoo.
Malla gets down the picture of Chewbacca
off of her shelf
and holds it up to her monitor. Artoo beeps more at Luke.
This time he notices the problem about the smoke.
LUKE
Uh, wait a minute, I don't like the
looks of this. Let me get this fixed.
More smoke pours out of the engine that
Luke was working
on. He takes a tool to it and adjusts something.
LUKE
(to Artoo)
Oh, Artoo, you're supposed to be watching
that... There, that ought to hold it. I
think.
He waves the smoke away and makes another
adjustment. He
then looks up to his monitor.
LUKE
(to Malla)
What's up?
He sees the picture of Chewbacca that Malla is holding.
LUKE
Chewbacca... yeah, well, bring him to the
screen. I want to say hello to him.
The wookiees shake their heads at Luke.
They continue
their growling.
LUKE
You don't know where he is? ...Oh, he's
not there yet. Is that it?
The wookiees shake their heads in agreement
at Luke's
answer.
LUKE
Oh boy. Well, all I can tell you is that,
uh, he and Han left here on schedule. If
he's not there now, they're way overdue.
There must've been trouble.
More smoke comes out of the engine and
Artoo beeps at
Luke. The wookiees start sounding upset.
LUKE
(to Artoo)
Artoo, please, this is important.
(to Malla)
Now, now listen. Calm down. I mean, you
know how Han and Chewbacca are - anything
could've happened - they could've, they
could've stopped off somewhere, or been
held up by an asteroid storm. Listen, I
wouldn't worry about Chewbacca, I know
him and he hasn't missed a Life Day yet,
right?
The wookiees nod in agreement at Luke on their monitor.
LUKE
Well, there you go! He's not going to
miss this one either. It's just taking
him a little longer to get there, that's
all. He'll make it.
Luke starts to turn away and notices the
"sad" expression
on Malla's face.
LUKE
Come on, don't look so worried. Now,
Chewie's not gonna wanna come home to a
house full of long faces, is he? Come on,
Malla. Let's see a little smile. Come on...
Malla finally gives in and smiles for
Luke. Luke smiles
back at her in response.
LUKE
There, that's better. Try to enjoy your
Life Day. I gotta get back to this engine.
I think we might have it solved.
Artoo touches the engine and smoke comes
out of it very
heavily.
LUKE
(to Artoo)
OH! ARTOO! What are you doing?! Oh no...
Artoo beeps at Luke. He looks up and pats
Artoo on his
dome.
LUKE
It's alright. Nobody's perfect.
Smoke continues to fill the workshop and
the wookiees
monitor's picture breaks up as the connection is broken.
They then close the secret panels to conceal the monitor.
Malla walks back over to the console that she used
earlier. She pushes more buttons on it and the screen
comes to life. First, the screen displays a message
saying: SUB TERMINAL 446B. Then, it flashes: STANDBY
followed by: CONNECT. The next screen pulls up the
message: TRADING POST WOOKIEE PLANET C. This then cuts to
a scene of a shop with an Imperial guard looking around
at the goods for sale. The owner of the establishment
walks into the store and notices the man. The owner is
Saundan.
SAUNDAN
Hello, an Imperial Guard. I suppose you
want to see my identification.
He reaches into his pocket to pull out his identification.
IMPERIAL GUARD
No, I'm off duty. I've come to look around
your shop.
SAUNDAN
Well, good, good, good. Look around,
browse around, make yourself at home...
As you can see I've got just about
everything a man or wookiee would want.
The Imperial Guard, who looking around
on a table picks
up a clear bag and examines it.
SAUNDAN
Oh here, let me show you this; I really
love this.
He picks up a small clear box with a dark
back on it. He
blows on it and shines it with his sleeve. He decides that
it is not good enough.
SAUNDAN
No...
He then picks up another and decides it
is not good
enough either.
SAUNDAN
Uh-uh...
He then gets one that has a green base and smiles.
SAUNDAN
Ah, here we are. Here it is. A pocket
sized aquarium. Wonderful, isn't it?
He hands the aquarium to the guard who
holds it up to
show the fish that are inside of it.
SAUNDAN
And, you can take it with you anywhere.
And the tank is a snap to clean.
IMPERIAL GUARD
I hate fish.
He puts the small tank back on the table
and browses some
more at what is on it.
SAUNDAN
Well, so do I, as a matter of fact. I
take a drink once and a while, but I just
thought I'd show you some of the stupid
stuff those wookiees purchase from me. Oh,
here...
He walks over to a shelf behind them and
gets a shoe box
sized container from off it.
SAUNDAN
Here's a hot little item that seems to be
moving pretty rapidly these days.
He sets the box on the table and opens
it. A warbling
buzzer sounds and makes him look up.
SAUNDAN
Excuse me, I got a wall screen customer.
He turns to the wall screen.
SAUNDAN
(to Malla)
Good to see you again.
Malla growls and waves to him.
SAUNDAN
Don't worry Malla. I know just why you're
calling. You're wondering when that
shaggy carpet you ordered will arrive at
your home.
Malla growls in agreement with his assumption.
SAUNDAN
Let me assure you madam, it's on its way.
You know, it was made especially for you
by a little old woman four planets away.
She did it all by herself. In fact, you
might say she did it by Han... Solo.
Malla growls enthusiastically at him.
SAUNDAN
Tho' it's going to take some time to get
to you. I know you'll understand.
He looks back to see if the Imperial Guard
is paying
attention to him.
SAUNDAN
(under his breath)
You understand don't you?
Malla growls agreement.
SAUNDAN
(normally)
Terrific! By the way, I'll be by later to
drop off that extra proton energy pack.
Malla waves farewell and growls.
SAUNDAN
You're welcome.
The call is terminated. Saundan turns
back to the Guard
who is still browsing around the shop. He then proceeds
to pick up the item from the box that he was showing
before the wall screen call.
SAUNDAN
(to guard)
What's a matter? Don't you like this?
IMPERIAL GUARD
It's just a groomer.
SAUNDAN
Just a groomer?
IMPERIAL GUARD
A groomer..
SAUNDAN
Just a groomer, you say? It's a lot more
than that.
He picks up the manual for the groomer out of its box.
SAUNDAN
Evidently, you haven't read the
instructions, the warranty, and the
guarantee.
(reading from the manual)
... besides shaving and hair trimming.
It's guaranteed to lift stains off
clothing, faces, and hands. Cleans teeth,
fingers, and toenails. Washes eyes,
pierces ears, calculates, modulates, and
syncopates like rhythms and can repeat
the entire Imperial Code, all 17 volumes,
in half the time of the old XP-21. Just
the thing to keep you squeaky clean.
He puts the manual down on the table.
SAUNDAN
I use one of these all the time.
IMPERIAL GUARD
Really?
Saundan glances down at himself and notices
how unkempt he
looks.
SAUNDAN
Well, not all the time, but some of the
time. Oh, another outstanding, uh,
feature of this little model - you can
recharge it by simply plugging it into
any ordinary laser outlet.
The Imperial Guard takes the groomer from
the Saundan's
hands and puts it in his belt.
IMPERIAL GUARD
I'll take it.
SAUNDAN
Good! I thought you would. Well, would you
like to pay me something for it or give me
something in trade?
IMPERIAL GUARD
I said I'll take it!
The Imperial Guard turns and leaves the
shop with the
groomer.
SAUNDAN
That's a load off my mind. I thought I
might embarrass you when I told you it
was a gift.
(to himself)
I don't like embarrassing people. I don't
like being embarrassed myself that's why
I, uh, don't like to embarrass people. I
just said that. ... just a groomer...
13. EXT. SPACE
Two Star Destroyers head across the screen.
14. INT. CORRIDOR
Darth Vader and an Imperial Officer are
walking down a
corridor.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
We've ordered a blockade and a curfew. And,
started a search operation. It's just a
matter of time before we find the Rebels.
DARTH VADER
I want the Rebels located and identified.
If it means searching every household in
the system.
15. EXT. WOOKIEE HOME - DAY
Again, we are outside the cartoonish tree
home of
Chewbacca's family.
16. INT. WOOKIEE HOME
Lumpy and Malla are in the kitchen finishing
the dishes.
Lumpy gets done drying the dishes and hands the towel to
his mother. He then waves at her and leaves the kitchen.
Malla just shakes her head at him. She then turns on the
monitor above the counter to a cooking show. A strange
looking "female" cook, Chef Gormaanda, comes on.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Hello...
Malla gives a greeting to the Chef Gormaanda.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Today we are going to be preparing a very
succulent dish called "Bantha Surprise."
Malla heads over to another counter and
get a large pot.
She brings it over by the monitor.
CHEF GORMAANDA
It's not only a very hearty, nourishing
dish, but it's very economical, too. So
all those hungry mouths in your household
will be going "yummy yum for their tummy
tum." If you just follow along with me as
I prepare this popular favorite.
Chef Gormaanda picks up a hunk of meat off of her counter.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Now, today I'm going to be using the
tenderest cut of the bantha: the loin.
The loin is very tasty and serves four
nicely. But, of course, if your family
has a hearty appetite, I would suggest
then that old popular holiday favorite:
The Bantha Rump.
Malla growls in agreement. Chef Gormaanda
drops her meat onto
the counter with a plop.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Um, very tender. Ah, we just slice into
bite-sized pieces.
Chef Gormaanda uses a small knife to slice
up her's. Malla
(whose meat is already in front of her) uses a large
meat cleaver to "slice" hers.
CHEF GORMAANDA
And only you know the size of a bite in
your family!
Chef Gormaanda points her knife at the
camera and winks to
emphasize her point.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Oh! Alright, now it's time to put our
chunks into our pots.
The two put their meat in the respective pots.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Nicely... nicely... Add a dash of negavo.
Chef Gormaanda tastes every ingredient
she names before putting
it in her pot.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Umm, very good. A sprig of celentery. Umm,
umm, just a bit of turshum, always nice.
And, uh. Um! Turshum is nice! And, just a
little whisper of chelchum. Ah, looking
very nice.
Malla growls.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Guess what I forgot? A bit of the
calarantrum root! Wonderful! Just adds
that touch of piquancy. There we go.
Very nice. Um! Now we add enough liquid
to cover.
They both pour liquid into their pots.
CHEF GORMAANDA
And guess what we're ready for now: the
cooking! Step one - we stir the mixture.
Stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir,
stir, stir, stir, stir, very nice.
Chef Gormaanda stirs her mixture with
every "stir" she says
with a spoon. Malla is stirring hers, too.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Now, step two - while we're stirring, we
also whip.
Chef Gormaanda picks up a whip with her
free hand. Malla follows
suit.
CHEF GORMAANDA
So it's stir, whip, stir, whip, whip,
whip, stir, stir, whip, stir, whip, whip,
whip, stir. Now, let's try it again
together at an increased tempo because
precision is very important in this
recipe and we do want a fine consistency,
don't we? So, and on the count of one -
stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir,
stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir.
Come on, faster altogether now. Cooking
can be fun.
(faster)
Stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir,
stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir.
Wah! Having fun, having fun, alright.
Having it all nicely, now. Step three -
we also have to beat.
A "third" hand comes from behind
Chef Gormaanda and picks up a
mallet. It places it in the pot.
CHEF GORMAANDA
So it's: beat, beat, beat, stir, whip,
stir, whip, beat, beat, stir. That's not
right. I'm sorry. Stir, whip, stir, whip,
whip, whip, stir, beat, stir, whip, stir,
whip, whip, whip, stir, beat. A ha ha,ha
ha ha, huh huh huh, huh huh huh. Coming...
coming along nicely. Mmmm, starting to
have a fine aroma.
Chef Gormaanda starts to sneeze. A "fourth"
hand appears from
behind the cook. The hand puts a finger to her nose to
stop the sneeze.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Whew, caught it just in time. Now at this
time, I usually like to taste the broth.
So, we'll have a little taste and see how
it's coming along.
The fourth hand picks up a ladle and dips
it in the pot
to get some broth. Chef Gormaanda tastes it. Malla just picks up
her whole pot and tastes it from there.
CHEF GORMAANDA
Mmmm, a little bit more turshum. A bit
negavo. A little tunkell. One for the pot,
um! Coming along very nice. Mmm! Oh,
wonderful! Coming along nicely...
Malla gets frustrated with keeping up
with Chef Gormaanda and
shuts off her monitor. She takes her pot and puts it on
the floor.
17. EXT. SPACE
Several TIE fighters are attacking the
Falcon. The ships
exchange fire and one of the TIEs are destroyed.
18. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
Chewie puts his arm around Han and growls.
Han smiles at
Chewie in return. Chewie growls again as the cockpit is
rocked from laser blasts.
HAN
Alright. Alright, the coordinates weren't
the best.
Chewie growls in agreement to Han's statement.
HAN
Out of the frying pan into the fryer, huh
pal? How should I know we'd come outta
hyperspace into the middle of an Imperial
convoy. At least against these fighters
we got more of a chance. However slim...
Chewie growls something to Han.
HAN
You can say that again. This is one Life
Day we won't soon forget. Wait, I lost
control of the remote cannons.
Chewie growls.
HAN
I'm gonna hafta run back and operate the
aft gun manually. Stay on things here.
Why do I always think that taking you
home for Life Day's gonna be easy?
Chewie just growls back at Han.
19. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Malla is standing near their shelves staring
at the
picture of Chewie that she is holding. Itchy is sleeping
in a chair. A loud buzzer sounds and wakes him up. The
two look around in alarm, not knowing what it means. The
wall screen comes on and an Imperial Officer appears on
it.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Attention all viewers.
Malla and Itchy walk over to the screen
to see what is the
problem.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Due to suspected Rebel activity on the
Kashyyyk planet, the Empire has declared
martial law. A blockade has been set up
around the planet. No ships will be
permitted to land or take off until
further notice.
A knock is heard at the door. Malla takes
Lumpy towards
the kitchen and Itchy goes to answer the door. He growls
to see who is at the door.
SAUNDAN
(off screen)
It's me Saundan.
Itchy opens the door and lets him in.
Saundan is carrying
a bag with a box in it in one hand and something that
looks like a "boom box" in the other. Both have bows on
them.
SAUNDAN
(on screen)
Hi, Itchy. I brought you that proton pack.
You know, for the, uh, the whatsis, the
whatchamalcalit, the, the thingamabob,
the mind evaporator. That's it, the mind
evaporator. Boy am I glad to see you
folks. How are my favorite wookiees today?
Why all the long hairy faces? I made it
through the Imperial patrol, didn't I? If
I made it, Chewie and Han will. Is this
all the big hello I get?
Lumpy runs up to him and gives him a hug.
Saundan takes
the box out of the bag and hands it to Lumpy.
SAUNDAN
I brought you somethin' special short
stuff. You want it? You got it. Happy Life
Day. I love to make a wookiee happy.
Lumpy takes the box and runs upstairs.
SAUNDAN
And now, for the lovely lady of the house.
He picks up the "boom box."
SAUNDAN
Happy Life Day.
Malla starts to take the box from him
but Saundan holds on
to it.
SAUNDAN
Now wait a, wait a minute, not so fast.
What does an old friend get? Well?
Malla gives him a kiss on the cheek and
he gives her the
box.
SAUNDAN
That's more like it.
20. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S ROOM
Lumpy runs up into his bedroom. There
are toys scattered
all over, including a stuffed bantha. He sits the box on
the floor and opens it. Inside is some kind of electronic
do-it-yourself kit. Lumpy pulls it out and dumps all the
parts on his floor.
21. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
SAUNDAN
(to Itchy)
Itchy, I know what you'd like.
Itchy and Saundan walk over to the mind
evaporator. It is
a chair with a helmet and visor. Itchy sits in the chair.
SAUNDAN
I'll insert this proton pack.
Saundan inserts the proton pack into the back of the chair.
SAUNDAN
Now then Itchy, I thought you might like
this. It's one of those uh... oh, it's a
real... it's kinda hard to explain... WOW,
if you know what I mean.
(to himself)
Put that right in there.
He places a small cartridge in the arm of the chair.
SAUNDAN
(to Itchy)
Happy Life Day. And I do mean happy Life
Day.
The program starts. It is a swirling kaleidoscope
of light.
Several beings swim through the designs.
WOMAN
(voice only)
I know you're searching for me. Searching,
searching... I'm here. My voice is for you
alone.
A blurry image of a woman appears in the
middle of the
swirling.
WOMAN
I am found in your eyes only. I exist for
you alone. I am in your mind as you create
me. Oh, yes... I can feel my creation.
A woman with pink stringy hair comes completely
in focus.
She giggles.
WOMAN
(on monitor)
I'm getting your message. Are you getting
mine?
Itchy growls a happy affirmative.
WOMAN
Oh, oh... We are excited, aren't we? Well,
just relax. Just relax. Yes, a little more.
Now, we can have a good time, can't we?
I'll tell you a secret, I find you
adorable.
Itchy hits the repeat button.
WOMAN
I'll tell you a secret, I find you
adorable.
Itchy hits the repeat button again.
WOMAN
I find you adorable.
Itchy hits the repeat button one more time.
WOMAN
I find you adorable.
Itchy growls.
WOMAN
I don't need to ask how you find me.
(with echo)
You see, I am your fantasy. I am your
experience. So experience me. I am your
pleasure. Enjoy me. This is our moment
together in time that we might turn this
moment into an eternity.
Music starts to play.
WOMAN
(singing)
If we could only bend this minute.
Infinitely extend this minute. Then I
could live my whole life right now.
Reality is sweet this minute. Can't we
repeat and repeat this minute? Why can't
it always be right now? I've parted with
yesterday. Yesterday's moment is cold. All
I ask is this moment to hold. How can we
ever lose this minute? From all my life, I
choose this minute. I will give up the old
and the new. Sharing with you this minute
now. If I could just hold my breath and
close my eyes and not make a sound. Will
the universe stop going 'round? Still the
universe keeps going 'round and 'round and
on and on and on and on and on. A minute's
almost gone. How can we ever, ever lose
this minute? From all my life, I choose
this minute. I will never need anything
more than living for this minute now. This
minute now. This minute now. This minute
now. This minute now. This minute now.
This minute now. This minute now. This
minute now. This minute now.
The program ends with the woman fading
into the swirling
that it started with.
22. INT. REBEL OFFICE
Threepio is trying to make a connection
on the
communications device. Leia is behind a desk working on
something. Malla answers at her end of the line.
THREEPIO
(to Leia)
Ah, I have made the connection. You may
speak now, if you wish.
Leia gets up from he desk and walks over to the monitor.
LEIA
Malla, it's good to see you. Happy Life
Day.
Malla growls.
THREEPIO
(translating)
Oh, she says it may be a happy Life Day
for you, but personally, she's seen
happier ones.
LEIA
(to Threepio)
I... I don't want to tie up the channels.
(to Malla)
So, could you do me a favor and send
either Chewbacca or Han Solo to the
screen please?
Malla growls and shakes he head "no.".
THREEPIO
(translating)
She says that she would like to grant your
request, but is quite unable to do so.
LEIA
(to Malla)
You mean they haven't arrived yet?
Malla growls.
THREEPIO
(translating)
She says, there has been no contact.
LEIA
(to Threepio)
Yes, I think I understand her message. Oh,
that Imperial patrol must be giving them
more trouble than we bargained for. Oh...
(to Malla)
Malla, are, are you alone?
Malla growls that she isn't.
THREEPIO
(to Leia)
If, you would permit me.
(translating)
No, she says she is not alone. She's with
a friend.
LEIA
(to Malla)
Could he come to the screen, please?
Malla growls and motions for Saundan to
come over to the
monitor. He does as she says.
SAUNDAN
(to Leia)
Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm Saundan, a local
trader. A friend of the rebellion and a
member of the Alliance.
LEIA
(to Saundan)
Good. Look, I know I can count on you to
take care of my friends until their leader
returns. You'll do that for me, won't you?
SAUNDAN
Yes indeed, ma'am. That's what I'm here
for.
Malla growls and puts her arm around Saundan
very
affectionately.
THREEPIO
(translating)
She is expressing her warmth towards the
trader.
Leia is slightly amused by Threepio's
need to translate
that and smiles.
LEIA
(to Malla)
Look, I can see you're in good hands,
Malla. I'll contact you again, soon.
The call ends.
23. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
SAUNDAN
(to Malla)
Now then, what's that I smell? Oh, could
it be some of those famous wookiee
ookiees?
Malla shakes her head "yes"
and they head towards the
kitchen. They also leave open the panels that conceal
their secret communications monitor.
24. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
Chewie growls at Han.
HAN
I told you we'd make it. Did I ever let
you down?
Chewie growls affectionately at Han.
HAN
I feel the same way about you too, pal.
And your family.
25. EXT. SPACE NEAR KASHYYYK
The Falcon is heading towards the green planet of Kashyyyk.
26. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
HAN
I've never seen so much Imperial traffic
in this system.
A display is shown of the Imperial traffic
to show Han's
point.
HAN
Better land on the north side. It'll be
safer there.
Chewie growls.
HAN
So, it's a long walk. A little exercise
never hurt anybody.
27. EXT. SPACE AROUND KASHYYYK
The Falcon is just about to enter the
atmosphere of the
planet.
28. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
HAN
Happy Life Day, pal.
29. EXT. SURFACE OF KASHYYYK
The Falcon flies over a forest on the
surface of the
planet Kashyyyk.
30. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S ROOM
Lumpy looks up at the sound of a ship
flying overhead. He
becomes very excited.
31. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Malla and Saundan are seated at the table
as they hear the
sound of the ship. The stand up excitedly.
SAUNDAN
Sounds like a starship. What I tell ya?
Must be Chewbacca now!
Malla growls happily at his announcement.
32. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S ROOM
Lumpy runs towards the stairs and heads down.
33. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Malla and Lumpy meet at the door and open
it only to be
greeted by two stormtroopers with blasters pointed at
them. The stormtroopers enter, followed by an Imperial
guard and an Imperial officer. Saundan walk quietly over
to the secret communications monitor and closes the
panels to conceal it. The Imperial guard walks up to the
officer with some device in his hand.
IMPERIAL GUARD
(to officer)
This unit is occupied by four wookiees.
Two adult males, one adult female, and
one male child.
The officer snaps his fingers and dismisses
the Imperial
guard. He then walks over to where the huddled group of
wookiees and Saundan are gathered.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to Malla)
Where is the other wookiee male?
Malla just growls and Saundan walks over
to the Imperial
Officer.
SAUNDAN
Officer, uh, maybe I could be of some help
there, sir.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to Saundan)
Who are you and what are you doing in this
wookiee house?
SAUNDAN
Oh, I'm a trader in this district. You see,
the uh, uh the truth of the matter is she
had a terrible fight with her husband and
he just stormed right out.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Your identification.
SAUNDAN
Uh...
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(yelling)
I said it!
(normally)
Your identification.
SAUNDAN
Oh, identification, yes. It's a very
important thing, identification. I, I
never leave the shop without my
identification. It's uh, it's very
important, just in times like this.
The Imperial officer gets the pad from
the guard and
snaps his fingers at a stormtrooper. The stormtrooper
points his blaster in Saundan's face.
SAUNDAN
I just found my identification. I think
it's in my pocket.
He pull his identification out of his
pocket and hands it
to the Imperial officer.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to his troops)
Search the dwelling.
The officer snaps his fingers to signal
his men. They
begin to spread out and search the house.
SAUNDAN
Officer, you may notice that little
leather case that I carry my
identification card in. I whipped that up
myself. That's a pretty fast selling little item.
Saundan laughs nervously.
SAUNDAN
Uh... uh well, some people like to keep
things neat and clean and that's why uh,
I have the little leather case for the
identification card. As a matter of fact,
if any of you guys want a couple of those
leather cases. I've gotta couple of extra
ones here.
One of the stormtroopers pulls open one
of the panels
that conceal the communications monitor. He doesn't
notice that the other panel opens and closes it. Saundan,
who was watching this, is very relieved.
SAUNDAN
Oh, officer, that uh, that picture you're
looking at right now was taken quite a
few years ago. That's uh, one of me. I've
gained quite a bit of weight since then.
Saundan laughs nervously again. The Imperial
guard kneels
down in front of Lumpy
IMPERIAL GUARD
(to Lumpy)
Hello little guy. Where's your daddy?
Lumpy snaps at the Imperial guard.
IMPERIAL GUARD
(angrily)
Hey, they have no respect for authority!
The guard pulls his arm back to strike
Lumpy. Malla steps
forward and growls angrily at him. Saundan steps between
them and separates them.
SAUNDAN
(to guard)
Excuse me. I beg your pardon. Uh, maybe
you know my brother's boy. He's a member
of the Imperial militia. He must be 24 or
25 years old by know. Good little guy...
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to Saundan)
Your identification is in order. You can
go now.
The officer walks over to Saundan and
gives him back his
identification.
SAUNDAN
(to officer)
Thank you, thank you very much. I just
have a little more work to finish up here
and uh, oh by the way, uh, while I'm
finishing up here uh, why don't you boys
uh, take it easy. Relax. Put your feet up
and make yourself at home. Wookiee food
isn't the greatest but I'm sure I can
whip something up in the kitchen that we
can all eat.
(to Malla)
Uh, you don't mind do ya, Malla?
Malla growls something back at Saundan.
SAUNDAN
(forcefully)
Malla will you come in the kitchen to
help me.
Malla goes to the table to get her "boom
box" on the way
to the kitchen. The guard pulls it away from her and
examines it. Malla howls in anger.
SAUNDAN
(to guard)
What are doing with that thing? That's a
very delicate piece of workmanship.
Saundan goes to Malla and comforts her.
The guard puts the
machine back on the table.
SAUNDAN
(to Malla)
Alright Malla, it's alright.
(to guard)
The slightest jarring will mess up the
whole works. If you're going to play
around with it let me show you how.
He reaches towards the machine and a stormtrooper
pulls
his blaster and puts it in his face.
SAUNDAN
Relax, I gotta turn it on, don't I?
The guard motions for the stormtrooper
to put his blaster
up. The stormtrooper complies.
SAUNDAN
Just sit down and enjoy it, okay?
Saundan pulls a chair out for the guard.
The guard sits
down in it.
SAUNDAN
Here we go.
Saundan opens the front of the box which
folds down. He
fools around needlessly with it. He then "sees" a bug and
claps it in his hands. He then drops it to the floor and
stomps on it. This is too much for the guard. He stands
up and yells at Saundan.
IMPERIAL GUARD
(angrily)
Will you get on with it?
SAUNDAN
Okay, okay.
Saundan pushes one button on it and walks
away. The box
starts to produce music and the guard sits back down in
front of it. With the beat of it a small pink light
flashes. A band slowly starts to appear.
SINGER
God, all dignified, if you want to. What
I would really like to know. Will you
light the sky on fire? Will you light
tonight like you did the night before?
Hey! You could take me higher than the
diamonds in the sky. Take me, light in
the sky and we'll vanish without a trace
and we'll see God then. Temples and
mirrors interest me. Though all there
really is to know. Will you light the sky
on fire? Will you light the sky on fire
again tonight? You can take me higher
than the diamonds in the sky. Take me,
we'll vanish without a trace and then
we'll all see God then. On the pyramids of
the legend. The great god Kopa Khan came
from the stars and vanished. And the
legends say he will come back again
someday, someday... Will you light the
sky on fire? Will you light tonight like
you did the night before. You can take me
higher than the diamonds in the sky. Take
me, light in the sky and we'll vanish
without a trace, And then we'll see god
then. Yes, I would really like to know.
What I've been watching this for. Yes, I
would really like to know. Will you light
the sky on fire? Will you light the sky
like you did the night before? You could
take me higher than the diamonds in the
sky. Take me, we'll vanish without a
trace. And we'll all see God then. Vanish
without a trace. Vanish without a trace.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come
on, let's vanish without a trace. Come on,
come on, come on, come on, come on, we'll
vanish without a trace.
As the music ends the band slowly disappears
only to
leave the pulsating pink light. When the music comes to
an end the light stops. Saundan walks back over to the
guard.
SAUNDAN
I knew you'd like it.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Your work here is finished. You may leave
now.
SAUNDAN
I guess you're right. It's about all I
can do for now. I hope you guys find what
you're looking for. Keep up the good work.
Saundan turns to go and stops where the
wookiees are
huddled.
SAUNDAN
(to Malla)
Malla.
(to Itchy)
Itchy, please...
Itchy hands him the bag that he brought
Lumpy's gift in
earlier.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Alright, finish the search of the
residence.
The Imperial officer snaps his fingers
at his troops.
Saundan who is just about gone turns back into the house.
SAUNDAN
Oh, I almost forgot. I want to leave you
my card in case you need any of uh, oh...
A stormtrooper stops him with his blaster
pointed at his
face. Saundan turns to leave again.
SAUNDAN
Okay, I'm leaving.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Investigate the upper area. Check for
any Rebel material. Anything to connect
this household with the Alliance.
Saundan again heads back into the house.
SAUNDAN
Oh, don't forget about those protective
cases for your identification card. I
gotta good item...
The stormtrooper again stops Saundan with his blaster.
SAUNDAN
That's it, I'm gone.
Saundan finally leaves.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Finish the search of the house. We have
other areas to cover today.
The officer points his hand in a stormtrooper's face.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to stormtrooper)
You! Take the upper area.
Lumpy tries to stop the stormtrooper from
going upstairs
but is violently pushed aside by him. Malla jumps to her
son's aid only to be stopped by the other stormtrooper's
blaster in her face. The officer pushes the blaster away
from Malla.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uhh... We don't want
to have to hurt anyone. That's not what
we're here for.
The officer snaps his fingers at the stormtrooper
to
dismiss him. The stormtrooper walks away.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
But, when my men get angry I can't always
control them. We are going to continue
our search. Now keep him quiet and I'll
forget this ever happened.
Malla takes Lumpy over to a table and
chair. There is a
small yellow box and pair of headphones on it. Lumpy sits
down and puts on the headphones. He then presses a button.
Strange lettering appear on the small screen. Lumpy looks
around to see if anyone is watching him. He sees a
stormtrooper and a guard going up the staircase. Lumpy
pushes a button on the box and a cartoon starts on the
screen.
34. EXT. SPACE - ASTEROID FIELD
The camera goes through an asteroid field
until it comes
to a stop on a Rebel base. A large portal is in the side
of the station. Through it is seen a bustle of activity
going on inside.
CAPTAIN KAZAN
(voice over)
Starlog 3-24-1 from the bridge of the
cruiser RS Reekvange, captain Kazan
reporting. We are awaiting the return of
captain Han Solo and his first mate,
Chewbacca. Who are long overdue on a
delicate mission to acquire the mystical
talisman, which has been sought by our
forces and the Empire.
35. INT. REBEL BASE - CONTROL ROOM
Luke, Leia, C-3PO, and Rebel General are
looking out the
portal into the asteroid field. Artoo rolls down a ramp
and whistles at Threepio.
THREEPIO
(to Artoo)
The talisman - it makes things invisible,
I think.
Artoo beeps another question.
THREEPIO
Yes, even you. Which I think might be an
improvement.
A red colored alien with a headset is
sitting at a
communications console. He is a communications officer.
On the monitor, a blip is headed towards their base in
the asteroid field.
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
We've picked up something.
LUKE
It's the Millennium Falcon.
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
They're coming out of lightspeed. I can't
make contact.
REBEL GENERAL
Try a lower channel.
The radar display fades and a view of
the cockpit of the
Falcon is shown. Chewie is seated and Han can be seen
hanging upside down in the background.
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
(into headset)
Falcon, do you copy? Come in Falcon.
LUKE
It's Chewie. But where's Han?
LEIA
That's him! Hanging upside down!
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
(to Rebel General)
I can't make radio contact.
REBEL GENERAL
He's on a collision course. Princess,
we're in mortal danger from our own
forces.
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
(into headset)
Falcon, do you copy?
REBEL GENERAL
This is madness.
LUKE
You're right General. I can't understand
what Chewbacca's doing.
LEIA
Whatever he's doing, there must be a
reason. Hold your fire.
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
(to Rebel General)
We've lost all contact, sir.
The monitor with Chewie on it goes to static.
36. EXT. SPACE - ASTEROID FIELD
The Falcon is headed straight for the Rebel base.
REBEL GENERAL
(voice over)
Standby. The Falcon is near impact.
The Falcon changes direction at the last
minute and
speeds away from the base.
37. INT. REBEL BASE - CONTROL ROOM
LUKE
I'm going after them.
LEIA
Luke, take Artoo with you.
Artoo whistles.
LUKE
(to Threepio)
What'd he say?
THREEPIO
If something has happened to captain Solo
and Chewbacca is alone, you will need me
to interpret.
38. EXT. SPACE
A Y-wing flies through the asteroid filed
and follows the
Falcon. The Falcon fires several shots at the Y-wing but
miss.
39. INT. Y-WING - COCKPIT
Luke and Threepio are both seated in the
cockpit. Laser
blasts flash past the canopy of the fighter.
THREEPIO
Sir, he's firing on us.
LUKE
I know, but I don't think he means to hit
us. Chewie's a better shot than that.
40. EXT. SPACE
The Falcon accelerates and speeds away
from the pursuing
Y-wing.
THREEPIO
(voice over)
Look, he's speeding up. We're losing him.
LUKE
(voice over)
Not for long.
41. INT. Y-WING - COCKPIT
Luke holds his headset microphone closer
to his mouth and
speaks into it.
LUKE
(into headset)
This is Y-4 to base. He's heading
straight for a moon in the Panos system.
42. EXT. MOON - OCEAN - DAY
The Falcon flies into a red jelly-like
ocean. It goes
under the surface and pops back up on balloons.
43. EXT. SPACE
The Y-wing is headed for the same moon
that the Falcon
landed on. The Y-wing is shaking from entering the moon's
atmosphere.
LUKE
(voice over)
Hang on Artoo.
44. INT. Y-WING COCKPIT
The cockpit of the ship is shaking violently.
THREEPIO
What about me? I'm going to shake apart!
45. INT. REBEL BASE - CONTROL ROOM
Leia and the communications officer are
at the comm unit.
Luke's transmissions are being monitored by them.
LUKE
(over speaker)
We're approaching the water planet. We're
following Han and Chewie...
The message is cut off by static.
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
We've lost them.
46. EXT. MOON - OCEAN - DAY
The Y-wing is headed for the ocean.
LUKE
Hang on, Threepio. We're going in.
THREEPIO
Are you sure this is the best way, sir?
The Y-wing bounces on the surface of the
water several
times before coming to a rest. Artoo whistles and
balloons inflate to keep the ship above water.
47. INT. Y-WING - COCKPIT
Threepio is in the back seat upside down.
Luke who wound
up under the dashboard, sits up.
THREEPIO
Master Luke, sir, are you all right?
LUKE
Yes. How 'bout Artoo?
Artoo whistles that he is. Luke pushes
a button on the
dashboard and it beeps.
LUKE
Our comlinks are out. We can't contact the
base.
48. EXT. MOON - OCEAN - DAY
The Y-wing is floating on the ocean. The
cockpit hatch
opens.
THREEPIO
Where are you going, sir?
Luke stands up and looks around with his macrobinoculars.
LUKE
To see if I can locate the Falcon by
visual sighting. Maybe it's close by.
A large creature has risen up from the
water behind the
Y-wing and roars. Luke drops his macrobinoculars and
pulls out his blaster. He fires on the creature and hits
it in the head. The creature just licks his licks as if
it liked being shot.
LUKE
(to Artoo)
Artoo, stand by to fire the ejection pod.
The creature reaches its long neck down
and takes a bite
out of the rear of the ship.
THREEPIO
And hurry Artoo or we'll be desert soon.
The front of the ship detaches and speeds
away. The
creature is hit by a ray that makes it dive into the
ocean. The ray came from a forked rifle held by Boba Fett.
He is seated in a saddle on another of the creatures.
THREEPIO
What is it, master Luke?
LUKE
I'm not sure.
(to Boba)
You saved my life. Thank you.
BOBA FETT
You are alone?
LUKE
I have two droids. We've come in search
of a ship that crashed near here.
BOBA FETT
Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The
ship you seek is nearby.
LUKE
Are the Imperial troops near this planet?
BOBA FETT
They are here, friend and growing more
powerful.
LUKE
How far away?
The creature that Boba is riding licks
what remains of
Luke's Y-wing. Boba smacks the creature with his rifle.
BOBA FETT
(to creature)
Settle down.
(to Luke)
All they do is eat.
Luke pulls out a ration pack.
LUKE
This is all we have but uh, he's welcome
to it.
The creature wraps it tongue around the
pack and pulls it
out of Luke's hands and into its mouth. It chews it and
then swallows.
BOBA FETT
You are foolish to waste your kindness on
this dumb creature. No lower life form is
worth going hungry for, friend. I take it
you have no love of the Empire.
LUKE
I don't.
BOBA FETT
Well, neither do I. It will be easy to
find the ship you seek. Follow me,
friend.
He hits his mount with his rifle and the
creature begins
to move.
49. INT. Y-WING - COCKPIT
THREEPIO
Don't you think it might be imprudent to
trust him so quickly, sir?
LUKE
He's our only chance. And, besides he
seems like a friend.
Artoo beeps.
THREEPIO
Indeed, friend is merely a term that is
often misused.
50. EXT. MOON - OCEAN - DAY
Luke's Y-wing follows Boba Fett across
the ocean. Several
moons can be seen in the sky.
LUKE
(voice over)
Did Artoo say that?
THREEPIO
Words to that affect.
We then see the Millennium Falcon floating
on its
balloons.
51. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON
Chewie is holding the glowing talisman
in his hands. Luke
is standing a doorway.
LUKE
Chewie, you've got the talisman. What's
wrong?
Chewie growls.
LUKE
No, don't destroy it!
Chewie drops the talisman out of a porthole.
Luke glows
and then slumps to the floor.
LUKE
The talisman...
Boba sees Luke on the ground and fires
a rope from his
wrist at Chewie. The rope wraps itself around Chewie.
THREEPIO
Boba Fett, no! He's a friend. Don't hurt
him, Boba Fett.
BOBA FETT
What did he do to Luke?
Boba releases the rope that is holding
Chewie. Artoo
whistles.
THREEPIO
He didn't do anything. R2-D2 has detected
contamination.
Chewie picks up Luke and carries him down
a corridor.
Everyone follows him.
THREEPIO
It must have come from the talisman.
Artoo whistles.
THREEPIO
Artoo says it's some kind of sleeping
virus that only affects humans.
Chewie growls and then hangs Luke upside down next to Han.
THREEPIO
He says the only way to keep them alive is
to let the blood rush to their heads.
BOBA FETT
I know this sleeping virus the Empire
uses on its enemies. They have a remedy
for it in the city. I could get some for
you.
Chewie growls.
THREEPIO
I'm afraid, Chewbacca insists on going
with you.
BOBA FETT
You'll only get in the way. But, if you
must. Come on.
52. EXT. MOON - OCEAN NEAR CITY - DAY
Chewie and Boba ride his creature towards
the city. When
they arrive, they climb up into the city through a duct.
53. EXT. CITY - STREET - DAY
Boba Fett and Chewie are standing in a
doorway of a
building. There are many aliens around - either walking
or standing.
BOBA FETT
You stay here while I get the serum.
Chewie growls.
BOBA FETT
I said stay, friend. Luke trusted me and
I'm your only chance of getting out of
here alive. Do you understand me?
Chewie growls that he does. Boba walks
away from Chewie
and walks the streets past many exotic aliens. He sees a
shop with a sign advertising the serum.
CAPTAIN KAZAN
(voice over)
Starlog update: although Boba Fett
quickly located the serum for the
sleeping virus - we had no idea of his
real plan.
Boba goes to a public communications unit
and inserts a
card into it. Darth Vader appears on the monitor.
BOBA FETT
I have made contact with the Rebels and
all is proceeding as you wish, Darth
Vader.
54. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
At this revelation, Lumpy has a fit and
starts howling.
The Imperial officer hears him howling and walks over to
him. Lumpy quickly pushes a button on the yellow box and
a game comes up.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
What is it now? Oh is that all, just some
silly game.
Lumpy shakes his head "yes."
The officer walks away and
leaves him alone. Lumpy pushes another button and the
cartoon comes back on.
55. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON
Threepio is checking Han and Luke with a strange device.
THREEPIO
Yes, their metabolisms are slowing down.
I wonder what's keeping Chewbacca. Try to
find them on the viewscreen.
Artoo plugs his "arm" into the
viewscreen controls. Darth
Vader appears on the monitor.
THREEPIO
Darth Vader!
DARTH VADER
(on monitor)
Good work, but I want them alive. Now that
you've got their trust, they may take you
to their new base.
The viewscreen switches from Darth to Boba.
BOBA FETT
(on monitor)
This time we'll get them all.
The viewscreen switches back to Darth.
DARTH VADER
(on monitor)
I see why they call you the best bounty
hunter in the galaxy.
THREEPIO
Oh no! What will we do now?
56. EXT. CITY - STREET - DAY
A group of stormtroopers march by where
Chewie is still
hiding in the doorway. Boba Fett returns.
BOBA FETT
I have the serum.
Chewie sniffs the air as if he smells something.
BOBA FETT
We must leave quickly, friend.
57. EXT. MOON - OCEAN - DAY
Boba Fett and Chewie flee the city on
the creature. They
are followed by an Imperial gun boat manned by
stormtroopers. The boat fires on the creature carrying
Boba and Chewie and miss. Boba pulls out his blaster and
fires on the boat. He misses. Chewie takes the blaster
out of his hand and fires on the boat. He hits it and it
explodes.
58. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON
Han and Luke are both untied and conscious.
They are
still groggy from the sleeping virus.
BOBA FETT
Are you all right?
LUKE
I'm not sure.
HAN
What happened?
LUKE
I don't know.
HAN
Well, somebody must know something.
Chewie growls.
HAN
He says our friend Boba found serum for
the talisman virus.
LUKE
Boba, you're a hero and a faithful friend.
You must come back with us.
Artoo goes nuts.
LUKE
(to Threepio)
What's the matter with Artoo?
THREEPIO
I'm afraid, sir, it's because you said
Boba is a friend and faithful ally. That
simply does not feed properly into
Artoo's information bank.
LUKE
What are you talking about?
THREEPIO
We intercepted a message between Boba and
Darth Vader, sir. Boba Fett is Darth
Vader's right hand man. I'm afraid this
whole adventure has been an Imperial plot.
BOBA FETT
We'll meet again, friend.
Boba walks toward a small panel with his
blaster drawn.
He pushes a button on the panel and a hatch opens in the
ceiling of the Falcon. He ignites his backpack and flies
out of the ship.
HAN
Well, trust a droid to get to the bottom
of things.
LUKE
Boba sure fooled the rest of us.
59. INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
Chewie growls as everyone enters the cockpit
of the
Falcon. Han and Chewie take their seats.
THREEPIO
I beg your pardon, sir. Chewbacca
suspected all along there was something
bad about Boba.
LUKE
How did you know, Chewie?
Chewie growls and holds his nose.
THREEPIO
May I quote directly, sir? He just didn't
smell right.
Everyone laughs at this.
60. EXT. SPACE
The Falcon flies from the planet and heads for space.
HAN
(voice over)
Well, lets's get off this galactic
raindrop.
CAPTAIN KAZAN
(voice over)
Captain Kazan, starlog 3-24-1 signing off.
May the force be with you.
61. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
The cartoon ends. Lumpy applauds.
62. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S ROOM
The Imperial guard and a stormtrooper
tear apart Lumpy's
room searching for Rebel material. They throw his toys
and belongings all over. The guard even decides to tear
the head off of Lumpy's stuffed bantha doll. He then
tosses it to the floor.
IMPERIAL GUARD
(to stormtrooper)
Let's go.
The two head down the staircase.
63. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
The guard and stormtrooper come down the stairs.
IMPERIAL GUARD
(to officer)
Nothing up there.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to Lumpy)
Go clean up your room.
Lumpy reluctantly turns off his game and
goes up to his
room.
64. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S ROOM
Lumpy goes into his room and howls at
the condition that
the Imperials left his room in.
65. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Malla looks upset at hearing her son's cry.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to Malla)
That will keep him busy for a while.
66. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S ROOM
Lumpy sees his bantha doll in pieces.
He picks up the
head and hugs it to his chest. He then picks up the body
and carries the parts over to his bed. He lays the head
and body on his bed and covers them up with a blanket. He
then starts to search his room for the cassette that came
with the gift that Saundan brought him earlier. He finds
it and inserts it into the monitor in his room. The tape
starts to play and show a man holding an assembled
mini-transmitter. A woman's voice begins to speak.
WOMAN'S VOICE
(over speaker)
This product was packed under strict
quality control on the system Amorphia
and this instructional cassette provided
by the manufacturer. It offers a unique
chance for consumers everywhere to meet
an Amorphian being. The motor abilities
of Amorphian citizens are frequently
impaired by malfunctions which results in
a temporary loss of power. This in no way
reflects on the safety of our product,
rather it should serve as a guarantee of
our high standards of long wear and
durability.
The Amorphian puts the transmitter on
a table and starts
his instructions.
AMORPHIAN BEING
(on monitor)
Thank you for selecting our brand of
mini-transmitter. If you assemble it
properly, following the instructions I'm
about to give you. It will provide
(slowing down)
many years of fun and valuable services.
(normally)
But, now let's get started, shall we?
First, find the sealed package containing
all the tools you'll need. Ah, it looks
like this.
The man picks up a clear zip-lock bag.
Lumpy picks up
his, also.
AMORPHIAN BEING
Try not to rip it open because it makes a
very handy storage case for your tools
until you need them again.
He pulls a small tool out of his bag.
AMORPHIAN BEING
Now, this is the first thing you'll need.
Please be careful not to hurt yourself on
the sharp edges.
He touches the tool's point and pulls
his hand back in
pain.
AMORPHIAN BEING
(slowing down)
Ouch.
He picks up a very small item. Lumpy looks
through his
stuff to find his.
AMORPHIAN BEING
(normally)
Now, find the circuit breaker module and
by the way, let's start calling these
components by their proper names.
(slowing down)
Circuit breaker module.
(normally)
Remember, every one of the ten thousand
terminals on your circuit breaker module
is marked in a particular color. Beautiful,
aren't they? Like a rainbow. These must be
connected with the wires with the
corresponding colors. So, red goes to red.
Blue goes to blue and so on. Now, watch me
closely.
(irregular speed)
And we'll assemble our mini-transmitters
together. Let us work slowly and
methodically because this is a job worth
doing well.
(normally)
Well, I see time is running out. So, we
better turn our attention to the assembly
of the impulse to voice translator. The
impulse to voice translator. The very
heart of the mini-transmitter which
converts electronic energy which provide
into any of a thousand
(slowing down)
recognizable languages. We must remain
alert for this very complicated procedure.
Endurance and concentration are the key
words here and the total utilization of
our neural cranial synapsis is absolutely
essential.
While the Amorphian is saying his last
part of dialogue,
he crumples slowly to the floor until his head comes to
rest on the table. The cassette ends. Lumpy gets to work
on assembling his mini-transmitter.
67. EXT. WOOKIEE HOME - DAY
The camera zooms in on the second story
of Chewbacca's
family's home.
68. INT. WOOKIEE HOME- LUMPY'S ROOM
Lumpy is seated on the floor. He is busy
at work putting
together his mini-transmitter.
69. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
The Imperial officer and guard are talking
quietly with
one another. The wall screen beeps and the Imperials walk
over to see what the announcement is. The screen shows a
view of Tatooine from space.
MALE ANNOUNCER
(over speaker)
The following live broadcast is
recommended by the Imperial council in
the belief that your commitment to remain
upstanding citizens will be reinforced.
It is required viewing for all members of
the Imperial forces.
The screen cuts to various scenes of activity
in the
streets of Mos Eisley.
FEMALE ANNOUNCER
(over speaker)
Time now for life on Tatooine. Brought to
viewers everywhere in the hope that our
own lives may be uplifted by the
comparison and enriched with the
gratitude of relief. This transmission is
unrehearsed and unedited and is hereby
begun without further comment as to its
lack of moral value.
The monitor cuts to a view inside of a
cantina. There are
dozens of bizarre aliens seated throughout. The bar's
patrons are being entertained by a Bith band. Tork, the
bar's bouncer, picks up a customer from his seat and
takes him out of the bar. A man walks into the bar past
the exiting Tork and companion. The man is Krelman and he
is carrying a flower in his hand. The bartender, Ackmena,
interrupts two aliens seated at the bar who are
conversing.
ACKMENA
Well, I'm certainly not going to get rich
with customers like you. I thought I
taught you to drink faster than that. Well,
at least you're steady. Oh, come on now.
Drink up. There's plenty more where that
came from.
Krelman walks up to the bar and takes
a seat. He places
the flower on the countertop.
ACKMENA
(to Krelman)
What'll it be?
KRELMAN
Hello, Ackmena.
ACKMENA
Okay, we'll do it your way. Hello. Now,
we'll do it my way. What'll it be?
KRELMAN
Can we talk?
ACKMENA
Well of course we can talk. We are talking.
You're not ordering. I'm not pouring. We
are not drinking. We are talking.
Ackmena moves the flower aside that He brought.
ACKMENA
I'm moving this to make room for a drink,
so that next time I say "what'll it be"
and you tell me. I can put it right there.
KRELMAN
Doesn't matter. Give me anything.
He points to a red pitcher behind the bar.
KRELMAN
I'll have one of those.
Ackmena gets the pitcher and pours some
of it's contents
into a glass in front of him.
KRELMAN
I'm sorry I couldn't get back before.
ACKMENA
Ah, before what?
KRELMAN
Uh, until now, until tonight. I thought
about it a dozen times. I had to be sure.
ACKMENA
Ah, excuse me. I have a customer waiting.
I'll be right back.
She walks away from him.
KRELMAN
"Come back soon, I'll be waiting."
Ackmena pours a drink for an Ithorian
who is seated
farther down the bar. Krelman pours his drink into the
top of his head.
KRELMAN
Ackmena?
She hesitantly walks back over to Krelman.
ACKMENA
How's your drink?
KRELMAN
It's all gone. Look, there's a flower on
top of it.
ACKMENA
I see there is. Do you want another drink?
KRELMAN
The flower is for you. I wanted to bring
you something and that's all I could
think of.
ACKMENA
I don't get many flowers. I uh... but you
didn't have to bring me anything Ah, ah...
KRELMAN
Krelman.
ACKMENA
Krelman, what a nice name.
KRELMAN
When I left here the other night, I felt
something that I haven't felt in longer
than I care to remember. I felt alive
again. Someone made me feel like all the
years I've lived meant something. And all
you said was six simple words. "Come back
soon, I'll be waiting."
He counts the last six words on the six
fingers of his
left hand.
ACKMENA
Well, after all, only words I probably...
He grabs her hand in his own.
KRELMAN
(interrupting)
...more than words. I knew that at the
time. That's why I went home and thought
and thought about what you said.
ACKMENA
Oh? What did I say?
KRELMAN
It uh, it doesn't matter, silly. What you
said is not as important as what you meant.
ACKMENA
Oh? What did I mean?
KRELMAN
I decided what you meant was exactly the
thing I needed to hear.
ACKMENA
Well, I'm glad about that.
Ackmena walks further down the bar. Krelman
gets up and
follows her. He even goes behind the bar after her. She
is trying to clean behind the bar with a rag.
KRELMAN
You know its funny. A man can live as
long as I have. Through all the ups and
downs and just when he thinks its all
over, someone cares for him again. I
wasn't looking for that when I came in
here. Maybe that's why it, it happened.
Because I wasn't asking for love anymore.
I wasn't desperate. I wasn't begging,
whining, ruffling, sniveling. I just came
in here for a drink and I find a lot more.
He hugs Ackmena from behind. She is at a loss for words.
ACKMENA
Uh, uh, Kerlman...
KRELMAN
Krelman.
She disengages herself from his embrace.
ACKMENA
Uh, lis... listen uh, Krelman. You're,
you're kind and, and sweet and, and
terribly attractive but, if, if you're
saying what I think you're saying you
felt you meant I thought you needed to
hear then, I just have one thing to say.
I did not.
KRELMAN
Ackmena, don't do this to me...
ACKMENA
(interrupting)
Now, please look! I have customers.
She motions for him to go back to the
other side of the
counter and he complies.
ACKMENA
Why don't you sit down. Finish your drink.
Have another drink. This one's on me.
Krelman is back in his seat. Ackmena pours
a directly from
the pitcher into the top of his head.
ACKMENA
Now, you stay just as long as you want.
But, I have business to attend to. I
really have no time for anything else.
She puts the pitcher down and walks away.
KRELMAN
You'll change your mind. I just know you
will. Six simple words. I could wait
forever to hear it again because I know...
A customer at the bar gets up and leaves.
Ackmena waves
farewell.
ACKMENA
(to customer)
Come back soon, I'll be waiting.
Krelman gets upset and puts his hood over
his head. He
then puts his head down on the table. The wall screen
beeps and an Imperial officer appears on it. The music
and conversation stops as all attention is turned to the
wall screen.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(on monitor)
Due to increased activity among subversive
forces, we are placing a curfew on the
entire Tatooine system effective
immediately. All inhabitants will return
to their homes at once. This order will
remain in effect until further notice.
All conversation resumes in the bar. Ackmena
walks over
to the bandstand.
ACKMENA
(to band member)
Okay, Bobbarine. Take a break.
He says something back to her.
ACKMENA
I don't know how long. Maybe forever.
The band has a fit at her answer.
ACKMENA
Oh, don't leave me now. Please, please, I
have enough aggravation. Alright, one
more round before you leave. And this
one's on the me.
(to Tork)
Tork, see what the boys on the bandstand
will have.
Tork heads over to follow her order. Ackmena
goes back
behind the bar. She goes up to two aliens seated at the
bar. They are speaking to each other in an alien dialect.
ACKMENA
(to aliens)
Gentlemen, gentlemen, I don't know how to
tell you this but I guess the wall screen
said it all. We're closed.
The aliens just ignore her. She raises
her voice to speak
to everyone.
ACKMENA
(yelling)
Gentlemen, I guess you didn't hear what I
said. The Empire has closed us down. Now,
I know this sort of thing happens all the
time. I... I'm sure it's just temporary,
fellas. The party is over.
Some of the patrons throw things at her.
She gets angry.
Tork comes to her aid.
ACKMENA
(to patrons)
How dare you. You stop that.
(to Tork)
Stop Tork, it's alright. I'll reason with them.
She goes over to two more aliens seated at the bar.
ACKMENA
(to two aliens)
Kelnor, Zutnor, come on you guys. Haven't
I always lent you money?
The continue their conversation as if
she wasn't there.
She walks over to a table where Ludlow, a Rodian is
seated.
ACKMENA
(to Ludlow)
Ludlow, Ludlow, you of all creatures.
Please do me a favor and leave.
Ludlow looks down at the table and ignores her.
ACKMENA
Ludlow, you're heartless.
She goes to another table.
ACKMENA
(to Thorp)
Thorp, Thorp, after all I've down for you.
Short memory, eh, Thorp?
He just looks away from her.
ACKMENA
(yelling)
Short memory!
She goes to yet another table.
ACKMENA
(to creature, normally)
Helpmus, do you remember the time that...
She realizes that the creature she is
talking to is not
Helpmus.
ACKMENA
I don't believe we've met.
Two aliens enter the bar. Ackmena walks over to them.
ACKMENA
(to aliens)
We're closed! I said, we're closed. Look,
I'm sorry we are closed. The Empire just
imposed a curfew on this planet. Everybody
has to leave right now. Now...
One of the aliens pulls a blaster on her.
Tork comes to
her aid. She stops him.
ACKMENA
(to Tork)
Tork, I don't want anymore trouble. You,
take care of the door.
The two aliens go into the bar and take
a seat. The crowd
begins to pound their empty glasses on the tables.
ACKMENA
Alright, alright, alright, alright. I can
take a hint. We'll have one more round.
This one's on the house.
They crows stop banging the tables and
cheer her. She
heads back behind the bar. The band starts to play again.
ACKMENA
(under her breath)
I'll run a tab for the Empire.
Ackmena pours a drink and begins to sing.
Drinks are
poured for everyone.
ACKMENA
(singing)
Just one more round, friend. Then homeward
bound, friend. Don't forget me in your
dreams. Just one more song, friend. The
night's get shorter it seems. Just one
more rhyme, friend. Yes, it's a crime,
friend. But you know time, friend. Time
can fly.
Some of the creatures get up and leave.
Ackmena waves to
them.
ACKMENA
(still singing)
So it's goodnight, friend. Goodnight, but
not goodbye. Just one more drop, friend.
Before we stop, friend. One more moment
face to face. Next time you're dry, friend.
Try stopping by, friend. If there's a
light in the place. We may not cry, friend.
But we survive, friend. Look, we're alive,
friend. You and I.
Some more creatures leave the cantina.
ACKMENA
(still singing)
So say goodnight, friend. Goodnight, but
not goodbye.
An alien comes up to her and pulls her
to the dance floor.
She begins to dance with him.
ACKMENA
(still singing)
Just one more dance, friend. Just one more
chance, friend. One more chorus, one more
tune. It's not the end, friend. If you're
a friend, friend. Then you come back to me
soon. But it's too late, pal. To celebrate,
pal. You have to wait, pal. Don't you cry.
Now, it's goodnight, friend. Goodnight
friend. Goodnight friend. Follow me!
Ackmena starts a line of creatures following
her,
swinging their glasses in the air. She leads them to the
door and they begin to file out. Tork takes the glasses
from their outstretched hands as they leave.
ACKMENA
(still singing)
You're such a dear, friend. You know I'm
here, friend. Is that a tear, friend. In
your eye? Now, it's goodnight, friend.
Goodnight friend.
The last few people have just left. Ackmena
closes the
door.
ACKMENA
(still singing)
Goodnight but not...
She walks back into the bar. Krelman is
standing behind
the counter holding his flower. He hands the flower to
her. The wall screen goes off. The Imperial officer's
comlink beeps. He takes it off of his belt and pulls out
the antenna.
VOICE
(over comlink)
Return to base. Return to base. Return to
base. Return to base...
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(into comlink)
Message received and obeyed.
He closes the antenna and puts the comlink
back on his
belt. He turns to his men.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to men)
We leave at once.
The stormtroopers turn to go. The officer
stops one of
them.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(to stormtrooper)
You, stay here. There's a male missing
from this household and I want you to be
here when he returns. It's possible, he's
one of the Rebels we're looking for.
The officer, guard, and stormtrooper all
leave the house.
From upstairs is heard a voice.
VOICE
(from upstairs)
Return to base. Return to base. Return to
base. Return to base...
The stormtrooper goes up the staircase to investigate.
70. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - LUMPY'S ROOM
The stormtrooper walks up behind Lumpy
who is on the
floor using his mini-transmitter.
VOICE
(from machine)
Return to base. Return to base. Return to
base. Return to base...
Lumpy turns around and sees the stormtrooper.
He picks up
the machine and backs up against the wall. The
stormtrooper approaches a terrified Lumpy. He roughly
grabs the machine from Lumpy's hands and throws it to the
floor. It breaks into pieces. Lumpy runs past him and
goes downstairs. The stormtrooper follows.
71. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Lumpy runs down the stairs and out the
door closely
followed by the stormtrooper.
72. EXT. WOOKIEE HOME - PORCH - DAY
Lumpy runs out the door. The stormtrooper
stops in the
doorway with his blaster aimed at Lumpy. Chewie is
standing to one side of the stormtrooper. He starts to
take his bowcaster form his shoulder but stops because of
his son's danger. The stormtrooper motions with his
blaster for him to go over by Lumpy. Han sneaks up behind
the stormtrooper and knocks the blaster out of his hand.
Han makes a move to grab the fallen blaster and so does
the stormtrooper. The stormtrooper trips over some wood
on the porch and trips. He breaks thru the railing and
falls to his death. Han barely catches his balance and
saves himself from the same fate.
HAN
(to Lumpy)
Lumpy, are there any more inside? Come
here sweetheart.
Han picks up Lumpy in his arms.
HAN
It's okay. It's alright now. Everything's
okay now. Here's your daddy.
Han hands Lumpy over to Chewie's waiting arms
HAN
(to Chewie)
Boy, has he grown.
73. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Han enters the home.
HAN
It's okay everybody. He's gone.
Chewie and Lumpy come in the door. Chewie
leaves his
bowcaster on the floor by the door. Han goes up to Malla
and hugs her.
HAN
(to Malla)
How are ya? Malla! Ha,ha!
(to Itchy)
Itchy, you look wonderful. Doing well,
huh? Your son's been doin' you proud.
He's saved my tail more'n a couple of
times.
Malla growls something to Han.
HAN
(to Malla)
Look Malla, I'd love to but, I can't. I
gotta get back to the Falcon before
somebody stumbles across her.
Lumpy runs up to Han and hugs his leg.
HAN
Hey, will you look at Lumpy? He's sure
grown, huh?
Han kneels down in front of Lumpy.
HAN
An' I think his voice is changin'.
Lumpy lowers his head in embarrassment.
HAN
(to Lumpy)
Come on, I'm just teasin' ya. Well, look.
Han stands up and faces Malla.
HAN
(to Malla)
I gotta go. Have a nice Life Day. But be
careful, a lotta troopers in the area.
(to Chewie)
Chewie, check and see if the coast is
clear, will ya?
(to everyone)
You're like a family to me.
Chewie looks out the door and growls back at Han.
HAN
I know, bye.
Han turns and walks toward the door.
HAN
(to Chewie)
Okay pal?
Chewie growls. Han turns back to the wookiee
family and
waves.
HAN
Bye everybody.
Han and chewie turn and walk through the door.
74. EXT. WOOKIEE HOME - PORCH - DAY
Han and Chewie embrace.
HAN
Well pal, be careful.
Hans sees the stormtrooper's blaster on
the ground. He
picks it up and tosses it off of the porch.
HAN
They'll be lookin' for him. Take care.
Han leaves. Chewie goes back inside his home.
75. INT. WOOKIEE HOME - MAIN LIVING AREA
Chewie closes the door and picks up his
bowcaster. He and
Malla exchange howls. He places his bowcaster on the wood
pile next to their fireplace and hugs his father. He then
hugs Malla. They are interrupted by a knock at the door.
Chewie grabs his bowcaster and opens the door. Saundan
enters the home to a bowcaster aimed at him.
SAUNDAN
(to Chewie)
You sure know how to make a guy feel
welcome.
Chewie lowers his weapon and shakes Saundan's hand.
SAUNDAN
Glad you're home, Chewbacca.
Lumpy runs up to the closed door and tries to look outside.
SAUNDAN
(to Lumpy)
If you're looking for who I'm thinking
you're looking for, forget him. We won't
be bothered by him again.
The wall screen goes on and an Imperial
officer appears.
Saundan and the wookiees watch in silence.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(on monitor)
This is a general alert. Calling officer
B-4711, officer B-4711. We are unable to
reach you on your comlink. Is there a
problem? You are instructed to turn on
your comlink immediately.
The wookiees are disturbed by the announcement.
SAUNDAN
Wait, wait a minute. I think I can handle
this.
Saundan pulls out his identification card
and inserts it
into the wall screen's controls. He pushes some buttons
and the screen comes to life. The Imperial officer is
again on the screen.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
We have two-way communication, trader
Saundan. Is this a report about the
missing trooper?
SAUNDAN
(to officer)
It is, sir. Trooper B-4711 was here with
three other men. They left and he
remained. As soon as they had gone, he
packed a lot of food from this house and
robbed me blind. Then, he took off for
the hills.
IMPERIAL OFFICER
(taking a deep breath)
Very well. We'll send out a search party.
SAUNDAN
Thank you.
The call ends. Saundan pushes some buttons
and removes his
card. He puts it back into his leather case.
SAUNDAN
Yes, sir. Identification is very important.
Helps you maintain contact with the Empire
at times like this.
The wookiees growl at him. Chewbacca shakes his hand.
SAUNDAN
Lumpy. Itchy. Chewie. Malla. This day is
for you. Have a wonderful celebration.
Lumpy goes to Saundan and hugs his leg.
SAUNDAN
And may the force be with you.
Saundan turns and leaves the wookiee home.
The wookiees
all go to a shelf and get glass globes that have
something gold in them. The lights dim in the room as the
wookiees gather together. They are lit by an increasingly
bright shimmering light. They raise the globes into the
air.
76. EXT. SPACE
The wookiee family are standing in front
of a starfield.
They are in red robes and are still holding their glass
globes. The scene cuts to a procession of wookiees
heading into a bright light in the stars.
77. INT. WOOKIEE CEREMONY HALL
Dozens of wookiees in red robes are gathered
together.
They each have one of the glass globes. Artoo and
Threepio are on a raised platform at the end of the
hall. The two go over to Chewbacca who is also on the
platform.
THREEPIO
(to Chewie)
Happy Life Day.
(to assembly)
Happy Life Day, everyone. And, we're
certainly glad that we were allowed to
celebrate it.
Artoo whistles.
THREEPIO
Yes, Artoo.
Artoo whistle to Threepio.
THREEPIO
It is indeed true, that at times like
this, Artoo and I wish that we were more
than just mechanical beings...
Artoo whistles again.
THREEPIO
... and were really alive, so that we
could share your feelings with you.
Luke, Han, and Leia all come out onto
the platform. Leia
runs to Chewie and hugs him.
LUKE
Chewbacca!
Chewie growls and shakes Luke's hand.
LUKE
Chewbacca, we were so relieved to hear
you were alright.
Chewie growls.
HAN
(to Chewie)
All of you are an important part of my
life, pal. I'm glad I could be here.
LEIA
(to assembly)
This holiday is yours but, we all share
with you the hope that this day brings us
closer to freedom, and to harmony, and to
peace. No matter how different we appear,
we're all the same in our struggle against
the powers of evil and darkness. I hope
that this day will always be a day of joy
in which we can reconfirm our dedication
and our courage. And more than anything
else, our love for one another. This is
the promise of the Tree of Life.
A slow version of the theme to "Star Wars" begins to play.
LEIA
(singing)
We celebrate a day of peace. A day of
harmony. A day of joy we can all share
together joyously. A day that takes us
through the darkness. A day that leads us
into might. A day that makes us want to
celebrate the light. A day that brings the
promise that one day, we'll be free to
live, to laugh, to dream, to grow, to
trust, to love, to be.
When the song ends, all the wookiees in
the hall walk
onto the platform past our heroes. A close-up of Chewie
is shown. He has a flashback of scenes from events in
the movie.
