Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Page #3
Han abruptly puts his hand over Threepio's mouth as the deck officer
approaches.
DECK OFFICER:
Yes, sir?
HAN:
Do you know where Commander
Skywalker is?
DECK OFFICER:
I haven't seen him. It's possible
he came in through the south entrance.
HAN:
It's possible? Why don't you go
find out? It's getting dark out there.
DECK OFFICER:
Yes, sir.
The deck officer leaves hurriedly, as Han takes his hand off Threepio's
mouth.
THREEPIO:
Excuse me, sir. Might I inquire
what's going on?
HAN:
Why not?
THREEPIO:
Impossible man. Come along, Artoo,
let's find Princess Leia. Between
ourselves, I think Master Luke is
in considerable danger.
INT. HOTH - REBEL BASE - MAIN ICE TUNNEL
The deck officer and his assistant hurry toward Han as he enters the
tunnel.
DECK OFFICER:
Sir, Commander Skywalker hasn't
come in through the south entrance.
He might have forgotten to check in.
HAN:
Not likely. Are the speeders ready?
DECK OFFICER:
Not yet. We're having some trouble
adapting them to the cold.
HAN:
Then we'll have to go out on
Tauntauns.
DECK OFFICER:
Sir, the temperature's dropping too
rapidly.
HAN:
That's right. And my friends out
in it.
ASSISTANT OFFICER
I'll cover sector twelve. Have
com-control set screen alpha.
Han pushes through the troops and mounts a Tauntaun.
DECK OFFICER:
Your Tauntaun'll freeze before you
reach the first marker.
HAN:
Then I'll see you in hell!
Han maneuvers his mount out of the cave and races into the dark bitter
night.
The jagged face of a huge ice wall sits gloomily in the dim twilight of
a Hoth day. Luke hangs upside down, ankles frozen into icy
stalactites, his extended arms within a foot of the snow floor. One
side of his face is covered in a dried mask of frozen blood. He opens
his eyes as a chilling moan of the hideous ice creature echoes off the
gorge walls. Luke pulls himself up, grabs hold of his ankles, and
futilely tries to unfasten the throngs.
Exhausted, he drops back into his hanging position. As he hangs there,
he spies his lightsaber lying near a pile of his discarded gear, about
three feet out of reach.
He focuses on the saber and, as his hand strains toward the weapon, he
squeezes his eyes tight in concentration.
Just as the ice creature looms over Luke, the lightsaber jumps into
Luke's hand.
The young warrior instantly ignites his sword, swinging up, and cuts
himself loose from the ice. He flops to the snow in a heap. The
startled creature moves back, his giant yellow eyes blinking. Luke
scrambles to his feet. He swings his lightsaber and the beast screams
in pain.
EXT. HOTH - ENTRANCE TO ICE GORGE - DUSK
Luke staggers out of the gorge into the dark and snowy twilight. Weak
and exhausted, he stumbles down a snow bank.
