Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Page #5

THREEPIO:

I'm going to regret this.

INT. IMPERIAL STARDESTROYER

On the main viewscreen, the lifepod carrying the two terrified

robots speeds away from the stricken Rebel spacecraft.

CHIEF PILOT:

There goes another one.

CAPTAIN:

Hold your fire. There are no life

forms. It must have been short-

circuited.

INT. LIFEPOD

Artoo and Threepio look out at the receding Imperial starship.

Stars circle as the pod rotates through the galaxy.

THREEPIO:

That's funny, the damage doesn't

look as bad from out here.

Artoo beeps an assuring response.

THREEPIO:

Are you sure this things safe?

EXT. TATOOINE - ANCHORHEAD SETTLEMENT - POWER STATION - DAY

Heat waves radiate from the dozen or so bleached white

buildings. Luke pilots his Landspeeder through the dusty

empty street of the tiny settlement. An old woman runs to

get out of the way of the speeding vehicle, shaking her fist

at Luke as he flies past.

WOMAN:

I've told you kids to slow down!

INT. POWER STATION - DAY

Luke bursts into the power station, waking The Fixer, a rugged

mechanic and Camie, a sexy, disheveled girl who has been

asleep in his lap. They grumbled as he races through the

office, yelling wildly.

FIXER:

Did I hear a young noise blast through

here?

CAMIE:

It was just wormie on another rampage.

Luke bounces into a small room behind the office where Deak

and Windy, two tough boys about the same age as Luke, are

playing a computer pool-like game with Biggs, a burly,

handsome boy a few years older than the rest. His flashy

city attire is a sharp contrast to the loose-fitting tunics

of the farm boys. A robot repairs some equipment in the

background.
