Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Page #3

---

A familiar clanking sound attacks Threepio's attention and

he spots little Artoo at the end of the hallway in a smoke-

filled alcove. A beautiful young girl (about sixteen years

old) stands in front of Artoo. Surreal and out of place,

dreamlike and half hidden in the smoke, she finishes adjusting

something on Artoo's computer face, then watches as the little

robot joins his companion.

THREEPIO:

At last! Where have you been?

Stormtroopers can be heard battling in the distance.

THREEPIO:

They're heading in this direction.

What are we going to do? We'll be

sent to the spice mine of Kessel or

smashed into who knows what!

Artoo scoots past his bronze friend and races down the

subhallway. Threepio chases after him.

THREEPIO:

Wait a minute, where are you going?

Artoo responds with electronic beeps.

INT. REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - CORRIDOR

The evil Darth Vader stands amid the broken and twisted bodies

of his foes. He grabs a wounded Rebel Officer by the neck as

an Imperial Officer rushes up to the Dark Lord.

IMPERIAL OFFICER

The Death Star plans are not in the

main computer.

Vader squeezes the neck of the Rebel Officer, who struggles

in vain.

VADER:

Where are those transmissions you

intercepted?

Vader lifts the Rebel off his feet by his throat.

VADER:

What have you done with those plans?

REBEL OFFICER:

We intercepted no transmissions.

Aaah... This is a consular ship.

Were on a diplomatic mission.

VADER:

If this is a consular ship... were

is the Ambassador?

The Rebel refuses to speak but eventually cries out as the

Dark Lord begins to squeeze the officer's throat, creating a

gruesome snapping and choking, until the soldier goes limp.

Vader tosses the dead soldier against the wall and turns to

his troops.
