Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Page #10
OZZEL:
Lord Vader, the fleet has moved
out of light-speed, and we're
preparing to... Aaagh!
VADER:
You have failed me for the last
time, Admiral. Captain Piett.
Piett steps forward, as the admiral moves away, slightly confused,
touching his throat as it begins to constrict painfully.
PIETT:
Yes, my lord.
VADER:
Make ready to land out troops beyond
the energy shield and deploy the
fleet so that nothing gets off that
system. You are in command now,
Admiral Piett.
PIETT:
Thank you, Lord Vader.
Piett's pleasure about his unexpected promotion is not an unmixed
emotion. He glances warily at the struggling Admiral Ozzel who, with a
final choke, stumbles and falls in a lifeless heap before him.
INT. REBEL BASE - MAIN HANGAR DECK
With a sense of urgency, Leia quickly briefs a group of pilots gathered
in the center of the hangar.
LEIA:
All troop carriers will assemble
at the north entrance. The heavy
soon as they're loaded. Only two
fighter escorts per ship. The
energy shield can only be opened
for a short time, so you'll have
to stay very close to your transports.
HOBBIE:
Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?
LEIA:
The ion cannon will fire several
shots to make sure that any enemy
ships will be out of your flight
path. When you've gotten past the
energy shield, proceed directly to
the rendezvous point. Understood?
PILOTS:
(in unison)
Right. Okay.
LEIA:
Good luck.
DERLIN:
Okay. Everyone to your stations.
Let's go!
EXT. HOTH - ICE PLAIN - SNOW TRENCH - DAY
Rebel troops carry heavy bazooka-type weapons and position them along
the snow trench. Men hurriedly respond to their officers' yelled
orders and brace themselves against the rhythmic gusts of bitter-cold
wind.
Other troops load power packs into a gun turret and swing its guns into
position.
EXT. HOTH - ICE PLAIN - POWER GENERATORS
Near the base power generators, troops rush to set up their heavy
battle equipment. Buzzing loudly, the generators send along, sparking
fingers of energy into the bitter Hoth wind.
INT. REBEL BASE - COMMAND CENTER
The long line of Rebel controllers is tense, as are Princess Leia and
General Rieekan, who are trying very hard not to show any fear.
RIEEKAN:
Their primary target will be the
power generators. Prepare to
open the shield.
EXT. ICE PLAIN
The Rebel transport and two escort fighters begin their departure from
the ice planet.
EXT. SPACE - IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER
A huge Imperial Star Destroyer rest against a sea of stars, far above
