A Newer Hope: Line-by-line!

[Darth Vegas]

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away....

STAR WARS: Episode IV - A New Hope

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a
hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic
Empire.

During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the
Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station
with enough power to destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home
aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her
people and restore freedom to the galaxy...


The awesome yellow planet of Tatooine emerges from a total
eclipse, her two moons glowing against the darkness. A tiny
spacecraft, a Rebel Blockade Runner firing lasers from
the back of the ship, races through space. It is pursed by a
giant Imperial Stardestroyer. Hundreds of deadly laserbolts
streak from the Imperial Stardestroyer, as an explosion sparks on the hull of the blockade runner...

C-3PO: "Did you hear that? They shut down the main reactor, we'll be deystroyed for sure. This is madness. Were doomed, there will be no escape for the princess this time. What was that"?

[mtilden]

3PO: "I should have known better than to trust the logic of a half-sized thermocapsulary dehousing assister..."

[Darth Vegas]

Uh that's not in the movie... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

[mtilden]

Isn't it? Oh well.... then "Artoo Detoo where are you!"

[Obi-Stu]

"At last! Where have you been?"

[Mothman]

This thread sure is going nowhere fast. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[Master Patton]

"There heading in this direction. We'll be sent to the spice mines of Kessel, smashed into who knows what!"

[Count Dookie]

Not to be a bummer but what is the point in quoting the movies word for word a hundred billion times?

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

[mtilden]

What is the point in hanging around on a message board?

Cuase were the geeks of star wars! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif ... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/inlove.gif and what a wonderful thing it is...

[Obi-Stu]

Not to be a bummer but what is the point in quoting the movies word for word a hundred billion times?

It's a legit way to keep your post average ticking over... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Now where were we....oh yes...

"Wait a minute, where are you going?"

[Master Patton]

"The death star plans are not in the main computer!"

[mtilden]

Vader "Where are those transmission you intercepted? What have you done with those plans?"

[Obi-Stu]

"We intercepted no transmissions. Aaah....This is a consular ship. Were on a diplomatic mission."

[Master Patton]

"If this is a consular ship, than where is the ambassador!"

[mtilden]

Vader: "Commander: tear this ship apart until youv'e found those plans, and bring me the passengers, I want them alive!"

It's fun for us and if you don't want to do it, no one's making you hang around here...

Anyway:

"R2 where are you??" -- Threepio

[Jango]

at last where have you been there headed this way what are we going to do well be sent to the spice mines essel

[Darth Vegas]

*eh hem*

....smashed into who knows what."

"I'm going to regret this."

[Obi-Stu]

"There goes another one."

[mtilden]

"Hold your fire, there's no lifeforms, it must have malfunctioned"

[Master Patton]

umm...we should be past this.

"Wait. your not allowed in there, it's restricted."

*R2 beep's*

"Don't call me a mindless Philosopher, you over wheight blob of grease. Now come out of there before someone see's you!"

*R2 beep's again.*

"What mission, what plans, i'm not getting in there!"

*Some blast near C-3PO*

"I'm going to regret this."

than comes the rest of the lines...

Now my line!

"That's funny, the damage doesn't that bad from out here!"

[Obi-Stu]

"Lord Vader, I should have known. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit for this, when they hear you've attacked a diplomatic..."

[Darth Vegas]

Master Patton chill out on the lines bub, we weren't that off course.

"Don't act so surprised your highness you weren't on any mercy mission this time, several tranmissions were beemed to this ship, I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you."

[Obi-Stu]

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan..."

[Master Patton]

"You are appart of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor, take her away!"

[Obi-Stu]

"Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the Rebellion in the senate."

[mtilden]

Vader: "I have traced the rebel spies to her, now she's my only link to find their hidden base"

[Darth Vegas]

"She'll die before she'll tell you anything."

[mtilden]

Vader "Leave that to me! Send a distress signal, and inform the senate that all aboard were killed."

[Obi-Stu]

"Lord Vader, the battle station plans are not aboard this ship! And no transmissions were made. An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting, but no life forms were aboard."

[Master Patton]

"She must have put the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down personaly commander, there will be no on to stop us this time!"

[Obi-Stu]

Yes, sir.

[Darth Vegas]

"How did we get into this mess? I really don't know, we seem to be made to suffer it's our lot in life."

[Jaina Solo Durron]

R2: *tweedle tweedle*

-JSD

[Obi-Stu]

I've got to rest before I fall apart. My joints are almost frozen.

[bluemilk]

THREEPIO: What a desolate place this is.

[Obi-Stu]

"Where are you going?"

[Master Patton]

"What makes you think there are settlements over there?"

[Obi-Stu]

"Don't get technical with me..."

[Gazelle]

What mission, what are you talking about?

[Obi-Stu]

"And don't let me catch you following me begging for help,
because you won't get it."

[Momin327]

C-3PO starts to walk off in the opposite direction, but then R2 beeps at 3PO, making him turn around to face his companion:

C-3PO: No more adventures! I'm not going that way!

And he turns around again and continues walking.

^ You missed an important line that set up this previous line:

C-3PO: I've just about had enough of you... Go that way! You'll be malfunctioning within a day, you nearsighted scrap-pile! He kicks R2.

[Obi-Stu]

"That malfunctioning little twerp. This is all his fault! He tricked me into going this way, but he'll do no better."

[Momin327]

"Wait! What's that? A transport! I'm saved!"

[Obi-Stu]

"Over here! Help! Please, help!"

[Momin327]

Utinni!

[Obi-Stu]

"Artoo-Detoo! It's you! It's you!"

[Momin327]

"Someone was in the pod. The tracks go off in this direction."

[Master Patton]

"Look sir, driods!"

[Momin327]

"Wake up! Wake up!!!"

[Obi-Stu]

We're doomed.

[Master Patton]

"Do you think they'll melt us down?"

[Momin327]

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Will this never end?"

[Master Patton]

"Luke, ...Luke!"

[Momin327]

"Tell Owen if he gets a translator, be sure it speaks Bocce!"

[Master Patton]

"Doesn't look like we have much of a choice, but i'll remind him."

[Momin327]

(The head Jawa shows Owen his droids in stock)

Owen: (about R2-D2) No, not that one... (Jawa shows C-3PO to Owen) you, I suppose you're programmed for etiquette in protocol?

[Obi-Stu]

I have no need for a protocol droid.

[Master Patton]

I think we skiped C-3PO's line...

[Momin327]

I think we skiped C-3PO's line...
Yes we did:

C-3PO: Protocol? Why, that's my primary function, sir! I'm well-versed in all accustoms.

Now back to the lines:

"I have no need for a protocol droid."

[Master Patton]

"Of course you don't sir, not in a envoiment such as this!"

[Momin327]

"There is also "That is why I've been programmed to...". Now, back to the lines™:

"What I really need is a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators."

[YodaFett82]

"Vaporators? Sir, my first job was programming binary load lifters, very similar to your vaporators in most respects."

[Momin327]

"Can you speak Bocce?"

[YodaFett82]

"Of course I can, sir. It's like a second language to me. I'm as fluent in..."

[Momin327]

"All right, shut up! I'll take this one."

[YodaFett82]

"Shutting up, sir."

[Momin327]

"Luke! Take these two over to the garage, will you? I want them cleaned up before dinner!"

[YodaFett82]

"But I was going into Tosche station to pick up some power converters."

[Momin327]

"You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done. Now come on, get to it!"

[YodaFett82]

"All right, come on! And the red one, come on. Well, come on, Red, let's go."

[Momin327]

"All right, come on. And the red one. Come on. Well, come on, Red! Let's go!"

[Obi-Stu]

Uncle Owen...

[Momin327]

"Yeah?"

[Master Patton]

"This unit has a bad motivater"

[Momin327]

"Hey, what are you trying to push on us?"

[Obi-Stu]

"Excuse me, sir, but that R2 unit is in prime condition. A real bargain."

[Momin327]

"Uncle Owen! What about that one?"

[YodaFett82]

"What about that blue one? We'll take that one."

[Momin327]

"Yeah, take this one away."

[Master Patton]

"You'll really be pleased with that one, he's in really good condition, If worked with him before, here he comes."

[Momin327]

"Okay, let's go."

[Obi-Stu]

"Now, don't you forget this! Why I should stick my
neck out for you is quite beyond my capacity!
"

[Momin327]

"Thank the maker! This oil bath is going to be so good! I've had such a bad case of dust contamination, I can barely move!"

[Master Patton]

"oh..biggs is right, I'm never going to get out of here!"

[Momin327]

"Is there anything I might do to help?"

[YodaFett82]

"Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock."

[Momin327]

"I don't think so. I'm only a droid, and not very knowledgeable about such things. Not on this planet anyways. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure which planet I'm on..."

[YodaFett82]

"If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that is farthest from."

[Momin327]

"I see."

[Obi-Stu]

You left off the "sir"



"Uh, you can call me Luke."

[Momin327]

"I see, Sir Luke!"

[Obi-Stu]

"Just Luke"

[Momin327]

"Oh. Well, I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations. And this is my counterpart, R2-D2."

[Obi-Stu]

Hello

[Momin327]

"You got a lot of carbon scoring here, looks like you boys have seen a lot of action!"

[Obi-Stu]

"With all we've been through, sometimes I'm amazed we're in as good condition as we are, what with the Rebellion and all."

[Momin327]

"You know of the Rebellion against the Empire?!"

[Obi-Stu]

"That's how we came to be in your service, if you take my meaning, sir."

[Momin327]

"Have you been in many battles?"

[Obi-Stu]

"Several, I think. Actually, there's not much to tell. I'm not much more than an interpreter, and not very good at telling stories."

[Momin327]

"Well, not at making them interesting anyway."

[Obi-Stu]

"Well, my little friend, you've got something jammed in here real
good. Were you on a cruiser or..."

[Momin327]

Leia: (in hologram) Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope!

[Obi-Stu]

What's this?

[Momin327]

"What is what?! He asked you a question. What is that?"

[Obi-Stu]

"Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."

[The Prism]

Who is she? She's beautiful.

[Momin327]

We skipped C-3PO's line:

"Oh, he says it's nothing, sir. Irrelevant data. Pay it no mind."

Now, back to the lines™:

"I'm afraid I'm not quite sure, sir. I think she was a passenger on our last voyage. A person of some importance, I belive. Our captain was-"

[Obi-Stu]

"Is there more to this recording?"

[masterplan]

"Behave yourself, Artoo. You're going to get us in trouble.
It's all right, you can trust him. He's our new master."

[Obi-Stu]

"He says he's the property of Obi-Wan Kenobi, a resident of these parts. And it's a private message for him. Quite frankly, sir I don't know what he's talking about. Our last master was Captain Antilles, but with what we've been through, this little R2 unit has become a bit eccentric."

[Momin327]

"Obi-Wan Kenobi. I wonder if he means old Ben Kenobi..."

[YodaFett82]

"I beg your pardon, sir, but do you know what he's talking about?"

[Momin327]

"Well, I don't know anyone called Obi-Wan. But old Ben lives far out beyond the Dune Sea. He's kind of a strange old hermit."

[YodaFett82]

"I wonder who she is. It sounds like she's in trouble. I'd better play back the whole thing."

[Momin327]

"He says the restraining bolt has short-circuited his recording system. But he suggests that if you remove the bolt, he might be able to play back the entire recording."

[Obi-Stu]

H'm? Oh, yeah, well, I guess you're too small to run away on me
if I take this off! Okay.

[Chazzy]

"Hope it Helps"

[Momin327]

"Hope it Helps"
When does he say that?

[masterplan]

"There you go."

[Momin327]

"Wait a minute, where did she go? Bring her back! Play beack the entire message!"

[masterplan]

What message? The one you've just been playing.
The one you're carrying inside your rusty innards!

[Momin327]

Beru: (offscreen) Luke? Luke?

[Obi-Stu]

All right, I'll be right there, Aunt Beru.

[Momin327]

"I'm sorry, sir. But he appears to have picked up a slight flutter."

[Obi-Stu]

"Well, see what you can do with him. I'll be right back."

[Momin327]

"Just you consider replaying that message for him! No, I don't think he likes you at all. No, I don't like you either."

[masterplan]

"You know, I think that R2 unit we bought might have been stolen."

[Momin327]

"What makes you say that?"

[YodaFett82]

"Well, I stumbled across a recording while I was cleaning him. He says he belongs to someone called Obi-Wan Kenobi."

[Momin327]

"He might have meant old Ben. Do you know what he's talking about?"

[Obi-Stu]

"That old man's just a crazy old wizard. Tomorrow I want you to
take that R2 unit into Anchorhead and have its memory flushed. That'll
be the end of it. It belongs to us now."

[YodaFett82]

"But what if this Obi-Wan comes looking for him?"

[Momin327]

"He won't. I don't think he exists anymore. He died around the same time as your father."

[YodaFett82]

"He knew my father?"

[Momin327]

"I told you to forget it. Your only concern is to prepare those new droids for tomorrow. In the morning, I want them up there on the south ridge working on the condensers."

[YodaFett82]

"Yes, sir. I think those new droids will work out fine. In fact, I uh…I’m also thinking about our agreement. About me staying on another season? And if these new droids do work out, I want to transmit my application to the Academy this year."

[Momin327]

"You mean the next semester before the harvest?"

[YodaFett82]

"Sure, there's more than enough droids."

[Momin327]

"Harvest is when I need you most, Luke! It's only one season more. This year, we'll make enough from the harvest that I can hire some hands, and you can go to the academy next year. You must understand I need you here, Luke."

[YodaFett82]

"But it's a whole 'nother year."

[Obi-Stu]

"Look, it's only one more season."

[pudooku]

"Yeah, that's what you said last year when Biggs and Tank left"

[Momin327]

"Where are you going?"

[Obi-Stu]

"It looks like I'm going nowhere. I have to finish cleaning those
droids."

[pudooku]

"Owen, he can't stay here forever. Most of his friends have
gone. It means so much to him."

[Momin327]

"I'll make it up to him next year. I promise."

[YodaFett82]

"Luke’s just not a farmer, Owen. He has too much of his father in him."

[Momin327]

"That's what I'm afraid of..."

[pudooku]

What are you doing hiding there?

[Momin327]

"It wasn't my fault, sir! Please don't deactivate me, but I told him not to go! He's faulty, malfunctioning! Kept babbling on about his mission!"

[pudooku]

Oh No...

[Momin327]

"That R2 unit has always been a problem. These astro-droids are getting quite of hand. Even I can't understand their logic at times."

[pudooku]

How could I have been so stupid? He's nowhere in sight... Blast it.

[Obi-Stu]

Pardon me, sir, but couldn't we go after him?

[Momin327]

"It's too dangerous with all the Sand People. We'll have to wait till morning."

[Anguirus111]

Boy am I going to get it. That droid is going to cause me a lot of trouble.

[Momin327]

^ You missed Owen's line: "Luke! I'm shutting the power down!"

Now, back to the lines™:

"Oh, he excels at that, sir."

[pudooku]

Have you seen Luke this morning?

[Momin327]

Why does everyone skip Owen's lines? Here's the one we skipped: "Luke? Luke? Luke?"

Now, back to the lines™:

"He said he had some things to do at the start of the day, so he left early."

[Queen 'Onna]

"Did he take those new droids with him?"

[Momin327]

"I think so."

[YodaFett82]

"Well, he'd better have those units in the south range repaired by midday or there'll be hell to pay."

[Momin327]

"Look! There's a droid on the scanner, dead ahead! Might be our little R2 unit, hit the accelerator!"

[Obi-Stu]

Hey, whoa, just where do you think you're going?

[Momin327]

"Master Luke is our rightful owner now. We'll have no more of this Obi-Wan Kenobi jibberish! (R2 beeps something) And don't talk to me about your mission either. You're fortunate he doesn't blast you into a million pieces right here!"

[Obi-Stu]

Well, come on. It's getting late.

[Momin327]

(R2 begins beeping frantically) "What's wrong with him now?"

[Obi-Stu]

"Oh my...sir, he says there are several creatures approaching from the southeast."

[Momin327]

"Sand People, they're the worst! Come on, let's go have a look. Come on!"

[Obi-Stu]

"There are two Banthas down there but I don't see any...wait a second, they're Sandpeople all right. I can see one of them now."

[Momin327]

*Tusken Raider jumps out of nowhere, and beats the crap out of Luke, chanting loudly*

[jedijaybird]

Hello there, don't be afraid

[Momin327]

"Oh, don't worry. He'll be all right..."

[jedijaybird]

"looks like you've had a busy day"

[Momin327]

Actually, it's "Rest easy, son. You've had a busy day." Now, back to the lines™:

"You're fortunate to be all in one piece."

[Obi-Stu]

Ben? Ben Kenobi! Boy, am I glad to see you!

[YodaFett82]

"The Jundland wastes are not to be traveled lightly. Tell me, young Luke. What brings you out this far?"

[Obi-Stu]

Oh, this little droid!

[YodaFett82]

"I think he’s searching for his former master. But I’ve never seen such devotion in a droid before. He claims to be the property of an Obi-Wan Kenobi. Is he a relative of yours? Do you know who he's talking about?"

[Momin327]

"Obi-Wan Kenobi? Obi-Wan... Now that's a name I have not heard in a long time. A long time."

[Sam Kenobi]

"I think my uncle knows him. He said he was dead."

[Momin327]

"Oh, he's not dead. Not yet..."

[YodaFett82]

"You know him!"

[Momin327]

"Well, of course I know him. He's me! I haven't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since, oh, before you were born."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Well, then the droid does belong to you."

[Momin327]

"I don't seem to remember ever owning a droid. Very interesting... (Sand People shout in the distance) I think we better get indoors. The sand people are easily startled. They will soon be back, and in greater numbers."

[Sam Kenobi]

(R2 Whistles)

"Oh, 3P0!"

[Momin327]

"Where am I? I must have taken a bad step."

[YodaFett82]

"Can you stand? We've got to get out of here before the Sand People return."

[Sam Kenobi]

"No, I don't think I can make it. You go on Master Luke, there's no sense in you risking yourself on my account. I'm done for."

[Momin327]

"No, you're not. What kind of talk is that?"

[Sam Kenobi]

"Quickly, they're on the move!"

[Momin327]

(Later, at Obi-Wan's home)

"Oh, my father didn't fight in the clone wars, he was a navigator on a spice freighter."

[Sam Kenobi]

"That's what your uncle told you. He didn't agree with you're fathers ideas; thought you should have stayed here and not gotten involved."

[Momin327]

"You fought in the clone wars?"

[YodaFett82]

"Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father."

[The Prism]

"I wish I had known him."

[Sam Kenobi]

"That reminds me. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He thought you'd follow old Obi-Wan on some damn idealistic crusade like your father did."

[Momin327]

We skipped Obi-Wan's monologue:

"He was the best fighter pilot in the galaxy. And a cunning warrior. And I understand you're becoming quite a good pilot yourself. And he was a good friend..."

Also, you skipped "I have something here for you."

Now, back to the lines™:

"Sir, if you'll not be needing me, I'll close down for a while."

[Sam Kenobi]

Whoops. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif So it goes:

"I wish I had known him."

"He was the best fighter pilot in the galaxy. And a cunning warrior. And a good friend. And I understand you're becoming quite a good pilot yourself."

"Which reminds me. I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He thought you'd follow old Obi-Wan on some damn idealistic crusade like your father did."

"Sir, if you'll not be needing me, I'll close down for a while."

I think there's a few others I missed in between their. Sorry. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

"Sure, go ahead."

[Momin327]

"What is it?"

[Obi-Stu]

Your fathers lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster...

[Momin327]

"An elegant weapon. For a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire."

[Sam Kenobi]

Deactivates lightsaber.

"How did my father die?"

[YodaFett82]

"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force."

[Sam Kenobi]

"The Force?"

[The Prism]

"The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together. Now, let's see if we can't find out what you are, my little friend. And where you come from."

[Sam Kenobi]

"I stumbled across a message earlier . . ."

[YodaFett82]

"I seem to have found it."

[Momin327]

"General Kenobi, years ago, you served my father in the clone wars. Now, he begs you help him in this struggle against the Empire. I regret I'm not able to meet with you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this R2 unit delivered safely to him on Alderaan. This is our most desparate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Very interesting."

[Momin327]

Wrong line, wrong place...

"You must learn the ways of the Force if you are to come with me to Alderaan."

[YodaFett82]

"Alderaan? I'm not going to Alderaan. I've got to go home. It's late, I'm in for it as it is."

[The Prism]

I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.

[YodaFett82]

"I can't get involved! I've got work to do! It's not that I like the Empire. I hate it! But there's nothing I can do about it right now. It's such a long way from here."

[The Prism]

That's your uncle talking.

[Momin327]

"Oh, my uncle. How am I ever going to explain this?"

[Sam Kenobi]

(Okay, I watched ANH this weekend, so I think I should be good now.)

"Learn about the Force, Luke."

[Momin327]

"Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going."

[Sam Kenobi]

"You must do what you feel is right, of course."

[Momin327]

(On the Death Star):

"Until this battlestation is fully operational, we are vulnerable. The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped, and more dangerous than you realize."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Dangerous to your starfleet Commander, not to this battle station."

[Momin327]

"The Rebellion will continue to gain support in the Imperial Senate!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any consern to us. I've just recieved word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently."

[Momin327]

And then there's "The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away."

Then, there is this:

"That's impossible! How ill the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?"

[Sam Kenobi]

Sheesh. I keep screwin' it up. Sorry. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

"The regional governers now have direct control of their system. Fear, will keeo the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station."

[Momin327]

"And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical readout, it's possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness and exploit it."

[Sam Kenobi]

"The plans you reffer to will soon be back in our hands."

[Momin327]

"Any attack made by the Rebels on this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it."

[YodaFett82]

"Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

[Momin327]

"Don't frighten us with your sorceror's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen datatapes. Or given you enough clairvoyance to find the Rebel's hidden fortre-" (begins choking)

[YodaFett82]

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."

[Momin327]

"Enough of this! Vader, release him!"

[YodaFett82]

"As you wish."

[Momin327]

"This bickering is pointless! Now, Lord Vader will provide for us the location of the Rebel base by the time this station is operational. We will then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke!"

[Obi-Stu]

Back on Tatooine

"It looks like Sandpeople did this, all right. Look, here are Gaffi sticks, Bantha tracks. It's just...I never heard of them hitting anything this big before."

[Momin327]

"They didn't, but we are meant to think they did. These tracks are side by side, Sand People always ride single file to hide their numbers."

[YodaFett82]

"These are the same Jawas that sold us Artoo and Threepio."

[Momin327]

"And these blast marks, too accurate for Sand People. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise."

[Sam Kenobi]

"But why would Imperial troops want to slaughter jawas? If they traced the droids back here, that could have learned who they sold them to and that would lead them back . . . home!"

[Momin327]

"No! Wait, Luke! It's too dangerous!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"Uncle Owen! Aunt Beru! Uncle Owen . . !"

[Momin327]

(Onboard the Death Star, Vader interrogates the young Princess):

"And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden Rebel Base." (Interrogation droid comes in)

[Sam Kenobi]

(Back on Tatooine.)

"There's nothing you could have done had you been their, Luke. You would have been killed too. And the droids would now be in the hands of the Empire."

[Momin327]

"I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father!"

[Momin327]

*bump*

[Sam Kenobi]

(Luke, Obi, and the droids on a cliff.)

"Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany. We must be cautious."
