[Momin327]

This thread is to say the lines of Return of the Jedi line by line! Let's start again!

STAR WARS

EPISODE VI: RETURN OF THE JEDI

Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine in attempt to rescue his friend Han Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt.
Little does Luke know that the Galactic Empire has secretly begun construction on a new armored space station even more powerful then the first dreaded Death Star
When complete this ultimate weapon will spell certain doom for the small band of rebels struggling to restore freedom to the galaxy....

*A partially completed Death Star, orbits a planet, and a Star Destroyer enters orbit. A shuttle flies out of the hangar bay flanked by two TIE Fighters. As the Shuttle flies past the screen, we see three other Star Destroyers orbiting.*

"Command station, 321. Code clearence Blue. We're starting our approach and ask to deactivate the security shield."

[Momin327]

*bump* Come on, people! Let's do it! Again!

[o8_jedi]

(Fine, if it makes you happy.)

*Inside the Death Star . . .*

"The security deflector sheild will be deactivated when we have confirmation of your code transmission. Stand by."

*The transmission comes in confirming its identity and its prime passenger.*

"You are cleared to proceed."

[Momin327]

"We're starting our approach."

[o8_jedi]

*The TIEs escort the shuttle to the bay and then break off. The shuttle initiates a landing procedure striking similar to the Millenium Falcon before the Battle of Yavin. The shuttle touches down.*

"Inform the commander that Lord Vader's shuttle has arrived."

[Momin327]

"Yes, sir!"

[o8_jedi]

*All avaliable hands line up to greet Vader. The base's commander, Moff Jerjerrod strides quickly in front of the shuttle. Metallic noises are heard from behind the closed ganglplank. It then opens amid hissing noises and soon the ghastly breathing of Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, are heard. Vader strides forth purposefully. Jerjerrod greets him as he tries to keep up.*

"Lord Vader, this is an unexpected visit. We are honored by your presence."

[Momin327]

"You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I am here to put you back on schedule."

[o8_jedi]

"Lord Vader, I assure you my men are working as fast as they can."

[Momin327]

"Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them."

[o8_jedi]

"I assure you, this station will be operational as planned."

[Momin327]

"The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation."

[o8_jedi]

*Jerjerrod speaks in a lowered voice.*

"He asks the impossible. I need more men."

[Momin327]

"Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives."

[o8_jedi]

*Jerjerrod's pants begin to fill with fluids from the shock.*

"The Emperor is coming here?"

[Momin327]

"That is correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress."

[o8_jedi]

"We shall double our efforts."

[Momin327]

"I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am!" Vader walks out of the Hangar Bay.

[Obi-Stu]

*On Tatooine...*

Of course I'm worried. And you should be, too. Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never returned from this awful place.

[Momin327]

"Don't be so sure. If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short-circuit."

[o8_jedi]

*The droids finally arrive at the front door of Jabba the Hutt.*

"Artoo, are you sure this is the right place?"

*Artoo beeps an affirmative.*

"I'd better knock, I suppose."

*Threepio taps the door lightly.*

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here. Let's go back and tell Master Luke."

[Momin327]

*A spherical object on a pole comes out of a hole towards 3PO. The sphere opens like an eyelid and starts speaking in Huttese*

"Goodness gracious me!"

[Sam Kenobi]

(I can only attempt to say Threepio's lines in Huttese, not the wall droid)



"Do, say threy pey oh ar."

"Are two dee towah"

"Ay, tu ta, mishka, Jabba du Hutt."

"I don't think they are going to let us in, Artoo. We'd better go back and tell Master Luke."

[Momin327]

*As 3PO starts to walk away, the door starts opening. After it opens eide enough for the droids to come in, R2 starts going into the palace*

"R2, wait! Oh, dear! R2! I really don't think we should rush into all this! (sees a B'ommar priest's spider-like brain storage unit) Oh, R2! R2! Wait for me!"

[Sam Kenobi]

(*Enter Bib Fortuna)

"De wonna wonga?"

[Momin327]

Not yet...

*R2 strolls along till he bumps into a Gamorrean guard, a large, pig-like alien. 3PO finally catches up with R2*

"Just you deliver Master Luke's message so we can get out of here! (other Gamorrean guards approach the droids) Oh, my! Oh! (the door closes behind them) Oh, no..."

Then there's:

"Day wanna whai goh."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Ha tu"

[o8_jedi]

"We . . . we bring a message to your master, Jabba the Hutt."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Le Jabba no batho. He ise so to."

[o8_jedi]

(Not yet. Bib says "Dae Jabba Wonga?")

*Artoo beeps something at Threepio who translates.*

"And a gift . . . 'Gift?' What gift?"

[Momin327]

"Neh Jabba no barta. Izzai otoh (Fortuna starts carresing R2)..."

[o8_jedi]

*Bib continues to ask Artoo if he could see the message. Artoo shakes his head "no."*

"He says that our instructions are to give it only to Jabba himself. I'm terribly sorry. I'm afraid he's ever so stubborn about these sort of things."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Chu ta!"

[Momin327]

"R2, I have a bad feeling about this..."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Good morning."

[o8_jedi]

*Bib Fortuna whispers something into Jabba's ear*

"The message, Artoo, the message!"

[Momin327]

"Bo shuda..."

*Jabba sits back to watch R2's message*

[o8_jedi]

*Artoo plays the hologram and a human male appears out of the ether. He is dressed in black and has a strange cylinder hanging at his hip.*

"Greeting, Exhaulted One. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight and friend to Captain Solo. I know that you are powerful, Mighty Jabba, and that your anger with Solo must be equally powerful. I seek an audience with Your Greatness to bargain for Solo's life."

*The audience chambers resounds with laughs.*

"With your wisdom, I'm sure that we can work out an arrangement which will be mutually beneficial and enable us to avoid any 'unpleasant confrontation.' As a token of my goodwill, I present to you a gift: these two droids."

[Sam Kenobi]

"What did he say!?"

[o8_jedi]

"Both are hard-working and will serve you well."

*The hologram turns off.*

[Momin327]

almost...

"This can't be! R2, you're playing the wrong message!"

*R2 turns off the hologram projector*

[Sam Kenobi]

"Wuahaahahahahahaha."

[Momin327]

"Bargain rather than fight? He's no Jedi..."

[Sam Kenobi]

"There will be no bargain. I will not give up my favorite decoration. I like Captain Solo just where he is."

[Momin327]

We skipped "We're doomed!"

Back on track:

"R2, look! Captain Solo! And he's still frozen in carbonite!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"I just don't know what has come over Master Luke. Was is something I did? He never expressed any unhappiness with my work. UGHH! The Horror!"

[Momin327]

*They continue, led by Jabba's guards, to the droid torture room, where R2 sees a Gonk Droid's feet burned repeatedly, 'till they are led to another droid*

"Ah, good. New acquisitions. You are a Protocol droid, are you not?"

[Sam Kenobi]

"I am See-Threepio, human Cy-"

[o8_jedi]

"A 'yes' or 'no' will do."

[Momin327]

"Oh. Well, yes."

[o8_jedi]

"Splendid! We have been without an enterpreter since Master got angry with our last one and disintigrated him."

*EB-9D9 points at something.*

[Momin327]

"Disintegrated? (He turns to see a small droid getting disintegrated) Oh!"

[Sam Kenobi]

Wait, you forgot something.

"Oh. Well, yes."

"How many languages do you speak?"

"I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily-"

"Splendid! We have been without an enterpreter since Master got angry with our last one and disintigrated him."

"Disintegrated? Oh!"

"Guard, this protocol droid might be useful. Fit him with a restraining bolt, and take him back up to His Excelencies main audience chamber."

[Momin327]

"R2, don't leave me! *sees destroyed droid* Ooh!"

[Sam Kenobi]

*R2 makes noise*

"You're a fiesty little one. But you'll soon learn some respect. I have need for you on the Masters Sail Barge, and I think you'll fill in nicely."

[Momin327]

*R2 turns to see the same Gonk droid still getting tortured. Meanwhile, in Jabba's throne room, the Max Rebo band performs a song as Jabba watches his Twi'lek slave Oola and Yarna D'gall (sp) dance. The song ends, and there is great applause*

(In Huttese):

"Ah! Do that again!"

[Sam Kenobi]

The band starts over, playing Jedi Rocks:

Joh Yowza: Koo nee tang, na' na' na', ah lowah. Koo nee tang!

Sy Snoodles: Cha tung ee-ma chay - choo raun ta - ne ee choo

Jabba: Ahhhh!

Oola: *Scream*

Sy Snoodles: Oops! Oh, ooh!

Oola: *One last scream*


(NOTE: The _____lines_____ are places where they hold out the word.)

[Momin327]

*Jabba watches with his court as something eats Oola. Meanwhile, a blaster shot goes off. Somebody runs to see what is it, though he gets pushed down by a short, masked figure, pulling a certain Wookie along on a leash*

(In Ubese):

"I have come for the bounty on this Wookie."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Oh no, Chewbacca!"

[Momin327]

(in Huttese):

"At last, we have the might Chewbacca. Come, Talk-droid."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Oh, yes, I am here your Worshipfullness. Yes?"

[o8_jedi]

*Jabba says something to Threepio, who then translates it.*

"The Illustrious Jabba bids you welcome and will gladly pay you the reward of 25,000."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Yo to. Yo to."

[o8_jedi]

*To which Threepio translates . . .*

"50,000. No less."

[Momin327]

*Jabba knocks 3PO to the ground, after which 3PO stands*

"What did I say?"

[o8_jedi]

*Jabba shouts something, to which Threepio translates.*

"Jabba asks why must he pay the 50,000."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Ay, yoto."

"Because he's holding a thermal detonator!"

[Momin327]

*Boba Fett pulls out his blaster and everyone ducks, screaming. Jabba, on the other hand, is laughing.*

(in Huttese:)

"This bounty hunter is my kind of scum. Fearless and inventive."

[Sam Kenobi]

"The illustrious Jabba offers you the sum of thirty-five thousand. And I do suggest you take it."

[Momin327]

*The bounty hunter says something in Ubese, and switches off his thermal detonator*

"He agrees!"

[o8_jedi]

*Chewbacca is taken by Gamorreans to the prison. Threepio approaches Bouush, who says:*

"Du cha."

*In the background, one of Jabba's guards looks on and pulls down his mask, revealing Lando Calrissian.*

[Momin327]

*Outside, a frog-like creature eats a small insect like creature with its tongue, and belches loudly. Late at night, all are asleep, except for the mysterious bounty hunter, who accidentally bumps into some wind chimes at the entrance. Fortunately, nobody is stirred. The bounty hunter walks over to the alcove where Han Solo is is being displayed in carbonite. He presses a button, lowering the case, loudly, though nobody is stirred. He presses some buttons and watches the carbonite melt away. Han sighs as it melts, falling down after completely melting. Han doesn't move, though after the bounty hunter bends down to see him does he move again. Han shakes as he gets up*

[in processed Basic (English)]

"Just relax for a moment. You're free of the carbonite. (Han waves his hand in front of his eyes) Shh, you have hibernation sickness."

[o8_jedi]

"I can't see."

[Momin327]

"Your eyesight will return in time."

[o8_jedi]

"Where am I?"

[Jacen Solo]

"Jabba's palace."

[o8_jedi]

*Han reaches up to feel who his rescuer was, only feeling Bouush's helmet.*

"Who are you?"

[Sam Kenobi]

Boushh pulls of his helmet to reveal . . .

"Someone who loves you."

[o8_jedi]

"Leia!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"Come on, I've got to get you outta here."

[o8_jedi]

*A deep booming noise suddenly resounds.*

"What's that?"

*Han eventually recognizes the noise.*

"I know that laugh."

*On cue, a curtain opens up behind our heroes, revealing Jabba and his enterage.*

"Look, Jabba, I was on my way back to pay you and I got a little sidetracked. It's not my fault."

[Momin327]

(in Huttese:)

"It's too late for that, Solo. You may have been a good smuggler, but now you're bantha fodder!" *Jabba starts laughing*

[Sam Kenobi]

"Bring her to me."

"Look, Jabba. I'll pay you triple. You're throwing away a fortune here, don't be a fool!"

[Momin327]

Not yet, Jabba says "Take him away.", then he says "Wait! Bring her to me..."

*Lando and a Gamorrean make Leia walk over to Jabba*

"We have powerful friends, you're going to regret this!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"I'm sure."

[o8_jedi]

*Jabba licks his chops at the thought of what he's going to do to Leia. She groans in disgust. Threepio turns away.*

"Oh, I can't bear to watch."

*Salacious Crumb cackles.*

[Momin327]

*Han gets thrown into a cell in the dungeon. He hears a strange purring sound.*

"Chewie? (Chewie growls) Chewie, is that you? (Chewie runs over to hug Han) Chew-Chewie! I can't see, pal! What's going on? (Chewie says something) Luke?! Luke's crazy! He can't take care of himself, much less rescue anybody... (Chewie says some more) A Jedi Knight?! I'm out of it for a while, everyone has delusions of grandeur! (Chewie rubs Han's hair) I'm all right, pal. I'm all right."

[Sam Kenobi]

Gammoreans are choked, and Salacious Crumb giggles.

"Yo Master epon Skywalker. Jabba u ma tu ma too."

"I must speak with Jabba."

"Shhh! Tees o seet."

[o8_jedi]

*A partially asleep Leia stirs to see what the commotion is. The hooded Luke Skywalker waves his hand at Bib Fortuna.*

"You will take me to Jabba now."

*Bib thinks for a bit.*

<Ryl> "I will take you to Jabba now. </Ryl>

*Bib walks to his slumbering master and Luke walks to the audience floor.*

"You serve your master well."

<Ryl> "I serve my master well." </Ryl>

"And you will be greatly rewarded."

<Ryl> "And I will be greatly rewarded." </Ryl>

[Sam Kenobi]

"Oh, Master Luke's come to rescue me."

[Momin327]

"Master, (Jabba wakes from his sleep, and Leia, Jabba's new slave, turns her eyes from Luke) I present to you Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight."

[o8_jedi]

<Huttese> "I told you not to admit him!" </Huttese>

[Sam Kenobi]

"I must be allowed to speak."

[o8_jedi]

<Ryl> "He must be allowed to speak." </Ryl>

[Sam Kenobi]

"You weak minded fool! He's using an old Jedi mind trick."

[Momin327]

"You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookie to me."

[Sam Kenobi]

"You're mind tricks will not work on me, boy."

[Jacen Solo]

"Nevertheless, I am taking Captain Solo and his friends. You can either profit from this or be destroyed. It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers."

[Momin327]

"Master Luke, you're standing on-"

[Sam Kenobi]

"There will be no bargain, young Jedi. I shall enjoy watching you die."

"Baska!"

[o8_jedi]

*Luke Force-pulls a blaster to his hand. A Gamorrean guard attempts to stop him just as Jabba hits the control switch causing the trap-door to open. Luke falls in along with the Gamorrean, who shall henceforth be referred to as "Piggy". In the pit, Luke readies himself, while Piggy tries to scramble up the tunnel he just came out of. A large door at the far side of the pit opens slowly. Jabba and his entire audience chamber look on in excitement.*

"Oh, no! The rancor!"

*Just as Threepio speaks these words, out walks the rancor. It is a slobbering, hunched creature easily 5 meters high sporting an earring. Luke is shocked. The rancor notices Piggy squealing in fear and grabs him. Piggy utters one last squeal before he is eaten. The audience chamber cheers. Whether it was for the rancor or the fact that Piggy's dead, we'll never know. The rancor turns his attention to Luke, who has picked up a large femur to use as a makeshift weapon. The rancor snatches Luke up like Piggy. Leia begins to panic. Just before being stuffed into the rancor's maw, Luke shoves the femur into its mouth, preventing it from closing. The monster roars in frustration, giving Luke enough time to hide in a crack in the wall. Before long, the bone snaps and the rancor resumes his hunt for the young Jedi. Noticing that there is a door in the rancor's holding cell, Luke grabs a sizeable rock. The rancor begins clawing at the claw that Luke's in. Luke slams the rock down on its hand, causing it to roar in pain. Luke quickly dashes between the rancor's legs and opens the door, only to find a grate behind it and it is guarded by the rancor's "keepers." The rancor again walks towards Luke. Luke then spies the controls to the massive door that hangs open overhead. Picking up a rock, Luke waits. When the Rancor walks directly under the door, Luke heaves the stone at the controls. A direct hit. The massive gate crashes down on the rancor, killing it. Luke breathes a sigh of relief. Leia smiles. Luke is quickly shoved out by guards as one keeper rushes in, his eyes welling up with tears.*

[Jacen Solo]

Bring Solo and the Wookiee! They will suffer for this outrage.

[o8_jedi]

*In the pit, the rancor keeper full-out weeps. He's soon consoled by one of his comrades. Just then, our heroes are being forcibly escorted into the audience chamber.*

"Han!"

[Momin327]

"Luke!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"How we doin'?"

[Jacen Solo]

"Same as always."

[Sam Kenobi]

Whoops, I messed up (I think)

"Luke, together again, huh."

"Wouldn't miss it."

"How we doin'?"

"Same as always."

"That bad, huh. Where's Leia?"

[o8_jedi]

"I'm here!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"His High Exaltedness has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately."

[Momin327]

"Good, I hate long waits..."

[YodaFett82]

"You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlacc."

[o8_jedi]

"That doesn't sound too bad."

[Momin327]

*Jabba chuckles, pulling Leia's leash as he does this*

"In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years..."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Second thought, let's pass on that."

[o8_jedi]

"You should have bargained, Jabba."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Racha detaa!"

"It's the last mistake you'll ever make."

[Momin327]

*Jabba pulls Leia down onto his "lap", as she watches her friends get taken away. Later, Jabba's magnificent Sail Barge, with armed skiff escort take Luke et all to the Carkoon pit passing by a herd of Banthas. Onboard Jabba's sail barge, festive music is playing as R2 serves drinks to those onboard. Meanwhile, Jabba tries pulling his slave girl, Leia, who is watching her friends, to his side. She turns around to look at Jabba, then continues looking at her friends. On the skiff carrying Luke, Han, and Chewie, Han tries to make some conversation with a friend he hasn't seen in a while.*

"I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big, dark blur, I see a big, light blur."

[o8_jedi]

"There's not much to see. I used to live here, you know."

[Momin327]

"You're going to die here, you know. Convenient."

[Sam Kenobi]

"Just stick close to Chewie and Lando. I've taken care of everything."

[o8_jedi]

"Oh. Great."

[Momin327]

*On the Sail Barge, Jabba pulls Leia to his side, with Bib Fortuna pushing her to him*

"Soon, you will learn to appreciate me..."

[Sam Kenobi]

(Momin's favorite scene . . . style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif j/k)

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Artoo, what are you doing here?"

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/artoo.gif R2 noises. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/artoo.gif

"Well, I can see your serving drinks, but this place is dangerous. They're going to execute Master Luke, and if we're not carefull, us too!"

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/artoo.gif R2 noises. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/artoo.gif

"Well, I wish I had your confidence."

[Momin327]

*The vessels stop at the pit. A plank extends from Luke's skiff. Luke looks to see what lies in the pit: several tentacles and a great, faceless beak, ready to swallow. Lando turns away in disgust. On the sail barge, 3PO grabs a microphone and starts speaking:*

"Victims of the almighty Sarlaac, his excellency hopes you will die honorably. But should any of you wish to beg for mercy, the great Jabba will listen to your pleas."

[o8_jedi]

"Threepio! You tell that slimy peice of worm-ridden . . . filth he'll get no such pleasure from us! *To Chewie* Right?"

*Chewie roars a "no."*

[Toran]

"Jabba, this is your last chance. Free us or die."

Followed by everyone laughing at Luke.

[o8_jedi]

"Zapooga daya."

[Move him into position.]

*A Weequay pushes Luke out onto the precipice. Luke nods, to Lando, who nods back. Artoo rolls out to the upper deck. Leia watches, worried about Luke's safety. Luke spies Artoo and gives him a salute. A panel opens up in Artoo and a cylindrical object peeks out.

"Kush humah!"

[Put him in.]

*The Weequay pushes Luke, who turns around, grabs the gangplank and flips himself back onto the skiff. Artoo shoots out the object towards the pit. Luke lands and uses the Force to call it to his hand. He catches it. Immediately, the object protrudes a familiar hum. It is a lightsaber. Unlike the one Luke lost on Bespin, this one is green. The rescue has begun.*

[Momin327]

*On the sail barge, Leia smiles with joy seeing Luke fighting. Threepio is knocked to the ground by a Gamorrean guard, and Leia looks around and thinks of something she can do... Meanwhile, Luke slices a guard in the chest and the guard falls in the pit. Luke goes over to Han and Chewie, trying to free them.*

"Easy, Chewie..."

[o8_jedi]

*Jabba's minions scrambles to stop this before it has a chance to escalate out of control. Lando, now unmasked, grapples with another guard. A guard on the barge sets up a blaster on the railing and fires at the skiff. Lando and the guard are knocked off. Lando manages to hang on to some ropes dangling from the side, preventing him from falling into the sarlaac's clutches. The same can't be said about the guard who rolls into the sarlaac's maw.*

"Help!"

[Momin327]

*Boba Fett activates his jetpack, then flies over to the skiff where the prisoners are. As soon as Boba pulls out his blaster, Luke slices it in two. But a laser blast from the Sail Barge knocks Han and Chewie to the bottom of the skiff.*

"Chewie, you okay? Where is he?"

[o8_jedi]

*Fett shoots a piton, which wraps around Luke, pinning his hands to his body. Just as a barge guard fires, Luke cuts the wire and deflecting the bolt so it knocks Fett over. Luke frees himself. Lando is still in a predicament.*

"Han! Chewie!"

[Momin327]

"Lando!"

[o8_jedi]

*Another skiff floats above the sarlaac pit with its passenger firing upon the heros. Luke jumps to the other skiff and begins to fight Jabba's cronies. Fett climbs to his feet. Chewie sees this and tells the still poor-sighted Han.*

"Boba Fett?!"

*Fett raises a wrist-mounted blaster and takes a shot at Luke.*

"Boba Fett?! Where?"

*Han turns around and, with the force pike he's holding, hits Fett's jetpack, unwittingly activating it. Fett flies out of control smacking into the sailbarge. The pack turns off and Fett drops. He lands in the sand and rolls towards the sarlaac's maw. He's screams as he's ingested. The sarlaac lets out a burp, which can either be determined as satisfying or as a sign of impending digestive problems.*

[Sam Kenobi]

"Lando, grab it!"

[o8_jedi]

"Lower it!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"I'm trying."

[Momin327]

*On the Sail Barge, Jabba barks orders, and Leia decides to take matters into her own hands. She smashes the controls, retracting the shudders, plunging the deck into darkness. After occupants dash out, Leia jumps behind Jabba, then throws the leash keeping her bound to Jabba around his neck. Leia starts pulling with all her might. After a while, Leia continues struggling to destroy her master. Jabba's tail wiggles wildly, and ith a final, strong pull, Leia kills Jabba. After seeing this, she leaps down, to reach for a gun, but it's out of her reach because of her leash. Outside, a final blast sends the prisoners' skiffs falling on its side. Han falls out a bit*

"Whoa! Grab me Chewie, I'm slipping!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"Help! Chewie!"

[Momin327]

*Luke sees a gunner shooting at Han and Chewie's skiff. Luke jumps off a skiff and onto the side of the sail barge. A minion pushes open a shutter with a blaster, pointing it a Luke. But Luke grabs the minion and throws him out of the Sail Barge into the Sarlaac pit and continues climbing. Below, the minion meets his end in the beak of the Sarlaac.*

"Grab it! Y'almost got it!"

[o8_jedi]

*Just then, a tentacle wraps itself around Lando's leg.*

"YEEAAAAGGHHH!"

[Momin327]

We skipped some things...

"Almost, (a laser bolt hits the skiff) whoa!"

*On the Sail Barge, Luke activates his lightsaber and starts attacking the minions on the barge, including the gunner firing at Han. A minion tries to shoot Luke, but Luke deflects his laser bolts. Meanwhile...*

"Gently now, all right, easy, hold me, Chewie..." Then the tentacle wraps around Lando's ankle.

"Chewie!!!"

[Sam Kenobi]

"Give me the gun."

[o8_jedi]

*Han raises the blaster and points it in the general direction of the sarlaac tentacle.*

"Don't worry, Lando."

[Sam Kenobi]

"No wait, I thought you were blind!"

[o8_jedi]

"It's all right. I can see a lot better."

[Sam Kenobi]

"A little higher, just a little bit higher!"

[o8_jedi]

*Han takes the shot. It hits the tentacle, causing it to release its grip on Lando.*

"Chewie, pull us up."

*Lando inches his way back up the side of the pit with Han and Chewie's help.*

[Master_Mams]

*Back inside jabba's barge, Leia is released by style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/artoo.gif *
Leia :"c'mon we gotta go outta here"

[Sam Kenobi]

*This is where Luke jumps onto the Sail Barge, right?*

[Master_Mams]

*actually it was before that, while han was rescueing lando*

C3-PO: "Not my eyes!!! Help me R2!!!"

[o8_jedi]

*Artoo rolls up and extends his electric welder (I think that's what it is). With an accurate blast, he fires a bolt at Salacious Crumb and catches him on the backside. Crumb jumps to the rafters in pain. He then babbles at Artoo in whatever language Kowakian Lizard-Monkeys speak. At the top deck of the sail barge, Luke continues to hold what remains of Jabba's minions at bay. He then sees Leia looking for an escape route. He calls out to her.*

"Get the gun! Point it at the deck! Point it at the deck!"

[Master_Mams]

*A jabba's minion shoots a blaster shot at Luke's right hand. Luke slices him off. Meanwhile the droids came up to the deck*

C3-PO: "R2, where are we going? I couldn't possibly---aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh"

[Sam Kenobi]

"Come on!"

[Momin327]

*Leia runs over to Luke, holding him as he presses down on the trigger of the gun, setting off an explosion. They swing over to the skiff on a pipe.*

"Let's go! And don't forget the droids!"

[o8_jedi]

"We're on our way"

*Lando pulls the skiff to where a periscope and a pair of legs stick out of the dunes. He lowers two devices and pull the droids from the sand. Nearby, the sail barge continues to produce small explosions. As they pull away, the barge explodes in a massive fireball spewing debris and flames everywhere. The skiff escapes undamaged. A short time later, the Millenium Falcon and an X-Wing streak from Tatooine. Our heros live to fight in the battle to come.*

[Sam Kenobi]

"Hurry. The Alliance should be assembled by now."

[o8_jedi]

(You forgot "I'll meet you back at the fleet")

"I will."

[Momin327]

"Hey, Luke. Thank's for coming after me. Now I owe you one!"

[o8_jedi]

*Luke smiles.*

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/artoo.gif beeps.

*Luke looks at the translation on the screen.*

"That's right, Artoo, we're going to the Dagobah system."

*Luke reaches for a glove on the side of the cockpit and puts it on his right hand, which now has some of its machinery exposed from the shot he took.*

"I have a promise to keep to an old friend."

*Luke's X-Wing then streaks towards Dagobah, the home of Yoda.*

[Momin327]

*Meanwhile, back at the Death Star II, swarms of TIE starfighters fly around the Death Star II, because the great Emperor Palpatine (or is it Sidious?) has arrived. In the hangar bay where his shuttle has landed, the hangar is lined with Stormtroopers, TIE Fighter pilots, and other officers of the Empire. By the shuttle, Lord Vader and Moff Jerjerrod kneel as the Emperor comes out. He looks exactly the same as when we last saw him in ROTS, except he's older.*

"Rise, my friend."

[o8_jedi]

*Vader and Jerjerrod rise. The Emperor and Vader walk side by side down the rows of the assembled. Jerjerrod trails behind them*

"The Death Star will be completed on schedule."

[Momin327]

"You have done well, Lord Vader. And now, I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker."

[o8_jedi]

*Vader turns to the Emperor upon hearing the mention of his son.*

"Yes, my master."

[Momin327]

"Patience, my friend. He has grown strong. Only together can we turn him to the Dark Side of the Force."

[o8_jedi]

(It's "Patience, my friend. In time, he will seek you out, and when he does, you must bring him before me . . .")

VADER: "As you wish."

[Momin327]

Sorry. Haven't seen many of the SW movies in a while...

"Everything is proceeding as I have forseen."

*The Emperor laughs as he speaks with Vader*

[o8_jedi]

*On the planet Dagobah, Luke's X-Wing sits on a patch of land, rather than in a pond. Artoo performs repairs on it. Not too far away, in a hut, Luke looks at the great Jedi Master in an unusual way. Yoda, now acting much older than last we saw him, takes note of this.*

YODA: "That face you make. Look I so old to young eyes?"

[Sam Kenobi]

LUKE: "No, of course not."

[o8_jedi]

*Yoda sees through the smokescreen.*

YODA: "I do. (coughs) Yes, I do. Sick have I become . . . old and weak."

*Luke's concern grows."

YODA: "When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not. Hmm?"

*Yoda chuckle and then coughs again. He moves towards his bed.*

YODA: "Soon will I rest. Yes, forever sleep. Earned it, I have."

[Sam Kenobi]

LUKE: "Master Yoda, you can't die."

[Talcy]

Yoda - Strong am I with the Force. But not that strong. Twilight is upon me. Soon, night must fall. That is the way of things. (sighs) The way of Force.

[Sam Kenobi]

LUKE: "But I've come back to finish my training."

[Talcy]

Yoda - No more training do you require. Already know you, that which you need.

[o8_jedi]

LUKE: "Then I am a Jedi...."

[Talcy]

Yoda's eyes open slightly and he coughs.

Yoda - No...(coughs)...no. Not yet. One thing remains. Vader. You must confront Vader. Only then, a true Jedi will you be. And confront him you will.

[Sam Kenobi]

LUKE: "Yoda, is Darth Vader my father?"

[o8_jedi]

*Yoda rolls over and takes his covers and hikes them over his shoulder.*

YODA: "A rest, I need. Yes, rest."

[Sam Kenobi]

LUKE: "Yoda, I must know."

[o8_jedi]

*Yoda gets comfortable and sighs.*

YODA: "Your father, he is."

*Luke gains a surprised look as he finds out the truth . . . again. Unlike a possible bold-faced lie from Vader, the dying master couldn't do the same.*

YODA: "Told you, did he?"

[Sam Kenobi]

(You get all the cool lines. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif )

LUKE: "Yes."

[o8_jedi]

YODA: "Unexpected, this is. *deep breath* And unfortunate."

[Momin327]

"Unfortunate that I know the truth?"

[o8_jedi]

YODA: "No!"

*Yoda rolls back over.*

YODA: "Unfortunate that you rushed to face him. That incomplete was your training. That not ready for the burden, were you."

[Master Magnus]

Luke: "I'm sorry".

[o8_jedi]

YODA: "Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware . . . Anger, Fear, Agression, the Dark Side, are they. Once you start down the Dark Path, forever will it dominate your destiny."

*Yoda begins to slip away, and there's still much more to tell.*

YODA: "Luke. Luke, do not . . . Do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate, you will."

*His voice becomes weaker and weaker.*

YODA: "Luke, when gone am I . . . the Last of the Jedi, will you be."

*His voice is barely above a whisper.*

YODA: "Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned."

*Yoda clings to the last thread of life to pass on one more bit of information.*

YODA: "Luke, . . . there . . . is . . . another . . . Sky . . . walker."

*Yoda's head droops down. With that, Yoda, arguably the greatest Jedi ever, becomes one with the Force. Luke can hardly believe what he heard: "There is another Skywalker," but now is not the time to dwell on it. He looks back at Yoda in fond rememberance as Yoda's coporeal remains, like Ben Kenobi's, disappear. The covers collapse down with nothing under there to support them.*

I didn't know that's what he said until a few years ago. Well, quite a few, but still a while.

LUKE: "I can't do it Artoo. I can't go on alone."

[o8_jedi]

*An ethereal voice called out of the swamp.*

OBI-WAN: "Yoda will always be with you."

[Sam Kenobi]

LUKE: "Obi-Wan."

[o8_jedi]

(Shouldn't Luke be saying that...?)

*A semi-transparent, glowing, blue image of Luke's first master appears, exactly as the day they met back in the Jundland Wastes of Tatooine. Luke walks over.*

LUKE: "Why didn't you tell me? You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father."

[Sam Kenobi]

Uhh, whoops.

OBI-WAN: "Your father was seduced by the dark side of the force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker, and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view."

[o8_jedi]

LUKE: "'A certain point of view'?"

[Sam Kenobi]

OBI-WAN: "Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view."

[o8_jedi]

*Obi-Wan's ghost sits down on a mound of dirt. Luke sits down as well.*

OBI-WAN: "Anakin was a good friend. When I first knew him, your father was already a great pilot, but I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought that I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong."

[Sam Kenobi]

LUKE: "There is still good in him."

[o8_jedi]

OBI-WAN: "He's more machine now than man: twisted and evil."

[Sam Kenobi]

LUKE: "I can't do it, Ben. I can't kill my own father."

[o8_jedi]

OBI-WAN: "You cannot escape your destiny. You must face Darth Vader again."

[Talcy]

Obi Wan - Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope.

[o8_jedi]

LUKE: "Yoda spoke of another."

[Momin327]

"The other he spoke of was your twin sister."

[o8_jedi]

LUKE: "But I have no sister."

[Momin327]

"To protect you from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason your sister remains safely anonymous."

[o8_jedi]

*Luke listens to Obi-Wan's words, all the while searching his feelings for the identity of his sister. Then, it hits him like a sloppy kiss in a sickbay on Hoth:*

LUKE: "Leia! Leia is my sister!"

[Momin327]

"Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down, Luke. They do you credit, but they can be used to serve the Emperor."

[o8_jedi]

*Over the planet Sullust, a massive Alliance armada has assembled. On the cruiser Home One, pilots, soldiers, captains, and commandos meet to discuss an upcoming battle. Han spies Lando.*

HAN: "Well, look at you! A General, huh?"

[Momin327]

"Somebody must have told them 'bout my little manuever at the battle of Tanaab."

[o8_jedi]

HAN: "Well, don't look at me, pal. I just said you were a fair pilot. I didn't know they were looking for somebody to lead this crazy attack."

[Sam Kenobi]

LANDO: "I'm suprised they didn't ask you."

[o8_jedi]

*Han sits down next to Chewie and Leia.*

HAN: "Well, who says they didn't? But I ain't crazy. You're the the respectable one, remember?"

[Momin327]

*A chime brings order in the chamber. Mon Mothma, a former leader of the Old Republic starts speaking*

"The Emperor has made a critical error, and the time for our attack has come."

[o8_jedi]

(Darn it! I wanted to be Ackbar . . . oh well.)

MON MOTHMA: "The data brought to us by the Bothan spies pinpoint the exact location of the Emperor's new battle station. We also know that the weapon systems of this new Death Star are not yet operational. With the Imperial fleet spread throughout the galaxy in a vain effort to engage us, it is relatively unprotected. But most important of all: we've learned that the Emperor himself is personally overseeing the final stages of the construction of this Death Star."

*Everyone in the room looks at each other in disbelief and a low murmur rises.*

MON MOTHMA: "Many Bothans died to bring us this information. Admiral Ackbar, please."

[Sam Kenobi]

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

ACKBAR: "You can see here the Death Star orbiting the Forrest Moon of Endor. Although the weapon systems on this Death Star are not yet opperational, the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism. Deep Breath. It is protected by an energy field which is generated from the nearby Forrest Moon of Endor. The shield must be deactivated if any attack is to be attempted. Deep Breath. Once the shield is down, our cruisers will create a perimeter, while the fighters fly into the superstructure, and attempt to knock out the main reactor. General Calrissian, I volunteer to leed the fighter attack.

[o8_jedi]

HAN: "Good luck!"

*Lando looks over at his friend.*

HAN: "You're gonna need it."

[The Prism]

Ackbar: General Nadine...

[Sam Kenobi]

MADINE: "We have stolen a small Imperial Shuttle. Disquised as a cargo ship, and using a secret Imperial Code, a strike team will land on the moon, and deactivate the shield."

[o8_jedi]

C-3PO: (To Artoo) "Sounds dangerous."

[Momin327]

"Wonder who they found to pull that off..."

[o8_jedi]

MADINE: "General Solo, is your strike team prepared?"

[Momin327]

"Um, my team's ready. I don't have a command crew for the shuttle."

[o8_jedi]

*Chewbacca growls at Han.*

HAN: "It's gonna be rough, pal. I didn't want to speak for you."

*Chewie grunts.*

HAN: (to Madine) "That's one."

[Sam Kenobi]

LEIA: "General, count me in."

[o8_jedi]

*A voice calls from the massed.*

LUKE: "I'm with you, too!"

*Luke. Leia gets up and they embrace.*

[Sam Kenobi]

HAN: "Luke!"

[o8_jedi]

(Forgot a bit.)

*Leia breaks from the embrace and reads something in Luke's face. Something odd.*

LEIA: "What is it?"

LUKE: "Ask me again, sometime."

*Han and Chewie walk up.*

LUKE: "Hey, Han. Chewie."

[Sam Kenobi]

Ah, I was thinking it went the other way around.

ARTOO: style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/artoo.gif noises

C-3P0: "Exciting is hardly the word I would choose."

[o8_jedi]

*Inside the hangar, fighter crews prep various craft, the ground team boards the Tydirium and Lando and Han are talking.*

HAN: "Look, I want you to take her. I mean it, take her! You need all the help you can get. She's the fastest ship in the fleet!"

*He's talking about his "baby," the Falcon*

[Sam Kenobi]

LANDO: Chuckle "Alright, ol' buddy. You know I know what she means to you. I'll take good care of her, she . . . she won't get a scratch."

[o8_jedi]

*Han walks towards the boarding ramp and turns around.*

HAN: "I've got your promise, now. 'Not a scratch.'"

[Sam Kenobi]

LANDO: Chuckle "Would you get goin', you pirate!"

[o8_jedi]

*Han salutes.*

HAN: "Good luck."

[Sam Kenobi]

(I think)

LANDO: "You too."

[o8_jedi]

*Han boards the shuttle and Lando walks towards the Falcon. Inside the cockpit, Luke, the droids, and Chewie are prepping the ship for launch.*

HAN: "You've got her warmed?

[Talcy]

Luke - Yeah, she's comin' up.

[Sam Kenobi]

HAN: "No Chewie, I don't think the Empire had Wookies in mind when they designed her, Chewie."

[o8_jedi]

*Han takes a good, long look at the Falcon, which sits right in front of the shuttle. Just then an eerie thought comes into his head.*

LEIA: "Hey, you awake?"

[Talcy]

Han - Yeah. I just got a funny feelin'. Like I'm not gonna see her again.

[o8_jedi]

LEIA: "C'mon, General, let's move."

[Talcy]

Han snaps out of it.

HAN - Yeah. Chewie! Let's see what this piece of junk can do.

[Momin327]

"Everybody ready?"

[Momin327]

Bump

[o8_jedi]

C-3PO: "Here we go again."

[Momin327]

*The shuttle departs Home One*

"All right, hang on."

*The shuttle enters hyperspace*

[o8_jedi]

*In a tall spire at the Death Star, Vader stands before the Emperor, who had just summoned him.*

VADER: "What is thy bidding, my master?"

[Momin327]

"Send the fleet to the far side of the moon. There, it will stay until called for."

[o8_jedi]

VADER: "What of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing near Sullust?"

[Momin327]

"It is of no concern. Soon, the Rebellion will be crushed, and young Skywalker will be one of us. Your work here is finished, my friend. Go on the command ship and await my orders."

[o8_jedi]

VADER: "Yes, my master."

[Momin327]

*bump*

[Momin327]

*"Houston, we've had a bump here."

[o8_jedi]

*Over Endor, Tydirium drops into realspace. Between the Death Star is the flagship Executor.*

HAN: "If they don't go for this, we're gonna have to get out of here pretty quick, Chewie."
