I can’t abide these Jawas. Disgusting creatures. Go on, go on. I can’t understand how we got by those troopers. I thought we were dead. The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded. You will find it a powerful ally. Do you really think we’re going to find a pilot here that’ll take us to Alderaan? Well, most of the best freighter pilots can be found here. Only watch your step. This place can be a little rough. I’m ready for anything. Come along, Artoo.
Someone was in the pod. The tracks go off in this direction. Look, sir — droids.
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. Don’t try to frighten us with your sorcerer’s ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel’s hidden fort… I find your lack of faith disturbing. Enough of this! Vader, release him! As you wish. This bickering is pointless. Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the Rebel fortress by the time this station is operational. We will then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke.
There. You see Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation. You may fire when ready. What? You’re far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration. But don’t worry. We will deal with your Rebel friends soon enough. No! Commence primary ignition.
Her resistance to the mind probe is considerable. It will be some time before we can extract any information from her. The final check-out is complete. All systems are operational. What course shall we set? Perhaps she would respond to an alternative form of persuasion. What do you mean? I think it is time we demonstrate the full power of this station. Set your course for Princess Leia’s home planet of Alderaan. With pleasure.
Secure this area until the alert is canceled. Give me regular reports. Do you know what’s going on? Maybe it’s another drill. What was that? Oh, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.
Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together. Now, let’s see if we can’t figure out what you are, my little friend. And where you come from. I saw part of the message he was… I seem to have found it.
Let me see your identification. You don’t need to see his identification. We don’t need to see his identification. These are not the droids your looking for. These are not the droids we’re looking for. He can go about his business. You can go about your business. Move along. Move along. Move along.
Seventeen thousand! Those guys must really be desperate. This could really save my neck. Get back to the ship and get her ready. You’ll have to sell your speeder. That’s okay. I’m never coming back to this planet again. Going somewhere, Solo? Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I’ve got his money. It’s too late. You should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba’s put a price on your head, so large that every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you. I’m lucky I found you first. Yeah, but this time I got the money. If you give it to me, I might forget I found you. I don’t have it with me. Tell Jabba…
And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical readout of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, that they might find a weakness and exploit it. The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands. Any attack made by the Rebels against 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!
He says the restraining bolt has short circuited his recording system. He suggests that if you remove the bolt, he might be able to play back the entire recording. H’m? Oh, yeah, well, I guess you’re too small to run away on me if I take this off! Okay. There you go. Well, wait a minute. Where’d she go? Bring her back! Play back the entire message. What message? The one you’re carrying inside your rusty innards! Luke? Luke! Come to dinner! All right, I’ll be right there, Aunt Beru. I’m sorry, sir, but he appears to have picked up a slight flutter. Well, see what you can do with him. I’ll be right back. Just you reconsider playing that message for him. No, I don’t think he likes you at all. No, I don’t like you either.
I’m not going anywhere. They’re going to execute her. Look, a few minutes ago you said you didn’t want to just wait here to be captured. Now all you want to do is stay. Marching into the detention area is not what I had in mind. But they’re going to kill her! Better her than me… She’s rich. Rich? Yes. Rich, powerful! Listen, if you were to rescue her, the reward would be… What? Well more wealth that you can imagine. I don’t know, I can imagine quite a bit! You’ll get it! I better! You will…
Did you hear that? They’ve shut down the main reactor. We’ll be destroyed for sure. This is madness! We’re doomed! There’ll be no escape for the Princess this time. What’s that? Artoo! Artoo-Detoo, where are you? At last! Where have you been? 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! Wait a minute, where are you going?
Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. You mean it controls your actions? Partially. But it also obeys your commands. Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. You don’t believe in the Force, do you? Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense. I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. With the blast shield down, I can’t even see. How am I supposed to fight? Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them.
What a piece of junk. She’ll make point five beyond the speed of light. She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid. I’ve added some special modifications myself. We’re a little rushed, so if you’ll hurry aboard we’ll get out of here. Hello, sir. Which way? All right, men. Load your weapons! Stop that ship! Blast ’em! Chewie, get us out of here! Oh, my. I’d forgotten how much I hate space travel.
