Original subtitles

You may fire when ready.

I have you now.

What?

Lookout!

No!

You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home!

Evacuate? In our moment of triumph?

Great shot, kid. Thai was one in a million.

Get out of there... I gotta get out of there.

Sir, we caught a distress signal coming in.

Then he's not dead.

Tell Captain Kagi to prepare my shuttle for immediate take off.

Yes, Master.

I sens Lord Vader is in danger...

There he is.

He's still alive.

- Get a medical capsule, immediately. - Yes, Sir.

Lord Vader?

There is great disturbance in the Force.

I have felt it.

We have a new enemy.

The young rebel who destroyed the Death Star.

If he could be turned he would become a powerful ally.

Yeah...

We will join us, or die. Master.

Steady girl! What's the matter?

You smell something?

Rodger, Rodger.

Chewie!

All right, don't lose your temper. I'll come right back and give you a hand.

Solo...

No sign of life out there. The sensors are in place. You'll know if anything comes around.

General, I've got to leave. I can't stay anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that.

You're a good fighter, Solo. I hate to lose you.

Thank you, General.

So long, Princess.

Han!

Yes, Your Highnessness?

Han, we need you!

- We need? - Yes.

- What about you need? -I need?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You probably don't.

And what precisely am I supposed to know?

Come on!

You want me to stay because of the way you feel about me.

Yes, you're a great help to us. You're a natural leader...

No! That's not it.

Come on...

- I-\ahhh -- Come on. - You're imagining things.

Am I? Then why are you following me? Afraid I was going to leaye without giyin' a goodbye kiss?

- I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee. - I can arrange that.

You could use a good kiss!

You've been so busy being a princess, you haven't learned how to be a woman.

Your big opportunity is flying out of here, sweetheart. Right now.

- I think I can survive! - Good luck!

You don't care about all those people depending on you...

Spare me, please! Don't tell me about the Rebellion again.

Don't you think about anything else?

I'm sorry, but you're as cold as this planet.

And you think you're the one to apply some heat?

I could. But I'm not really interested anymore.

We'll meet again. Maybe by then you'll have warmed up a little.

You have all the breeding of a Bantha... and just about as much as charm.

Enjoy your trip, hot shot!

I didn't ask you to turn on the thermal heater. I merely commented that it was freezing in the princess's chamber.

- You said "turn ii on". - But it's supposed to be freezing.

How are we going to dry out all her clothes? I really don't know.

- You said "turn it on"... - Oh, switch off!

- Why do you take this apart now? I'm trying to get us out of here and you... - Excuse me, Sir.

- Put them back together right now. - Might I have a word with you, please?

- What do you want? - It's Princess Leia, Sir.

- She's been trying to get you on the communicator. - I turned it off. I don't want to talk to her.

Well, Princess Leia is wondering about Master Luke. He hasn't come back yet. She doesn't know where he is.

- I don't know where he is. - Nobody knows where he is.

What do you mean, "nobody knows"? Deck officer!

Excuse me, Sir. Might I...

- Yes, Sir? - Do you know where Commander Skywalker is?

I haven't seen him. It's possible he came in through the south entrance.

It's possible? Why don't you go find out?

- Excuse me, sir. Might I inquire what's going on? - Why not?

Impossible man. Come along, R2, leis find Princess Leia.

Between ourselves, I think Master Luke is in considerable danger.

Luke...

Use the Force, Luke.

Run, Luke. Run!

R2, of course Master Luke will be all right. He'll be quite all right.

Wait... Somethingfs wrong.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Oh! Go away!

How typical.

Yellow learn report. We just killed a wampa.

God job. We trapped another one in room 1138.

Echo base.

I got something. 0t much but it could be a life form.

Commader Skywalker, do you copy? This is Rogue-L

Do you copy?

Commader Skywalker.

Looks like a good spa.

I don't know what he's sayin. Doesn't make any sens to me.

Translate, 3P0.

I do hope he's all there, if you see what I mean.

It'd be most unfortuned if Master Luke got short-circuit.

Hey, that not what I said!

Luke...

You' will go to the Dagobah system.

There you will learn from Yoda.

I do love those bubbles!

Thank the Maker!

The Bacta are growing well. Those scars should be gone in a day or so.

- Does it hurt? - I'm fine.

Leia...

When I was out in that storm...

I was really worried.

"You" were worried?

But...

It got me thinking, you know.

I might have never get the chance to...

What?

Tell me.

Looke at those two!

Master Luke! It's so good to see you fonctional again.

- Thanks, 3P0. - relax now.

- R2 expresses his releave also. - I'll be back later.

Leia.

I have to go away for a while.

What?

It's not far from here.

That's great... That's just great!

- Why doesn't everyone just take off? - What are you talking about?

First Han, now you.

When am I going to learn not to count on anyone but myself?

I didn't know he was leaving.

I was getting along just fine before I met you two moon jockeys.

Calm down. Tell me about...

I could get more loyalty if I went down the hall and recruited some of those ice creatures.

Ice creatures, here?

Yes, but they're being trapped. Rather cleverly.

Hey, kid!

You don't look so bad to me.

You look strong enough to pull the ears off a Gundark.

Well your Worship, looks like you managed to keep me around for a little while longer.

I had nothing to do with it.

General Rieekan thinks it's dangerous for any ships to leave the system until we've activated the energy shield.

That's a good story. I think you just can't bear to let a gorgeous guy like me out of your sight.

I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain.

Laugh it up, fuzz ball.

But you didn't see us alone in the south passage.

She expressed her true feelings for me.

Why, you stuck up...half-witted... scruffy-looking... nerf-herder!

Woo, that hurts man...

I must have hit her pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh, kid?

I guess you don't know everything about women yet.

"Headquarters personnel, report to command center."

Take it easy.

Excuse us, please.

Princess...we have a visitor.

We've picked up something outside the base in zone twelve, moving east.

- It's metal. - Then it couldn't be one of those creatures.

- It could be a speeder, one of ours. - No.

Wait -- there's something very weak coming through.

Sir, I am fluent in six million forms of communication. This signal is an Imperial code.

An Imperial probe droid.

We'd better start the evacuation.

I think we've got something, sir.

The report is only a fragment from a probe droid in the Hoth system, but it's the best lead we've had.

We have thousands of probe droids searching the galaxy.

- I want proof, not leads! - The visuals indicate life readings.

It could mean anything. If we followed every lead...

But, Sir, the Hoth system is supposed to be devoid of human forms.

- You found something? - Yes my Lord.

Oh my God... The rebels are there.

My lord, there are so many uncharted settlements. It could be smugglers...

Silence!

Good.

General Veers, prepare you men.

Admiral.

Sir, it will take quite awhile to evacuate the T-4T.

Well, forget the heavy equipment. There's plenty of time to get the smaller modules on the transports.

- Take care, Sir. - Thanks.

Chewie?

Take care of yourself, okay?

Hi, kid.

There's got to be a reason for it. Check it at the other end.

Wait a second.

General, there's a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace in sector 4.

Reroute all power to the energy shield.

We've got to hold them till all transports are away.

Prepare for ground assault.

My lord, the fleet has moves out of light-speed.

Com-Scan has detected an energy field protecting an area around the sixth planet of the Hoth system.

The field is strong enough to deflect any bombardment.

The Rebels are alerted to our presence.

Admiral Ozzel came out of light-speed too close to the system.

He felt surprise was wiser...

- He is as clumsy as he is stupid. - Yes, my Lord.

General, prepare your troops for a surface attack.

Lord Vader, the fleet has moved out of light-speed, and we're preparing to"

I'll say this only once!

We expect you to function as team.

As a team...

- Captain Piefl? - Yes, my Lord.

Remember that, and we'll accomplish our objective.

Our only objective.

Which is... to...

Il-w-ih!

Y“, my Lord.

R2, you take good care of Master Luke now, understand?

I'm programmed to.

Do take care of yourself.

Stop that, it's embarrasing. You're not my mom.

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Yes, Lord Vader. I've reached the main power generator.

The shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing.

Activate harpoon.

Good shot, Janson.

No!

This one goes there, that one goes there. right?

Cable out! Let her go!

Detach cable.

Cable detached.

Come on!

Whooha!! That got him!

Ru!

At last!

Get her ready for takeoff.

Good luck, Luke. See you at the rendez-vous.

Hurry "P!

It's starting to stink around here.

Don't worry, R2. We're going, we're going.

Their primary target will be the power generators.

Prepare to open the shield.

- Enemy, right ahead! - Just hang on.

- Sir, Rebel ships are coming into our sector. - Good. Our first catch of the day.

Stand by, ion control...

...Fire!

"The first transport is away."

- I don't think we can protect two transports at a time. - It's risky, but we can't hold out much longer.

We have no choice.

- Launch patrols. - Evacuate remaining ground staff.

We must go right!

There is nothing wrong, R2. I'm just setting a new course.

Doesn't sound good to me...

We're not going to regroup with the others.

Why not?

We're going to the Dagobah system.

Hum... I have an idea.

Yes, R2?

Give me the control of the ship and rest a bit.

That's all right. I'd like to keep it on manual control for a while.

At least I tried...

All troops will debark for ground assault. Prepare to target the main generator.

Set for position 3... Steady.

You all right?

- Why are you still here? - I heard the command center had been hit.

You got your clearance to leave.

Don't worry. I'll leave. First I'm going to get you to your ship.

Your Highness, we must take this last transport. It's our only hope.

Send all troops in sector 12 to the south slope to protect the fighters.

"Imperial troops have entered the base."

Come on...that's it.

- Distance to power generators? - 1,7, decimal 2,8.

Target. Maximum fire power.

Transport, this is Solo. Better take off, I can't get to you. I'll get her out on the Falcon.

But... where are you going? Come back!!

Wait! Wait for me! Wait! Stop!

- How typical. - Come on.

- There's no one here. - Good work.

Hurry up, goldenrod, or you're going to be a permanent resident!

Wait! Wait!

This bucket of bolts is never going to get us past that blockade.

This baby's got a few surprises left in her, sweetheart.

Come on! Come on! Switch over. Let's hope we don't have a burnout.

- See? - Someday you're going to be wrong, and I hope I'm there to see it.

Punch it!

0k, that's Dagobah. Can we leave now?

No, I'm not going to change my mind about this.

I'm not picking up any cities or technology. Massive life-form readings, though.

There's something alive down there...

I knew it, we're in trouble!

I know, I know!

All the scopes are dead. I can't see a thing!

I'm too cute to die!

What a mess.

Luke, are you okay?

Ah, there you are.

Be careful.

Want me to scan the area?

No, R2,you stay put. I'll have a look around.

Damn it!

Your weapons... you will done need them.

- I saw them! I saw them! - Saw what?

Star Destroyers, two of them, coming right at us.

- Sir, sir! This is madness! - Shut him up or shut him down!

Check the deflector shield!

Oh great... Well, we can still outmaneuver them.

Take evasive action!

Let's get out of here. Ready for Iightspeed?

One...

Two...

Three!

The ship no longer appears on our scopes.

Get a shuttle ready.

I shall assume full responsibility for losing them, and apologize to Lord Vader.

Meanwhile, continue to scan the area.

Hey, it's raining outside. Just saying.

I am ready, I can be a Jedi now!

Patience... For the Jedi it is time to eat as well.

Eat! Hi hi... eat...

Rootleaf, I cook.

When 900 old you reach, look as good you will not.

We're wasting our time.

I cannot teach him.

- The boy has no patience. - He will learn patience.

Much anger in him.

Was I any different when you taught me?

No...

Ben! I can be a Jedi. Ben, tell him I'm read...

Ready, are you? What know you of ready?

For 800 years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is lo be trained!

A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.

Adventure... Excitement... A Jedi craves not these things.

- You are reckless! - So was I, if you'll remember.

He is too old.

Yes, too old to begin the training.

But I've learned so much.

- Will he finished what he begins? - I won't fail you.

I'm not afraid.

That... is why you fail.

Apology accepted, Captain Needa.

- Bounty hunters. We don't need that scum. - Yes, Sir.

Those Rebels won't escape us.

Sir, we have a priority signal from the Star Destroyer Avenger.

Right.

There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon.

Calculate every possible destination along their last known trajectory.

I want them alive. No disintegrations.

- As you wish. - Lord Vader.

- Yes, Admiral, what is it? - The Emperor commands you make contact with him.

Move the ship so that we can send a clear transmission.

Yes, my Lord.

I love the army.

Y“, my Lord.

What is thy bidding, my master?

There is a great disturbance in the Force.

That is... correct.

- Your work here is finished my friend. - What?

Go out to the command station. And await my orders.

Yes, my master.

Your powers are weak, old man...

I don't like this.

I think we'd better replace the negative power coupling.

Where have I heard that before...

Where is R2 when I need him?

Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate,

but it has the most peculiar dialect.

- If I may venture an opinion... - I'm not really interested in your opinion.

Impossible man!

What do you have in mind for your next move?

We've got to find a safe port somewhere around here.

- Any ideas? - No. Where are we?

- I-\noat system. - I-\noat system. There's not much there.

Wait. This is interesting. Lando.

- Lando system? - Lando's not a system, he's a man.

"We go back a long way, Lando and me."

Help you I can. Yes.

Run!

Yes. I-\ Jedi's strength flows from the Force.

But beware of the dark side. Anger...fear...aggression.

The dark side of the Force are they.

Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight.

If once you start down the dark path, foreverwill it dominate your destiny,

consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice.

Vader...

- Is the dark side stronger? - No!

Quicker, easier, more seductive.

But how am I to know the good side from the bad?

You will know.

When you are calm, at peace. Passive.

A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

- But tell me why I can't... - No, no, there is no why.

Nothing more will I teach you today.

Clear your mind of questions.

Yourjacket. You're gonna get a cold.

Luke!

Luke! You sould see this!

Mind blowing!

Woaw...

Good, we can go now.

I don't... I don't believe it.

My ally is the Force.

Command station, this is ST 321. Code Clearance Blue.

We're starting our approach. Deactivate the security shield.

Inform the commander that Lord Vadefs shuttle has arrived.

Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We're honored by your presence.

You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander.

I'm here to put you back on schedule.

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

Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.

Hell you, this station will be operational as planned.

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

But he asks the impossible. I need more men.

Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.

The Emperofs coming here?

And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.

We shall double our efforts.

I hope so, Commander, for your sake.

The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.

- Would you please stop calling me that? - Sure, Leia.

- You make it so difficult sometimes. - I do, I really do.

You could be a little nicer, though.

Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm all right.

Occasionally, maybe...when you aren't acting like a scoundrel.

Scoundrel?

I like the sound of that.

- Stop that. - Stop what?

Stop that. My hands are dirty.

My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?

- Afraid? - You're trembling.

I'm not trembling.

You like me because I'm a scoundrel.

There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.

I happen to like nice men.

- I'm a nice man. - No, you're not. You're...

Han?

Leia!

Controlfiontrol. You must learn control!

Ouch...

I saw...

It is the future you see.

Future?

Always in motion is the future.

There's something not right here.

I feel cold, death.

That place" is strong with the dark side of the Force.

A domain of evil it is.

In you must go.

What's in there?

Something lost. A part of yourself, perhaps.

Next time find something else to practice your magic on, you frog.

"Luke! Don't, it's a trap!"

"It's a trap!"

"We're in danger. I must tell the others!"

"Oh no! I've been shot!"

Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has forseen this.

It is your destiny.

Join me and I will complete your training.

With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict.

Give yourself to the dark side.

I'll neverjoin you!

It is the only way you can save yourfriends.

Your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong.

Especially for...

You know...

She is your sister.

That's not true! That's impossible!

Your feelings have now betrayed her.

No!!!

The Force is strong with her.

If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will.

Join me, and together we can bring order to the galaxy.

No!!

That was bad, I suppose...

No, I don't have a landing permit. I'm trying to reach Lando Calrissian.

Wait a minute! Let me explain.

- "You will not deviate from your present course." - Rathertouchy, aren't they?

I thought you knew this person.

Well, that was a long time ago. I'm sure he's forgotten about that.

"Permission granted to land on Platform 327"

Thank you.

There's nothing to worry about. We go way back, Lando and me.

Who's worried?

Keep your eyes open, huh?

Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler!

How you doing, you old pirate? What are you doing here?

Ahh...repairs. I thought you could help me out.

- What have you done to my ship? - Your ship? Hey...

Remember, you lost her to me fair and square.

How are you doing Chewbacca?

You still hanging around with this loser?

Hello. What have we here?

Welcome. I'm Lando Calrissian. I'm the administrator of this facility.

- And who might you be? - Leia.

Welcome, Leia.

All right, all right... You old smoothie.

Hello, sir. I am 3P0, human-cyborg relations. My facilities are at your...

- Well, really! - What's wrong with the Falcon?

- Hyperdrive. - I'll get my people to work on it.

- Good. - That ship saved my life quite a few times.

She's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.

How's the gas mine? Is it paying off for you?

Oh, not as well as I'd like. We're a small outpost and not very self-sufficient.

And I've had supply problems of every kind. I've had labor difficulties...

What's so funny?

You. Listen to you. You sound like a businessman,

a responsible leader. Who'd have thought that, huh?

You know, seeing you sure brings back a few things.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm responsible these days.

It's the price you pay for being successful.

Oh! Nice to see a familiar face.

How rude!

That sounds like an R2 unit in there. I wonder if... Hello?

How interesting.

Who are you?

Oh, my. I'm terribly sorry.

I didn't mean to intrude. No, please don't get up. No!

I saw a city in the clouds.

- Friends you have there. - They were in pain. Will they die?

Decide you must.

A rest I need.

Yes. A rest.

Yoda, I've got to go to them.

If you leave now, help them you could, but...

you would destroy all for which they have fought and suffered.

I fixed the ship.

But, you should complete your training...

before we leave.

- I can't do it, R2. - I know you can!

Why didn't you tell me?

Leia's my sister.

Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to

depend greatly on our own point of view.

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.

My father didn't fight in the wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter.

That's what your uncle told you...

The Emperor knew, as I did if Anakin were to have any offspring,

they wouldn be a threat to him.

That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous.

Bury your feelings deep down, Luke.

They do you credit.

But they could be made to serve the Emperor.

What happened?

Where?

Found him in a junk pile?

Oh, what a mess. Do you think you can repair him?

Lando's got people who can fix him.

You look absolutely beautiful.

Not really.

You truly belong here with us among the clouds.

- Thank you. - Will you join me for a little refreshment?

Everyone's invited, of course.

- Having trouble with you droid? - No. No problem. Why?

So you see, since we're a small operation, we don't fall into the jurisdiction of the Empire.

- So you're part of the mining guild then? - No, not actually.

Our operation is small enough not to be noticed...

which is advantageous for everybody since our customers are anxious to avoid attracting attention to themselves.

Aren't you afraid the Empire's going to find out about this little operation and shut you down?

It's always been a danger that looms like a shadow over everything we've built here.

But things have developed that will insure security.

I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever.

I had no choice. They arrived right before you did.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

Luke, you must complete the training.

I can't keep the vision out of my head. They're my friends. I've got to help them.

You must not go!

- But Leia will die if I don't. - "You don't know that."

Even Yoda cannot see their fate.

But I can help them! I feel the Force!

But you cannot control it. This is a dangerous time for you,

when you will be tempted by the dark side of the Force.

Yes, yes. To Obi-Wan you listen.

The cave. Remember your failure at the cave!

But I've learned so much since then. I promise to return and finish what I've begun.

You have my word.

It is you and your abilities the Emperor wants. That is why your friends are made to suffer.

That is why I have to go.

Careful you must be when sensing the future.

The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.

Death is a natural part of life.

Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force.

And sacrifice Han and Leia?

If you honor what they fight for...

Yes!

I understand.

M'!?

Fire up the converters.

Luke, don't give in to hate... that leads to the dark side.

I promise.

Told you, I did. Reckless is he.

Now... matters are worse.

Stormtroopers? Here?

We're in danger. I must tell the others.

Oh, no! I've been shot!

Heel terrible.

Why are they doing this?

They never even asked me any questions.

If only you had attached my legs, I wouldn't be in this ridiculous position.

Now, remember, Chewbacca, you have a responsibility to me,

so don't do anything foolish.

What's going on...buddy?

You're being put into carbon freeze.

Stop, please! I'm not ready to die.

Hey, 5MP!

Listen to me. Save you strenght.

There'll be another time.

The princess.

You have to take care of her.

You hear me?

I love you.

I know.

What...wha\'s going on? Turn around, Chewbacca, I can't see.

Oh...they've encased him in carbonite. He should be quite well-protected.

- If he survives the freezing process, that is. - He's alive.

And in perfect hibernation.

It was Han!

Now it's war.

Let me kick his butt!

No... not again!

Well done.

Hold them in the security tower, and keep it quiet. Move.

- What do you think you're doing? - We're getting out of here.

I knew all along it had to be a mistake.

Do you think that after what you did to Han we're going to trust you?

- I had no choice... -What are you doing? Trust him, trust him!

Oh, so we understand, don't we, Chewie? He had no choice.

- I'm just trying to help... - We don't need any of your help.

What?

It sounds like Han.

There's still a chance to save Han..

At the East Platform...

I'm terribly sorry about all this. After all, he's only a Wookiee.

Ben...

Ben, please.

Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold.

R2! R2! Where have you been?

- Wait... Turn around, you wooly! - Where ara we going?

Hurry! We're trying to save Han from the bounty hunter!

I can't move as fast as you guys!

Well, at least your still in one piece! Look what happened to me!

Oh, no! Chewie, they're behind you!

This is intolerable!

Let me see your identification.

Ben...

Eat this!

Gotcha!

That hurts! Bend down you thoughtless.

Leia!

Go!

I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me.

- You've looked better. - of course, I've looked better.

Leia!

Hear me.

Leia!

Luke...

We've got to go back.

- What? - I know where Luke is.

But what about those fighters?

- Chewie, just do it. - But what about Vader?

All right, all right, all right.

Look, someone's up there.

It's Luke. Chewie, slow down.

Slow down and we'll get under him. Lando, open the top hatch.

Okay. Easy, Chewie.

- Lando? - Okay, let's go.

Leia.

All right, Chewie. Let's go.

I'll be back.

Star Destroyer.

All right, Chewie. Ready for light-speed.

If your people fixed the hyperdrive. All the coordinates are set.

- It's now or never. - Punch it!

They told me they fixed it.

I trusted them to fix it. It's not my fault!

Noisy brute. Why don't we just go into light-speed?

Stop moving all the time, and keep quiet.

Pay attention to what you're doing!

Chewie!

Alert all commands. Ready for the tractor beam.

Why do I have to do everything myself?

R2, come back at once! You haven't finished with me yet!

You don't know how to fix the hyperdrive. Chewbacca can do it.

I'm standing here in pieces, and you're having delusions of grandeur!

Hold you to keep...

"Quinn:

You did it!

- Luke, we're ready for takeoff. - Good luck, Lando

When we find that bounty hunter, we'll contact you.

I'll meet you at the rendezvous point on Tatooine.

Princess, we'll find Han. I promise.

Chewie, I'll be waiting for your signal. Take care, you two.

May the Force be with you.

Rise, my friend.

The Death Star will be completed on schedule.

You have done well, Lord Vader.

And now I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker.

Yes, my Master.

Patience, my friend.

In time he will seek you out.

And when he does, you must bring him before me.

He has grown strong.

Only together can we turn him to the dark side of the Force.

As you wish.

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

What a forsaken place this is!

Why couldn't that bounty hunter have taken Captain Solo to a more...

pleasant environment?

The Princess is ready.

But what about Master Luke?

She wants to go.

I thought he was going to rescue Captain Solo.

They'll go together.

You mean they're going to that horrible fortress, alone?

Yup.

We're doomed.

Just relax for a moment. You're free of the carbonite.

Who are you?

Someone who loves you.

Leia

We better go.

I gotta get you out of here.

Solo!

We did it!

Don't get cocky!

I'll meet you back at the fleet.

Don't you come with us?

I've a promise to keep... to an old friend

Hurry.

- The Alliance should be assembled by now. - I will.

Hey Luke, thanks.

Thanks for coming after me.

I owe you one.

Dagobah, here we come!

Yes...

No more training do you require.

Already know you that which you need.

Then I am a Jedi.

No!

Not yet.

One thing remains.

Vader.

You must confront Vader.

Then, only then, a Jedi will you be.

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

The data brought to us by the Bothan spies pinpoints the exact location of the Emperofs new battle station.

We also know that the weapon systems of this 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.

Many Boihans died to bring us this information.

Admiral Ackbar, please.

You can see here the Death Star orbiting the forest Moon of Endor.

Although the weapon systems on this Death Star are not yet operational,

the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism.

It is protected by an energy shield, which is generated from the nearby forest Moon of Endor.

The shield must be deactivated if any attack is to be attempted.

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 has volunteered to lead the fighter attack

Good luck!

My friend.

General Madine.

We have stolen a small Imperial shuttle.

Disguised as a cargo ship, and using a secret Imperial code,

a strike team will land on the moon and deactivate the shield generator.

- Sounds dangerous. - I wonder who they found to pull that off.

General Solo, is your strike team assembled?

My team's ready. I don't have a command crew for the shuttle.

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

That's one.

General... count me in.

I'm with you, too!

- What is it? - Ask me again sometime.

- Luke. - Hi, Han... Chewie.

- This is exciting! - "Exciting" is hardly the word I would use.

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.

All right, old buddy.

You know, I know what she means to you.

I'll take good care of her. She-she won't get a scratch.

- All right? - Right.

I got your promise. Not a scratch.

Would you get going, you pirate.

- You got her warmed? - Yeah, she's cumin' up.

I don't think the Empire had Wookiees in mind when they designed her, Chewie.

- Ready, everybody? - All set.

Let's roll!

Here we go again.

All right, hang on.

What is thy bidding, my Master?

Send the fleet to the far side of Endor.

There it will stay...un\il called for.

What of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing near Sullust?

It is of no concern.

Soon the Rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us!

Go out to the command ship and await my orders.

Yes, my Master.

If they don't go for this, we're gonna have to get outta here pretty quick, Chewie.

'We have you on our screen now. Please identify."

Shuttle Tydirium requesting deactivation of the deflector shield.

Shuttle Tydirium, transmit the clearance code for shield passage.

Transmission commencing.

Now we find out if that code is worth the price we paid.

It'll work. It'll work.

Vadefs on that ship.

Now don't get jittery, Luke. There are a lot of command ships.

Keep your distance though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keep your distance.

I don't know. Fly casual.

Where is that shuttle going?

Shuttle Tydirium, what is your cargo and destination?

"Parts and technical crew for the forest moon."

Do they have a code clearance?

It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them.

I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come.

It's your imagination, kid.

Come on. Let's keep a little optimism here.

Shall I hold them?

No. Leave them to me.

I will deal with them myself.

As you wish, my Lord. Carry on.

They're not goin' for it, Chewie.

Shuttle Tydirium,

deactivation of the shield will commence immediately. Follow your present course.

Okay! I told you it was gonna work. No problem.

You may not enter.

It's the Emperofs command!

We all have our priorities.

Hold you to remain on the command ship.

A small Rebel force has penetrated the shield and landed on Endor.

Yes, I know.

And I'm sure Skywalker is with them.

Then you must go to the Sanctuary Moon and wait for him.

He will come to me?

He will come to you and then you will bring him before me.

As you wish.

What, Chewie?

Hey, I don't get it.

It's just a dead animal, Chewie.

Chewie, wait! Don't!

Nice work.

Great, Chewie!

Great, Always thinking with your stomach.

Will you take it easy? Let's just figure out a way to get out of this thing.

- Han, can you reach my Iightsaber? - Yeah, sure.

R2, I'm not sure that's such a good idea. It's a very long dro-o-op!!

They look horrible...

Point that thing someplace else.

Han, don't. It'll be all right.

Chewie, give 'em your crossbow.

Oh, my head.

Oh, my goodness!

Do you understand anything they're saying?

I could be mistaken. They're using a very primitive dialect.

But I do believe they think I am some sort of god.

Well, why don't you use your divine influence and gel us oul of this?

Wonderful! We are now a part of the tribe.

Just what I always wanted.

Short help is better than no help at all, Chewie.

Luke, what's wrong?

Leia.

Do you remember your mother? Your real mother?

Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.

What do you remember?

Just...images, really. Feelings.

Tell me.

She was very beautiful. Kind, but...sad.

Why are you asking me this?

I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her.

Luke, tell me. What's troubling you?

Vader is heremnow, on this moon.

- How do you know? - I felt his presence.

He's come for me. He can feel when I'm near.

That's why I have to go.

As long as I stay, I'm endangering the group and our mission here.

I have to face him.

No!

Luke, run away, far away.

If he can feel your presence, then leave this place.

- I wish I could go with you. - No, you don't.

I have to try.

Hey, what's goin' on?

Nothing...

Hold me.

This is a Rebel that surrendered to us.

Although he denies it, I believe there maybe more of them,

and I request permission to conduct a further search of the area.

He was armed only with this.

- Leave us. - Yes, my Lord.

The Emperor has been expecting you.

I will not turn... and you'll be forced to kill me.

If that is your destiny.

The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force.

He is your master now.

The main entrance to the control bunkefs on the far side of that landing platform.

- This isn't gonna be easy. - Hey, don't worry.

Chewie and me got into a lot of places more heavily guarded than this.

What's he saying?

He says there's a secret entrance on the other side of the ridge.

Admiral, we're in position. All fighters accounted for.

Proceed with the countdown. All groups assume attack coordinates.

Don't worry, my friends are down there.

They'll have that shield down on time...

or this'll be the shortest offensive of all time.

All craft, prepare to jump to hyperspace on my mark.

All right. Stand by.

Welcome, young Skywalker. I have been expecting you.

You no longer need those.

Guards, leave us.

I'm looking forward to completing your training.

You're gravely mistaken.

Oh, no, my young Jedi.

You will find that it is you who are mistaken... about a great many things.

- His lightsaber. - Ah, yes.

I-\ Jedi's weapon. Much like yourfathefs.

He could save others from death, but not himself.

Soon I'll be dead... and you with me.

Perhaps you refer to the imminent attack of your Rebel fleet.

Yes...l assure you we are quite safe from your friends here.

- Your oyerconfidence is your weakness. - Your faith in your friends is yours.

Ii is pointless to resist.

Back door, huh? Good idea.

It's only a few guards. This shouldn't be too much trouble.

- I only takes one to sound the alarm. - Then we'll do it real quiet-like.

- Oh, my. Princess Leia! - Quiet.

I'm afraid our furry companion has gone and done something rather rash.

Oh, no.

There goes our surprise attack.

Look! Over there! Stop him!

Not bad for a little lurball. There's only one left.

You stay here. We'll take care of this.

I have decided that we shall stay here.

Blast them!

Come on!

Chewie!

All right!

Up! Move! Come on! Quickly! Quickly, Chewie.

Han! Hurry! The fleet will be here any moment.

Charges! Come on!

Freeze!

All wings report in.

Red Leader standing by.

Gray Leader standing by.

Green Leader standing by.

Lock S-foils in attack positions.

May the Force be with us.

We've got to be able to get some kind of a reading on that shield, up or down.

How could they be jamming us if they don't know... if we're coming.

Break off the attack! The shield is still up.

I get no reading. Are you sure?

Pull up! All craft pull up!

Take evasive action!

Green Group, stick close to holding sector MV-7.

It's a trap!

That blast came from the Death Star!

That thing's operational!

Fighters, coming in!

Come, boy. See for yourself.

From here you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance,

and the end of your insignificant Rebellion.

You want this, don't you?

The hate is swelling in you now.

Take your Jedi weapon. Use it.

I am unarmed.

Strike me down with ii. Give in to your anger.

With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.

Good... I can feel your anger.

I am defenseless.

Take your weapon. Strike me down with all your hatred,

and yourjourney towards the dark side will be complete.

All too easy...

You are unwise to lower your defenses.

Watch out. Squad at .06.

I'm on it, Gold Leader.

Good shot, Red Two.

Nowmcome on, Han, old buddy. Don't let medown.

Throw me another charge.

You cannot hide forever, Luke.

Give yourself to the dark side.

It is the only way you can save yourfriends.

Yes... Your thoughts betray you.

Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for...

Sister...

So...you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too.

Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me.

Now his failure is complete.

If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will.

Never!!!

Move! Move!

Sir... the deflector shield is down.

And we've lost contact with the generating station.

Position the station to blow up the moon.

- Commence rotation of main batteries - Sir.

We're on our way. Red Group, Gold Group, all fighters follow me.

Good!

Your hate has made you powerful.

Now, fulfill your destiny,

and take Lord Vadefs place at my side!

No.

Noun...

Sir. The rebel fleet is moving to the unfinished portion of the station.

Concentrate all fire power on that sector.

I'm going in.

Here goes nothing.

Now lock onto the strongest power source. It should be the power generator.

Form up. And stay alert. We could run out of space real fast.

Split up and head back to the surface.

See if you can get a few of those TIE fighters to follow you.

Copy, Gold Leader.

That was too close.

There it is!

All right, Wedge. Go for the power regulator on the north tower.

Copy, Gold Leader. I'm already on my way out.

Point 0.5 to moon target.

Point 0.3 to moon target.

Point 0.2 to moon target.

Moon target in range!

Sir, moon target in range, now!

Commence firing.

Fire.

We won!

They did it!

I'm sure Luke wasn't on that thing when it blew.

He wasn't. I can feel it.

You love him.

Don't you?

Yes.

All right. I understand.

Fine.

When he comes back, I won't get in the way.

It's not like that at all.
