He says it’s the best he can do. Since the XP-38 came out, they’re just not in demand. It will be enough. If the ship’s as fast as he’s boasting, we ought to do well.
Rendezvous at mark six point one. This is Red Two. Flying toward you. Red Three, standing by. Red Leader, this is Base One. Keep half your group out of range for the next run. Copy, Base One. Luke, take Red Two and Three. Hold up here and wait for my signal…to start your run. This is it! We should be able to see it by now.
Keep your eyes open for those fighters! There’s too much interference! Red Five, can you see them from where you are? No sign of any…wait! Coming in point three five. I see them. I’m in range. Target’s coming up! Just hold them off for a few seconds.

Sir, if you’ll not be needing me, I’ll close down for awhile. Sure, go ahead. What is it? Your fathers lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time. 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. How did my father die? 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. The Force?
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?
Yes. Our scout ships have reached Dantooine.
They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding systems. She lied! She lied to us!
I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion.
Terminate her…immediately!
Several fighters have broken off from the main group. Come with me! Pull in! Luke…pull in! Watch your back, Luke! Watch your back! Fighter’s above you, coming in! I’m hit, but not bad. Artoo, see what you can do with it. Hang on back there. Red Six… Can you see Red Five? There’s a heavy fire zone on this side. Red Five, where are you? I can’t shake him! I’m on him, Luke! Hold on! Blast it! Wedge where are you? Thanks, Wedge. Good shooting, Wedge!
You’re safe! We had feared the worst. When we heard about Alderaan, we were afraid that you were… We don’t have time for our sorrows, Commander. The battle station has surely tracked us here. It’s the only explanation for the ease of our escape. You must use the information in this R2 unit to plan the attack. It is our only hope. Yes. We are approaching the planet Yavin. The Rebel base is on a moon on the far side. We are preparing to orbit the planet.
Yes, sir. I think those new droids are going to work out fine. In fact, I, uh, was also thinking about our agreement about my staying on another season. And if these new droids do work out, I want to transmit my application to the Academy this year. You mean the next semester before harvest? Sure, there’re more than enough droids. Harvest is when I need you the most. Only one more season. This year we’ll make enough on the harvest so I’ll be able to hire some more hands. And then you can go to the Academy next year. You must understand I need you here, Luke. But it’s a whole ‘nother year. Look, it’s only one more season. Yeah, that’s what you said last year when Biggs and Tank left. Where are you going? It looks like I’m going nowhere. I have to finish cleaning those droids.
Is it alright to put part of this on my personal weblog if I post a reference to this webpage?
