90 INT DEATH STAR - EMPEROR'S THRONE ROOM
90
The elevator opens. Vader and Luke enter the room alone. They
walk across the dark space to stand before the throne, father and
son side by side beneath the gaze of the Emperor. Vader bows to
his Master.
EMPEROR
Welcome, young Skywalker. I have been
expecting you.
Luke peers at the hooded figure defiantly. The Emperor then looks
down at Luke's binders.
EMPEROR
You no longer need those.
The Emperor motions ever so slightly with his finger and Luke's
binders fall away, clattering to the floor. Luke looks down at
his own hands, free now to reach out and grab the Emperor's neck.
He does nothing.
EMPEROR
Guards, leave us.
The red-cloaked guards turn and disappear behind the elevator.
EMPEROR (to Luke)
I'm looking forward to completing your
training. In time you will call me Master.
LUKE
You're gravely mistaken. You won't convert me
as you did my father.
The Emperor gets down from his throne and walks up very close to
Luke. The Emperor looks into his eyes and, for the first time,
Luke can perceive the evil visage within the hood.
EMPEROR
Oh, no, my young Jedi. You will find that it
is you who are mistaken...about a great
many things.
VADER
His lightsaber.
Vader extends a gloved hand toward the Emperor, revealing Luke's
lightsaber. The Emperor takes it.
EMPEROR
Ah, yes, a Jedi's weapon. Much like your
father's. By now you must know your father
can never be turned from the dark side. So
will it be with you.
LUKE
You're wrong. Soon I'll be dead...and you
with me.
The Emperor laughs.
EMPEROR
Perhaps you refer to the imminent attack of
your Rebel fleet.
Luke looks up sharply.
EMPEROR
Yes...I assure you we are quite safe from
your friends here.
Vader looks at Luke.
LUKE
Your overconfidence is your weakness.
EMPEROR
Your faith in your friends is yours.
VADER
It is pointless to resist, my son.
The Emperor turns to face Luke.
EMPEROR (angry)
Everything that has transpired has done so
according to my design. (indicates Endor)
Your friends up there on the Sanctuary
Moon...
Luke reacts. The Emperor notes it.
EMPEROR (cont)
...are walking into a trap. As is your Rebel
fleet! It was I who allowed the Alliance to
know the location of the shield generator. It
is quite safe from your pitiful little band.
An entire legion of my best troops awaits
them.
Luke's look darts from the Emperor to Vader and, finally, to the
sword in the Emperor's hand.
EMPEROR
Oh...I'm afraid the deflector shield will be
quite operational when your friends arrive.
91 INT BUNKER - MAIN CONTROL ROOM
91
Han, Leia, Chewie, and the Rebel strike team storm through a door
and enter the main control room, taking all of the personnel
prisoner.
HAN
All right! Up! Move! Come on! Quickly!
Quickly, Chewie.
The Rebel troops herd the generator controllers away from their
panels. Leia glances at one of the screens on the control panel.
LEIA
Han! Hurry! The fleet will be here any
moment.
HAN
Charges! Come on, come on!
Outside, Threepio watches nervously in the bushes as several more
controllers and stormtroopers run into the bunker, leaving guards
at the door.
THREEPIO (to Wicket)
Oh, my! They'll be captured!
Wicket chatters in Ewok language, and then takes off full steam
into the forest.
THREEPIO
Wa-wait! Wait, come back! Artoo, stay with
me.
Inside the bunker, Han looks up from setting charges as an
Imperial commander enters.
COMMANDER
Freeze! You Rebel scum.
Han and Leia spin, to find dozens of Imperial weapons trained on
them and their cohorts. A poised force of Imperial troops
surround them. Even more pour into the room, roughly disarming
the Rebel contingent. Han, Leia, and Chewie exchange looks.
They're helpless.
92 EXT SPACE - ENDOR, DEATH STAR, REBEL FLEET
92
The Death Star and its Sanctuary Moon hang distant in space as
the Rebel fleet comes out of hyperspace with an awesome roar. The
Millennium Falcon and several Rebel fighters are at the front as
the space armada bears down on its target.
93 INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
93
Lando flips switches, checks his screen, and speaks into the
radio.
LANDO
All wings report in.
WEDGE
Red Leader standing by.
GRAY LEADER
Gray Leader standing by.
GREEN LEADER
Green Leader standing by.
WEDGE
Lock S-foils in attack positions.
94 INT REBEL STAR CRUISER - BRIDGE
94
From the bridge of the Rebel Headquarters Frigate, Admiral Ackbar
watches the fighters massing outside his viewscreen.
ACKBAR
May the Force be with us.
95 INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
95
Lando looks worriedly at his alien copilot, Nien Nunb, who points
to the control panel and talks to Lando.
LANDO
We've got to be able to get some kind of a
reading on that shield, up or down. Well, how
could they be jamming us if they don't know
if we're coming.
Lando shoots a concerned look out at the approaching Death Star
as the implications of what he's just said sink in. He hits a
switch on his comlink.
LANDO
Break off the attack! The shield is still up.
RED LEADER (VO)
I get no reading. Are you sure?
LANDO
Pull up! All craft pull up!
The Falcon turns hard to the left. Out the window the stars and
the Death Star move off right.
96 EXT SPACE - DEATH STAR SHIELD
96
The Falcon and the fighters of Red Squad veer off desperately to
avoid the unseen wall.
97 INT REBEL STAR CRUISER - BRIDGE
97
Alarms are screaming and lights flashing as the huge ship changes
course abruptly. Other ships in the fleet shoot by outside as the
armada tries to halt its forward momentum.
ACKBAR
Take evasive action! Green Group, stick close
to holding sector MV-7.
A Mon Calamari controller turns away from his screen and calls
out to Ackbar, quite excited. The Admiral rushes over to the
controller.
CONTROLLER
Admiral, we have enemy ships in sector 47.
On the screen can be seen the moon, Death Star, and the massive
Imperial fleet. Ackbar moves to the comlink.
ACKBAR
It's a trap!
LANDO (over comlink)
Fighters coming in.
There is much excitement on the bridge as the attack begins.
The Millennium Falcon and several squads of Rebel fighters head
into an armada of TIE fighters. The sky explodes as a fierce
dogfight ensues in and around the giant Rebel cruisers.
REBEL PILOT
There's too many of them!
LANDO
Accelerate to attack speed! Draw their fire
away from the cruisers.
WEDGE
Copy, Gold Leader.
The battle continues around the giant cruisers.
98 INT DEATH STAR - EMPEROR'S THRONE ROOM
98
Through the round window behind the Emperor's throne can be seen
the distant flashes of the space battle in progress.
EMPEROR
Come, boy. See for yourself.
The Emperor is sitting in his throne, with Vader standing at his
side. Luke moves to look through a small section of the window.
EMPEROR
From here you will witness the final
destruction of the Alliance, and the end of
your insignificant Rebellion.
Luke is in torment. He glances at his lightsaber sitting on the
armrest of the throne. The Emperor watches him and smiles,
touches the lightsaber.
EMPEROR
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 it.
Give in to your anger. With each passing
moment, you make yourself more my servant.
Vader watches Luke in his agony.
LUKE
No!
EMPEROR
It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You,
like your father, are now mine!
99 EXT FOREST - GENERATOR BUNKER
99
Han, Leia, Chewie, and the rest of the strike team are led out of
the bunker by their captors. The surrounding area, deserted
before, is now crowded with two-legged Imperial walkers and
hundreds of Imperial troops. The situation looks hopeless.
STORMTROOPER
All right, move it! I said move it! Go on!
From the undergrowth beyond the clearing comes a wild series of
beeps and whistles. And --
THREEPIO
Hello! I say, over there! Were you looking
for me?
BUNKER COMMANDER
Bring those two down here!
STORMTROOPER
Let's go!
Artoo and Threepio are standing near one of the big trees. As six
Imperial stormtroopers rush over to take them captive, the two
droids duck out of sight behind the tree.
THREEPIO
Well, they're on their way. Artoo, are you
sure this was a good idea?
STORMTROOPER
Freeze! Don't move!
THREEPIO
We surrender.
The stormtroopers come around the tree and find the two droids
waiting quietly to be taken. As the Imperial troops move to do
that, however, a band of Ewoks drops down from above and
overpowers them.
THREEPIO
Ohhh! Stand back, Artoo.
In a nearby tree, an Ewok raises a horn to his lips and sounds
the EWOK ATTACK CALL. All hell breaks loose as hundreds of Ewoks
throw their fuzzy bodies into the fray against the assembled
stormtroopers and their awesome two-legged walkers.
Biker scouts dart about blasting Ewoks, only to be crushed by a
volley of rocks tossed by Ewoks from the trees above.
In the confusion of the battle, Han and Leia break away and dive
for the cover of the bunker door as explosions erupt around them.
Han goes to the bunker door control panel.
LEIA
The code's changed. We need Artoo!
HAN
Here's the terminal.
LEIA (into comlink)
Artoo, where are you? We need you at the
bunker right away.
Artoo and Threepio are hiding behind a log as the battle rages
around them. Suddenly the stubby little astrodroid lets out a
series of whistles and shoots off across the battlefield.
Threepio, panicked, runs after him.
THREEPIO
Going? What do you mean, you're going. But--
but going where, Artoo? No, what! Artoo! Oh,
this is no time for heroics. Come back!
Biker scouts race around and over the two droids, blasting away
at the little Ewoks as the furries scurry for cover.
A group of Ewoks have moved a primitive catapult into position.
They fire off a large boulder that hits one of the walkers. The
walker turns and heads for the catapult, blasting away with both
guns. The Ewoks abandon their weapons and flee in all directions.
Just as the walker moves in to stomp the catapult, Ewoks drop
vines restraining two huge logs that swing down and smash the
walker's head flat.
A line of Ewoks hang desperately to a vine that is hooked to a
walker's foot. As the walker moves along, the fuzzy creatures are
dragged behind.
Two speeder bikes chase Ewoks through the underbrush. As the
scouts round a tree, they are knocked off their bikes by a vine
tied between two trees.
100 EXT SPACE
100
The Falcon and other Rebel fighters are engaged in a ferocious
combat with Imperial TIE fighters, the battle raging around the
cruisers of the Rebel armada.
101 INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
101
Lando is in radio communication with the pilots of the other
Rebel squads.
LANDO
Watch yourself, Wedge! Three from above!
WEDGE
Red Three, Red Two, pull in!
RED TWO
Got it!
RED THREE
Three of them coming in, twenty degrees!
WEDGE
Cut to the left! I'll take the leader!
They're heading for the medical frigate.
Lando steers the Falcon through a complete flip, as his crew
fires at the TIEs from the belly guns.
NAVIGATOR
Pressure's steady.
The copilot Nien Nunb chatters an observation.
LANDO
Only the fighters are attacking. I wonder
what those Star Destroyers are waiting for.
102 EXT SPACE - IMPERIAL FLEET
102
The giant Imperial Star Destroyer waits silently some distance
from the battle. The Emperor's huge Super Star Destroyer rests in
the middle of the fleet.
103 INT SUPER STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE
103
Admiral Piett and two fleet commanders watch the battle at the
huge window of the Super Star Destroyer bridge.
COMMANDER
We're in attack position now, sir.
PIETT
Hold here.
COMMANDER
We're not going to attack?
PIETT
I have my orders from the Emperor himself. He
has something special planned for them. We
only need to keep them from escaping.
104 INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM
104
The Emperor, Vader, and a horrified Luke watch the aerial battle
fireworks out the window and on the viewscreens. Another Rebel
ship explodes against the protective shield.
EMPEROR
As you can see, my young apprentice, your
friends have failed. Now witness the
firepower of this fully armed and operational
battle station. (into comlink) Fire at will,
Commander.
Luke, in shock, looks out across the surface of the Death Star to
the Rebel fleet beyond.
105 INT DEATH STAR - CONTROL ROOM
105
Controllers pull back on several switches. Commander Jerjerrod
stands over them.
JERJERROD
Fire!
106 INT DEATH STAR - BLAST CHAMBER
106
A button is pressed, which switches on a panel of lights.
A hooded Imperial soldier reaches overhead and pulls a lever. A
huge beam of light emanates from a long shaft. Two stormtroopers
stand to one side at a control panel.
107 EXT DEATH STAR
107
The giant laser dish on the completed half of the Death Star
begins to glow; Then a powerful beams shoots out toward the
aerial battle.
108 EXT SPACE - AIR BATTLE
108
The air is thick with giant ships. In among them, Rebel X-wings
dogfight with Imperial TIE fighters. Now an enormous Rebel
cruiser is hit by the Death Star beam and is blown to dust.
The Millennium Falcon roars over CAMERA, followed closely by
several TIE fighters.
109 INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
109
The ship is buffeted by the tremendous explosion of the Rebel
cruiser. Lando and his copilot are stunned by the sight of the
Death Star firepower.
LANDO
That blast came from the Death Star! That
thing's operational! (into comlink) Home One,
this is Gold Leader.
110 INT REBEL STAR CRUISER - BRIDGE
110
Ackbar stands amid the confusion on the wide bridge and speaks
into the comlink.
ACKBAR
We saw it. All craft prepare to retreat.
LANDO
You won't get another chance at this,
Admiral.
ACKBAR
We have no choice, General Calrissian. Our
cruisers can't repel firepower of that
magnitude.
LANDO
Han will have that shield down. We've got to
give him more time.
111 EXT FOREST - GENERATOR BUNKER
111
Artoo and Threepio make it to the door, as Han and Leia provide
cover fire.
THREEPIO
We're coming!
HAN
Come on! Come on!
THREEPIO
Oh, Artoo, hurry!
The little droid moves to the terminal and plugs in his computer
arm. A large explosion hits near Artoo, knocking him head over
heels, finally landing on his feet. The stubby astrodroid's
head is spinning and smoldering. Suddenly there is a loud
SPROOING and Han and Leia turn around to see Artoo with all his
compartment doors open, and all of his appendages sticking out;
water and smoke spurt out of the nozzles in his body. Han rushes
to the terminal, as Threepio rushes to his wounded companion.
THREEPIO
My goodness! Artoo, why did you have to be so
brave?
HAN
Well, I suppose I could hotwire this thing.
LEIA
I'll cover you.
Ewoks in handmade, primitive hanggliders drop rocks onto the
stormtroopers, dive-bombing their deadly adversaries. One is hit
in the wing with laser fire and crashes. A walker lumbers
forward, shooting laser blasts at frantic Ewoks running in all
directions. Two Ewoks are struck down by laser blasts. One
tries to awaken his friend, then realizes that he is dead.
112 EXT SPACE - DEATH STAR
112
The Rebel fleet continues to be picked off, from one side by the
Death Star's deadly beam, from the other by the rampaging
Imperial Star Destroyers.
113 INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
113
Lando steers the Falcon wildly through an obstacle course of
floating giants. He's been yelling into the comlink.
LANDO (desperately)
Yes! I said closer! Move as close as you can
and engage those Star Destroyers at point-
blank range.
ACKBAR
At that close range, we won't last long
against those Star Destroyers.
LANDO
We'll last longer then we will against that
Death Star...and we might just take a few of
them with us.
The Rebel cruisers move very close to the Imperial Star
Destroyers and begin to blast away at point-blank range. Tiny
fighters race across the giant surfaces, against a backdrop of
laser fire.
The control tower of a Star Destroyer is under attack.
REBEL PILOT
She's gonna blow!
Y-WING PILOT
I'm hit!
The damaged Y-wing plummets toward the Star Destroyer, and
crashes into the control tower, exploding.
114 INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM
114
Out of the window and on the view screens, the Rebel fleet is
being decimated in blinding explosions of light and debris. But
in here there is no sound of battle. The Emperor turns to Luke.
EMPEROR
Your fleet has lost. And your friends on the
Endor moon will not survive. There is no
escape, my young apprentice. The Alliance
will die...as will your friends.
Luke's eyes are full of rage. Vader watches him.
EMPEROR
Good. I can feel your anger. I am
defenseless. Take your weapon! Strike me
down with all your hatred, and your journey
towards the dark side will be complete.
Luke can resist no longer. The lightsaber flies into his hand. He
ignites it in an instant and swings at the Emperor. Vader's
lightsaber flashes into view, blocking Luke's blow before it can
reach the Emperor. The two blades spark at contact. Luke turns to
fight his father.
115 EXT FOREST
115
The battle rages on. Stormtroopers fire on Ewoks with
sophisticated weapons while their furry little adversaries sneak
up behind the Imperial troopers and bash them over the head with
large clubs.
A walker marches through the undergrowth blasting Ewoks as it
goes. An Ewok warrior gives the signal, and a pile of logs is cut
loose. The logs tumble under the walker's feet, causing it to
slip and slide until it finally topples over with a great crash.
A scout bike races past and is lassoed with a heavy vine. The
other end of the vine is tied to a tree, and the bike swings
around in ever-tightening circles until it runs out of rope and
crashes into the trees with a huge explosion.
Chewie swings on a vine to the roof of one of the walkers. Two
Ewoks cling to him. They land with a thud on the top of the
lurching machine, then hang on for dear life. One of the Ewoks
peeks through the window.
WALKER PILOT #1
Look!
PILOT #2
Get him off of there!
The walker pilot opens the hatch to see what's going on. He is
yanked out and tossed overboard before he can scream. The two
Ewoks jump into the cockpit and knock the second pilot
unconscious. The Ewoks are thrown violently as the mighty machine
careens out of control. Outside, Chewie is almost knocked
overboard; he sticks his head into the hatch with a series of
angry barks. The Ewoks are too busy and frightened to listen to
the Wookiee's complaint. Chewie slips inside the walker.
Chewbacca's walker moves through the forest, firing laser blasts
at unsuspecting stormtroopers, and destroying other Imperial
walkers. The Ewoks shout and cheer as the giant machine helps
turn the tide of the battle in their favor.
116 EXT FOREST - GENERATOR BUNKER
116
Han works furiously at the control panel; wires spark as he
attempts to hotwire the door. He motions to Leia, who is blasting
away at some stormtroopers.
HAN
I think I got it. I got it!
The three wires spark as the connection is made. With a LOUD
WHOOSH, a second blast door crashes down in front of the first.
Han frowns and turns back to the wires again. Leia exchanges
shots with stormtroopers in the bushes, then suddenly cries out
in pain, her shoulder hit by a laser blast.
THREEPIO
Oh, Princess Leia, are you all right?
HAN
Let's see.
LEIA
It's not bad.
STORMTROOPER (OS)
Freeze!
They freeze.
THREEPIO
Oh, dear.
STORMTROOPER
Don't move!
Leia holds her laser gun ready, behind Han, out of view of the
two stormtroopers moving toward them. Han and Leia's eyes lock;
the moment seems suspended in time.
HAN
I love you.
Another shared look between them, as she smiles up at Han.
LEIA
I know.
STORMTROOPER
Hands up! Stand up!
Han stands up slowly and turns, revealing the gun in Leia's hand.
She disposes of the stormtroopers in a flash. As Han turns back
toward Leia, he looks up to see a giant walker approach and stand
before him, its deadly weapons aimed right at him.
HAN (to Leia)
Stay back.
The hatch on top of the walker opens and Chewie sticks his head
out and barks triumphantly.
HAN
Chewie! Get down here! She's wounded! No,
wait.... I got an idea.
117 INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM
117
Luke and Vader are engaged in a man-to-man duel of lightsabers
even more vicious then the battle on Bespin. But the young Jedi
has grown stronger in the interim, and now the advantage shifts
to him. Vader is forced back, losing his balance, and is knocked
down the stairs. Luke stands at the top of the stairs, ready to
attack.
EMPEROR (laughing)
Good. Use your aggressive feelings, boy! Let
the hate flow through you.
Luke looks momentarily toward the Emperor, then back to Vader,
and realizes he is using the dark side. He steps back, turns off
his lightsaber, and relaxes, driving the hate from his being.
VADER
Obi-Wan has taught you well.
LUKE
I will not fight you, father.
Vader walks back up the stairs to Luke.
VADER
You are unwise to lower your defenses.
Vader attacks, forcing Luke on the defensive. The young Jedi
leaps in an amazing reverse flip up to the safety of the catwalk
overhead. Vader stands below him.
LUKE
Your thoughts betray you, father. I feel the
good in you...the conflict.
VADER
There is no conflict.
LUKE
You couldn't bring yourself to kill me
before, and I don't believe you'll destroy me
now.
VADER
You underestimate the power of the dark side.
If you will not fight, then you will meet
your destiny.
Vader throws the laser sword and it cuts through the supports
holding the catwalk, then returns to Vader's hand. Luke tumbles
to the ground in a shower of sparks and rolls out of sight under
the Emperor's platform. Vader moves to find him.
EMPEROR (laughs)
Good. Good.
118 EXT SPACE - AIR BATTLE
118
The two armadas, like their sea-bound ancestors, blast away at
each other in individual point-blank confrontations. A Star
Destroyer explodes. The Rebel victor limps away, its back half
alive with a series of minor explosions. The Rebel cruiser
manages to move in next to a second Star Destroyer before it
explodes completely, taking the Imperial Star Destroyer with it.
The Falcon and several fighters attack one of the larger Imperial
ships.
LANDO
Watch out. Squad at .06.
REBEL PILOT
I'm on it, Gold Leader.
WEDGE
Good shot, Red Two.
LANDO
Now...come on, Han, old buddy. Don't let me
down.
119 INT BUNKER - CONTROL ROOM
119
Controllers watch the main viewscreen on which a vague figure of
an Imperial walker pilot can be seen. There is a great deal of
static and interference.
HAN/PILOT (VO)
It's over, Commander. The Rebels have been
routed. They're fleeing into the woods. We
need reinforcements to continue the pursuit.
The controllers cheer.
CONTROL ROOM COMMANDER
Send three squads to help. Open the back
door.
SECOND COMMANDER
Yes, sir.
120 EXT FOREST - GENERATOR BUNKER
120
As the door to the bunker opens and the Imperial troops rush out,
they're surprised to find themselves surrounded by Rebels, their
weapons pointed at them. Ewoks holding bows and arrows appear on
the roof of the bunker. The Imperial troops throw down their guns
as Han and Chewie rush inside the bunker with explosive charges.
121 INT BUNKER - CONTROL ROOM
121
Han, Chewie, and several troops rush into the control room and
plant explosive charges on the control panels and rush out.
HAN
Throw me another charge.
122 INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM
122
Vader stalks the low-ceilinged area on the level below the
throne, searching for Luke in the semi-darkness, his lightsaber
held ready.
VADER
You cannot hide forever, Luke.
LUKE
I will not fight you.
VADER
Give yourself to the dark side. It is the
only way you can save your friends. Yes, your
thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them
are strong. Especially for...
Vader stops and senses something. Luke shuts his eyes tightly, in
anguish.
VADER
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.
LUKE
Never-r-r!
Luke ignites his lightsaber and screams in anger, rushing at his
father with a frenzy we have not seen before. Sparks fly as Luke
and Vader fight in the cramped area. Luke's hatred forces Vader
to retreat out of the low area and across a bridge overlooking a
vast elevator shaft. Each stroke of Luke's sword drives his
father further toward defeat.
The Dark Lord is knocked to his knees, and as he raises his sword
to block another onslaught, Luke slashes Vader's right hand off
at the wrist, causing metal and electronic parts to fly from the
mechanical stump. Vader's sword clatters uselessly away, over the
edge of the platform and into the bottomless shaft below. Luke
moves over Vader and holds the blade of his sword to the Dark
Lord's throat. The Emperor watches with uncontrollable, pleased
agitation.
EMPEROR
Good! Your hate has made you powerful. Now,
fulfill your destiny and take your father's
place at my side!
Luke looks at his father's mechanical hand, then to his own
mechanical, black-gloved hand, and realizes how much he is
becoming like his father. He makes the decision for which he
has spent a lifetime in preparation. Luke steps back and hurls
his lightsaber away.
LUKE
Never! I'll never turn to the dark side.
You've failed, Your Highness. I am a Jedi,
like my father before me.
The Emperor's glee turns to rage.
EMPEROR
So be it...Jedi.
123 EXT FOREST - GENERATOR BUNKER
123
Han and several of the fighters run out of the bunker and race
across the clearing.
HAN
Move! Move!
A shock wave knocks them flat as the bunker explodes, followed by
a spectacular display as the huge shield-generator radar dish
explodes along with the bunker.
124 INT REBEL STAR CRUISER - BRIDGE
124
Ackbar, sitting in his control chair, speaks into the radio.
ACKBAR
The shield is down! Commence attack on the
Death Star's main reactor.
LANDO
We're on our way. Red Group, Gold Group, all
fighters follow me. (laughs) Told you they'd
do it!
The Falcon, followed by several smaller Rebel fighters, heads
toward the unfinished superstructure of the Death Star.
125 INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM
125
Luke stands still, as the Emperor reaches the bottom of the
stairs. The Emperor's laughter has turned to anger. He raises his
arms toward Luke.
EMPEROR
If you will not be turned, you will be
destroyed.
Blinding bolts of energy, evil lightning, shoot from the
Emperor's hands at Luke. Even in his surprise, the young Jedi
tries to use the Force to deflect them. At first he is half
successful, but after a moment the bolts of energy are coming
with such speed and power the young Jedi shrinks before them, his
knees buckling. The wounded Vader struggles to his feet, and
moves to stand at his master's side.
EMPEROR
Young fool...only now, at the end, do you
understand.
Luke is almost unconscious beneath the continuing assault of the
Emperor's lightning. He clutches a canister to keep from falling
into the bottomless shaft as the bolts tear through him.
EMPEROR
Your feeble skills are no match for the power
of the dark side. You have paid the price for
your lack of vision.
Luke writhes on the floor in unbearable pain, reaching weakly up
toward where Vader stands watching.
LUKE (groans)
Father, please. Help me.
Again Vader stands, watching Luke. He looks at his master, the
Emperor, then back to Luke on the floor.
EMPEROR
Now, young Skywalker...you will die.
Although it would not have seemed possible, the outpouring of
bolts from the Emperor's fingers actually increases in intensity,
the sound screaming through the room. Luke's body writhes in
pain.
Vader grabs the Emperor from behind, fighting for control of the
robed figure despite the Dark Lord's weakened body and gravely
weakened arm. The Emperor struggles in his embrace, his bolt-
shooting hands now lifted high, away from Luke. Now the white
lightning arcs back to strike at Vader. He stumbles with his load
as the sparks rain off his helmet and flow down over his black
cape. He holds his evil master high over his head and walks to
the edge of the abyss at the central core of the throne room. With
one final burst of his once awesome strength, Darth Vader hurls
the Emperor's body into the bottomless shaft.
The Emperor's body spins helplessly into the void, arcing as it
falls into the abyss. Finally, when the body is far down the
shaft, it explodes, creating a rush of air through the room.
Vader's cape is whipped by the wind and he staggers, and
collapses toward the bottomless hole. Luke crawls to his father's
side and pulls him away from the edge of the abyss to safety.
Both the young Jedi and the giant warrior are too weak to move.
126 EXT/INT - SPACE BATTLE - FIGHTER AND DEATH STAR
126
Rebel fighters follow the Falcon across the surface of the Death
Star to the unfinished portion, where they dive into the super-
structure of the giant battle station, followed by many TIE
fighters.
WEDGE
I'm going in.
LANDO
Here goes nothing.
Three X-wings lead the chase through the ever-narrowing shaft,
followed by the Falcon and four other fighters, plus TIE fighters
who continually fire at the Rebels. Lights reflect off the
pilot's faces as they race through the dark shaft.
LANDO
Now lock onto the strongest power source. It
should be the power generator.
WEDGE
Form up. And stay alert. We could run out of
space real fast.
The fighters and the Falcon race through the tunnel, still
pursued by the TIE fighters. One of the X-wings is hit from
behind and explodes.
LANDO
Split up and head back to the surface. See if
you can get a few of those TIE fighters to
follow you.
PILOT
Copy, Gold Leader.
The Rebel ships peel off pursued by three of the TIE's, while
Lando and Wedge continue through the main tunnel. It narrows, and
the Falcon scrapes the side dangerously. Two other TIE fighters
continue to blast away at them.
LANDO
That was too close.
Nien Nunb agrees. The battle between the Rebel and Imperial fleet
rages on. Several cruisers fire at the giant Super Star
Destroyer.
127 INT REBEL STAR CRUISER - BRIDGE
127
ACKBAR
We've got to give those fighters more time.
Concentrate all fire on that Super Star
Destroyer.
X-wings pilots head across the surface of the huge battleship.
128 INT VADER'S STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE
128
Admiral Piett and a commander stand at the window, looking out to
the battle. They look concerned.
CONTROLLER
Sir, we've lost our bridge deflector shield.
PIETT
Intensify the forward batteries. I don't want
anything to get through.
The commander is looking out of the window where a damaged Rebel
fighter is out of control and heading directly toward the bridge.
PIETT
Intensify forward firepower!
COMMANDER
It's too late!
The Rebel pilot screams as his ship hits the Star Destroyer,
causing a huge explosion. The giant battle ship loses control,
crashes into the Death Star, and explodes.
129 INT REBEL STAR CRUISER - BRIDGE
129
There is excitement on the bridge as the battle rages on all
sides. They cheer as the giant Star Destroyer blows up.
130 INT DEATH STAR - MAIN DOCKING BAY
130
Chaos. For the first time, the Death Star is rocked by explosions
as the Rebel fleet, no longer backed against a wall, zooms over,
unloading a heavy barrage. Imperial troops run in all directions,
confused and desperate to escape.
In the midst of this uproar, Luke is trying to carry the enormous
deadweight of his father's weakening body toward an Imperial
shuttle. Finally, Luke collapses from the strain. The explosions
grow louder as Vader draws him closer.
VADER (a whisper)
Luke, help me take this mask off.
LURE
But you'll die.
VADER
Nothing can stop that now. Just for once...
let me look on you with my own eyes.
Slowly, hesitantly, Luke removes the mask from his father's face.
There beneath the scars is an elderly man. His eyes do not focus.
But the dying man smiles at the sight before him.
ANAKIN (very weak)
Now...go, my son. Leave me.
LUKE
No. You're coming with me. I can't leave you
here. I've got to save you.
ANAKIN
You already have, Luke. You were right about
me. Tell your sister...you were right.
LUKE
Father... I won't leave you.
Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker...Luke's father, dies.
A huge explosion rocks the docking bay. Slowly, Luke rises and,
half carrying, half dragging the body of his father, stumbles
toward a shuttle.
131 EXT DEATH STAR
131
The Millennium Falcon leads a swerving bomb run through the
immense superstructure of the half-built Death Star. The Rebel
Star Cruisers outside continually bombard the huge station. And
each direct hit is answered by resonating, chain-reaction
explosions within the station itself.
132 INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT AND GUN PORTS
132
Lando's crew fires away at the pursuing TIE fighters as the
dashing Baron of Bespin and his alien copilot home in on the main
reactor shaft. It is awesome. A lone X-wing is just in front of
the Falcon.
WEDGE
There it is!
LANDO
All right, Wedge. Go for the power regulator
on the north tower.
WEDGE
Copy, Gold Leader. I'm already on my way out.
The X-wing heads for the top of the huge reactor and fires
several proton torpedoes at the power regulator, causing a series
of small explosions.
The Falcon heads for the main reactor, and when it is dangerously
close, Lando fires the missiles, which shoot out of the Falcon
with a powerful roar, and hit directly at the center of the main
reactor.
He maneuvers the Falcon out of the winding superstructure just
ahead of the continuing chain of explosions.
133 INT REBEL STAR CRUISER - BRIDGE
133
Ackbar and other Mon Calamari lean on the railing of the bridge,
watching the large screen showing the Death Star in the main
briefing room.
ACKBAR
Move the fleet away from the Death Star.
134 EXT DEATH STAR
134
An Imperial shuttle, with Luke alone in the cockpit, rockets out
of the main docking bay as that entire section of the Death Star
is blown away. But as Luke pilots toward the safety of the
Sanctuary moon, his thoughts - enhanced by the Force - turn to
his friends aboard the Millennium Falcon.
The Falcon flies at top speed, with a single X-wing as escort,
over the endless surface of the Death Star. A series of
explosions within the superstructure follow, then swiftly
overtake the small craft as it races for an exit.
135 INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT
135
Lando turns to Nien Nunb and shakes his head.
LANDO (into comlink)
Wedge, I don't think we're going to make it.
WEDGE (VO)
You'll make it. Just follow me Gold Leader.
LANDO (to himself)
I promised to return his ship without a
scratch...I sure hope that old pirate
forgives me.
135A EXT DEATH STAR
135A
An X-wing, piloted by Wedge Antilles, races out of the exploding
superstructure and whizzes toward the Sanctuary Moon. But the
Millennium Falcon is not fast enough as it explodes with the
Death Star in a supernova of glory.
136 EXT ENDOR FOREST
136
Han and Leia, Chewie, the droids, the Rebel troops, and the Ewoks
all look to the sky as the Death Star reveals itself in a final
flash of self-destruction. All except Han cheer, as the thirty-
year-old starship pilot feels a deep personal loss.
HAN (whispering to himself)
Lando...
THREEPIO
(misinterpreting Han's reference)
They did it!
Han looks down from the sky to Leia, a look of sorrow and regret
on his face. He knows he will never see the Falcon and Lando
again. His thoughts turn to Leia, as she continues to look at the
sky, watching for Luke.
137 EXT ENDOR FOREST - NIGHT
137
Luke sets a torch to the logs stacked under a funeral pyre where
his father's body lies, again dressed in black mask and helmet.
He stands, watching sadly, as the flames leap higher to consume
Darth Vader -- Anakin Skywalker.
In the sky above, fireworks explode and Rebel fighters zoom above
the forest.
138 EXT EWOK VILLAGE SQUARE - NIGHT
138
A huge bonfire is the centerpiece of a wild celebration. Rebels
and Ewoks rejoice in the warm glow of firelight, drums beating,
singing, dancing, and laughing in the communal language of
victory and liberation.
Lando runs in and is enthusiastically hugged by Han and Chewie.
Then, finally, Luke arrives and the friends rush to greet and
embrace him. They stand close, this hardy group, taking comfort
in each other's touch, together to the end.
Rebels and Ewoks join together in dancing and celebration. The
original group of adventurers watch from the sidelines. Only Luke
seems distracted, alone in their midsts, his thoughts elsewhere.
He looks off to the side and sees three shimmering, smiling
figures at the edge of the shadows: Ben Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin
Skywalker.
