I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan What?! Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you.

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!

And, now Your Highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden Rebel base.

Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone. She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There’ll be no one to stop us this time! What!? Alderaan? I’m not going to Alderaan. I’ve got to go home. It’s late, I’m in for it as it is. In my experience, there is no such thing as luck.

Someone was in the pod. The tracks go off in this direction. Look, sir — droids.

It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense. Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed. Leave that to me.

Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed. I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I’m getting too old for this sort of thing. I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I’m getting too old for this sort of thing.

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?

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan Partially, but it also obeys your commands. Oh God, my uncle. How am I ever gonna explain this? What!? A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.

The bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind. Han, we need you! We? Yes. Oh, 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?

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?

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.

Have you been in many battles? Several, I think. Actually, there’s not much to tell. I’m not much more than an interpreter, and not very good at telling stories. Well, not at making them interesting, anyways. Well, my little friend, you’ve got something jammed in here real good.

Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed. 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.

Echo Base, I’ve got something! Not much, but it could be a life form. This is Rouge Two. this is Rouge Two. Captain Solo, so you copy? Commander Skywalker, do you copy? This is Rouge Two. Good morning. Nice of you guys to drop by. Echo Base, this is Rouge Two. I found them. Repeat, I found them. Master Luke, sir, it’s good to see you fully functional again.

I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you. All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that’s what you’re best at, ain’t it? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan

Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going. Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed.

Red Five standing by. The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands. Red Five standing by. I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod.

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?
