🥱

Darth Vader Luke... help me take this mask off.

Luke But you'll die.

Darth Vader Nothing... can stop that now. Just for once... let me... look on you with my *own* eyes.

[Luke takes off Darth Vader's mask one piece at a time. Underneath, Luke sees the face of a pale, scarred, bald-headed, old man - his father, Anakin. Anakin sadly looks at Luke but then gives a tired smile]

Anakin Now... go, my son. Leave me.

Luke No. You're coming with me. I'll not leave you here, I've got to save you.

Anakin You already... have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister... you were right.

[Anakin smiles and his eyes begin to droop slumps down in death while giving one last dying breath]

Luke Father... I won't leave you.

🧡

🥱

Han Solo Together again, huh?

Luke Wouldn't miss it.

Han Solo How we doin'?

Han Solo That bad, huh?

🥱

[Han and Chewbacca are reunited]

Han Solo Chewie? Chewie, is that you?

[Chewie grabs Han and shakes him]

Han Solo Ch-Chewie! I can't see, pal. What's going on?

[Chewie barks]

Han Solo Luke? Luke's crazy! He can't even take care of himself, much less rescue anybody.

[Chewie barks again]

Han Solo A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke Your thoughts betray you, Father. I feel the good in you, the conflict.

Darth 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.

Darth Vader You underestimate the power of the Dark Side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Yoda Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke... Luke... do not... do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will. Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned, Luke. There is... another... Sky... walker.

[Yoda dies]

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Yoda That face you make... look I so old to young eyes?

Luke No. Of course not.

Yoda I do. Yes, I do. Sick have I become, old and weak... When nine hundred years old *you* reach, look as good *you* will not, hmm?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Han Solo Who are you?

Princess Leia Someone who loves you.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

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 [angry] So be it... Jedi!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

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

Nien Nunb [speaks in Sullustese]

Lando Calrissian But how could they be jamming us if they don't know... if we're coming?

[over comlink]

Lando Calrissian Break off the attack! The shield is still up!

Wedge Antilles I get no reading. Are you sure?

Lando Calrissian Pull up! All craft, pull up!

Admiral Ackbar Take evasive action! Green group, stick close to holding section MV-7!

Mon Calamari Admiral! We have enemy ships in sector 47!

Admiral Ackbar It's a trap!

🧡

🥱

Luke Skywalker [approaching R2-D2] I can't do it, R2. I can't go on alone.

Obi-Wan [from out of sight] Yoda and I will always be with you.

Luke Skywalker Obi-Wan.

[Obi-Wan's spirit approaches Luke]

Luke Skywalker Ben! Why didn't you tell me? You told me that Darth Vader betrayed and murdered my father.

Obi-Wan Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and "became" the Sith Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So, what I told you was true... from a certain point of view.

Luke Skywalker A certain point of view?

Obi-Wan 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 met him, your father was already a great pilot. But I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought that I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong.

Luke Skywalker There is still good in him.

Obi-Wan He's more machine now than man. Twisted and evil.

Luke Skywalker I can't do it, Ben.

Obi-Wan You cannot escape your destiny. You must face Darth Vader again.

Luke Skywalker I can't kill my own father.

Obi-Wan Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope.

Luke Skywalker Yoda spoke of another.

Obi-Wan The other he spoke of is your twin sister.

Luke Skywalker But I have no sister.

Obi-Wan Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous.

Luke Skywalker Leia! Leia is my sister.

Obi-Wan Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down, Luke. They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Emperor.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke Master Yoda, you can't die.

Yoda Strong am I with the Force, but not that strong.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

[last lines]

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

Princess Leia He wasn't. I can feel it.

Han Solo You love him,

[pause]

Han Solo don't you?

Princess Leia Yes.

Han Solo All right. I understand. Fine. When he comes back, I won't get in the way.

Princess Leia Oh, Han, it's not like that at all.

[whispering]

Princess Leia He's my brother.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Han Solo I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur.

Luke There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know.

Han Solo You're going to die here, you know. Convenient.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Darth Vader You cannot hide forever, Luke.

Luke Skywalker I will not fight you.

Darth 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... 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 Skywalker [igniting light saber, screams] NEVER!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

C-3PO I'm rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears that you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honor.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Stormtrooper Don't move!

[Han glances nervously at Leia... who subtly reveals the blaster hidden at her side]

Han Solo I love you.

Princess Leia [smiles] I know.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

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

The Emperor [laughing] Perhaps you refer to the imminent attack of your rebel fleet? Yes, I assure you, we are quite safe from your friends here.

Luke Your overconfidence is your weakness.

The Emperor Your faith in your friends is yours!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mon Mothma Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke Skywalker [1:25:15] Search your feelings, Father, you can't do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate.

Darth Vader It is too late for me, son. The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force. He is your master now.

Luke Skywalker Then my father is truly dead.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Darth Vader [1:23:43] The Emperor has been expecting you.

Luke I know... father.

Darth Vader So, you have accepted the truth?

Luke I have accepted that you were once a Jedi named Anakin Skywalker, my father.

Darth Vader [angrily] That name no longer has any meaning for me!

Luke It is name of your true self, you've only forgotten.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

C-3PO [Ewoks bowing before C-3PO] I do believe they think I am some sort of god.

Han Solo Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this?

C-3PO I beg your pardon General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper.

Han Solo Proper?

C-3PO It's against my programming to impersonate a deity.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke Master Yoda... is Darth Vader my father?

Yoda [avoiding the subject] Rest I need. Yes. Rest.

Luke Yoda, I must know. If you know, tell me.

Yoda Your father he is.

[pause]

Yoda Told you, did he?

Luke Yes.

Yoda Unexpected this is. And unfortunate.

Luke Unfortunate that I know the truth?

Yoda No! Unfortunate that you rushed to face him... that incomplete was your training. That... not ready for the burden were you.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

C-3PO His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately.

Han Solo Good, I hate long waits.

C-3PO You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea, and cast into the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlaac.

Han Solo Doesn't sound so bad.

C-3PO In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.

Han Solo On second thought, let's pass on that, huh?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke Vader's on that ship.

Han Solo 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 keeping your distance.

[Chewie barks a question]

Han Solo *I* don't know. Fly casual.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Han Solo Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where?

[Han turns around and knocks Boba into the Sarlaac pit]

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Emperor [1:35:32] Come, boy, see for yourself. From here, you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance and the end of your insignificant rebellion.

[Luke's eyes go to his lightsabre]

The 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.

Luke No.

The Emperor It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father, are now *mine*.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

EV-9D9 Ah, new acquisitions! You are a protocol droid, are you not?

C-3PO I am C-3PO, human/cyborg...

EV-9D9 [cuts him off] Yes or no will do.

C-3PO Umm... yes.

EV-9D9 How many languages do you speak?

C-3PO I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily...

EV-9D9 [cuts him off again] Splendid! We have been without an interpreter since our master got angry with our last protocol droid and disintegrated him.

C-3PO Disintegrated?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke I will not fight you, father.

Darth Vader You are unwise to lower your defenses!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance.

Princess Leia Luke, don't talk that way. You have a power I don't understand and could never have.

Luke You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And... my sister has it. Yes. It's you, Leia.

Princess Leia I know. Somehow, I've always known.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Moff Jerjerrod [3:56] Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence...

Darth Vader You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule.

Moff Jerjerrod I assure you, Lord Vader. My men are working as fast as they can.

Darth Vader Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.

Moff Jerjerrod I tell you, this station will be operational as planned.

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

Moff Jerjerrod But he asks the impossible. I need more men.

Darth Vader Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.

Moff Jerjerrod [aghast] The Emperor's coming here?

Darth Vader That is correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.

Moff Jerjerrod We shall double our efforts.

Darth Vader I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

C-3PO At last, Master Luke's come to rescue me!

Bib Fortuna Master.

[Jabba wakes up with a start]

Bib Fortuna May I present Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight?

Jabba the Hutt [in Huttese; subtitled] I told you not to admit him!

Luke I must be allowed to speak.

Bib Fortuna He must be allowed to speak.

Jabba the Hutt [grabs Bib Fortuna; in Huttese] You weak minded fool! He's using an old Jedi mind trick.

[Jabba shoves Bib Fortuna aside]

Luke You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me.

[Jabba laughs]

Jabba the Hutt [in Huttese] Your mind powers will not work on me, boy.

Luke Nevertheless, I'm taking Captain Solo and his friends with me. You can either profit by this or be destroyed. It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers.

Jabba the Hutt [in Huttese] There will be no bargain, my young Jedi. I shall enjoy watching you die.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Princess Leia Luke, tell me. What's troubling you?

Luke Vader's here. Now, on this moon.

Princess Leia How do you know?

Luke I felt his presence. He's come for me. He can feel it 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.

Princess Leia Why?

Luke [pause] He's my father.

[from the Blu-ray version, as Vader watches Luke being destroyed by the Emperor's Force lightning]

Darth Vader No.

[Vader turns to the Emperor]

Darth Vader NOOOOOOOOOO!

[Vader lifts the Emperor over his head, leading the Emperor to scream in shock as his force lightning shoots upward onto Vader, who throws the screaming Emperor into the abyss of the throne room and the Emperor hits the core of the shaft, causing an explosion, then Luke pulls his weakened father to safety]

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Princess Leia Luke, what's wrong?

Luke Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother?

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

Luke What do you remember?

Princess Leia Just... images really. Feelings.

Luke Tell me.

Princess Leia She was... very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why are you asking me this?

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

Darth Vader Do they have a code clearance?

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

🥱

Lando Calrissian [after seeing the Death Star is operational] Home One, this is Gold Leader.

Admiral Ackbar We saw it. All craft, prepare to retreat.

Lando Calrissian We won't get another chance at this, Admiral.

Admiral Ackbar We have no choice, General Calrissian! Our cruisers can't repel firepower of that magnitude!

Lando Calrissian Han will have that shield down. We've got to give him more time!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke Threepio, tell them if they don't do as you wish, you'll become angry and use your magic.

C-3PO But, Master Luke, what magic? I couldn't possibly...

Luke Just tell them.

[about to be cooked alive by the Ewoks]

Han Solo I have a really bad feeling about this.

Han Solo 3PO. You tell that slimy piece of worm-ridden filth, he'll get no such pleasure from us.

[to Chewbacca]

Han Solo Right?

Title card/crawl Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine in an attempt to rescue his friend Han Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt.

The Emperor If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed!

Yoda [41:32] No more training do you require. Already know you, that which you need.

Luke Then I am a Jedi.

Yoda No. Not yet. One thing remains. Vader. You must confront Vader. Then, only then, a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will.

🧡

Princess Leia It only takes one to sound the alarm.

Han Solo Then we'll do it real quiet-like.

Lando Calrissian Here goes nothing.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

[Referring to Vader]

Princess Leia But, why must you confront him?

Luke Because, there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try.

🧡

[igniting Luke's saber]

Darth Vader I see you have constructed a new light saber. Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen.

The Emperor [In the throne room, Luke is watching the Imperial fleet attack the Rebels from the huge throne room window] As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!

[the Emperor hits the comlink switch on his throne]

The Emperor Fire at will, Commander!

Moff Jerjerrod [In the Death Star's firing room, a group of hooded Imperial gunners starts priming the Death Star's superlaser - a device so advanced it can be trained on capital ships, such as the Rebel aircraft carriers. A series of tones signify that the weapon is ready] Fire!

[a second gunner hits a switch, and a huge laser beam roars down a firing shaft. The outer surface of the Death Star shows a huge laser dish start to develop, and then a titanic laser beam moves out from the Death Star's superlaser. It hits the Rebel Calamari Cruiser 'Liberty' and vaporizes the huge carrier in less than a second]

Han Solo [flying across the deserts of Tatooine] I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Han Solo Well, look at you! A General, huh?

Lando Calrissian Someone must have told them all about my little maneuver at the Battle of Taanab.

Han Solo Well, don't look at me, pal. I just said you were a fair pilot. I didn't know they were looking for somebody to lead this crazy attack.

Lando Calrissian I'm surprised they didn't ask you to do it.

Han Solo Well, who says they didn't? Only I ain't crazy.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke I'll meet you back at the fleet.

Princess Leia Hurry. The Alliance should be assembled by now.

C-3PO He says the scouts are going to show us the quickest way to the shield generator.

Han Solo Good. How far is it? Ask him.

[3PO turns to ask, Han pulls him back]

Han Solo We need some fresh supplies too.

Han Solo Try and get our weapons back.

Lando Calrissian [to Nien Nunb] Don't worry, my friend's down there. He'll have that shield down in time.

[to himself]

Lando Calrissian Or this'll be the shortest offensive of all time.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

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.

C-3PO It sounds dangerous.

Princess Leia [to Han] Who have they found to pull that off?

General Madine General Solo, is your strike team assembled?

🥱

Jabba the Hutt [speaking Huttese; subtitled] This bounty hunter is my kind of scum: fearless and inventive.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

The Emperor Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Your friends, up there on the sanctuary moon, 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. Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive.

🧡

👏

🥺

🥱

Stardestroyer Controller #1 Sir! We've lost our bridge deflector shield!

Darth Vader A small rebel force has penetrated the shield and landed on Endor.

The Emperor Yes, I know.

Darth Vader My son is with them.

The Emperor Are you sure?

Darth Vader I have *felt* him, my master.

The Emperor Strange that I have not. I wonder if your feelings on this matter are clear, Lord Vader.

Darth Vader They are clear, my master.

[Aboard the Death Star, The Emperor's shuttle is greeted by hundreds of Imperial troops and officers. As the last of six red-robed Royal Guards exit the shuttle, both Darth Vader and Moff Jerjerrod kneel in reverence at the foot of the boarding ramp as the Emperor himself emerges]

The Emperor Rise, my friend.

Darth Vader The Death Star will be completed on schedule.

The Emperor You've done well, Lord Vader. And now I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker.

Darth Vader Yes, my Master.

The Emperor 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.

Darth Vader As you wish.

The Emperor Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

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

Han Solo It's your imagination, kid. Come on. Let's keep a little optimism here.

🧡

🥱

Princess Leia [Leia has been captured by Jabba] We have powerful friends. You're going to regret this.

🥺

🤔

🥱

Lando Calrissian Yes, I said *closer*! Move as close as you can, and engage those Star Destroyers at point blank range!

Admiral Ackbar At that close range we won't last long against those Star Destroyers!

Lando Calrissian We'll last longer than we will against that Death Star! And we might just take a few of them with us!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Luke [1:24:49] Come with me. Leave everything behind.

Darth Vader Obi-Wan once thought as you do. You don't know the power of the Dark Side. I must obey my master.

🥱

C-3PO [to R2D2] If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short circuit.

🥱

The Emperor Your hate has made you powerful. Now fulfill your destiny, take your father's place by my side.

Princess Leia But these are my friends. 3PO, tell them they must be set free.

[C-3PO speaks with the Ewoks, they listen and shake their heads negatively]

Han Solo Somehow I got the feeling that didn't work very much.

EV-9D9 Ah, good! New acquisitions. You are a protocol droid, are you not?

C-3PO I am C-3PO, Human...

EV-9D9 Yes or no will do.

C-3PO Oh. Well, yes.

Yoda Soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have.

Luke Master Yoda, you can't die.

Yoda Ah, strong am I with the Force, but not that strong. Twilight is upon me, and soon, night must fall. That is the way of things. The way of the Force.

🧡

🥱

The Emperor 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 Oh no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things.

Admiral Ackbar You can see here, the Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor. Although the weapon systems on this Death Star or 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 projector shows the Death Star and the yellow lights indicating the shield]

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

[the projector enlarges the Death Star image]

Admiral Ackbar Once the shield is down, our cruisers will create a perimeter, while our fighters fly into the superstructure and attempt to knock out the main reactor.

[Vader brings Luke before the Emperor and hands him Luke's weapon]

Darth Vader His light saber.

The Emperor [to Luke] Ah, yes. A Jedi's weapon, much like your father's. By now you must know that your father can never be turned from the Dark Side. So will it be with you.

Lando Calrissian That blast came from the Death Star! That thing's operational!

Darth Vader [1:07:25] He will come to me?

The Emperor I have foreseen it. His compassion for you will be his undoing. He will come to you and then you will bring him before me.

Darth Vader As you wish.

Lando Calrissian That was too close.

Admiral Piett Shall I hold them?

Darth Vader No. Leave them to me. I will deal with them myself.

[Boushh, a bounty hunter, has just freed Han from the carbonite slab]

Boushh Just relax for a moment. You're free of the carbonite. Shh. You have hibernation sickness.

Han Solo [shaking] I can't see.

Boushh Your eyesight will return in time.

Han Solo Where am I?

Boushh Jabba's palace.

Han Solo Who are you?

[Boushh reaches up and lifts the helmet from his head, revealing the beautiful face of Princess Leia]

Princess Leia Someone who loves you.

Han Solo Leia!

Princess Leia [deleted scene; Jabba the Hutt's landspeeder has blown up, causing a sandstorm as Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2 head toward the Millennium Falcon]

[to Han]

Princess Leia How is it?

Han Solo I don't know. All I see is blowing sand!

Princess Leia That's all any of us can see.

Han Solo I guess I'm getting better then.

[as the rest get on the Millennium Falcon, Luke walks over to Han and Leia]

Luke I'll see you back at the fleet.

Han Solo Why don't you leave that crate and come with us? We're faster.

Luke [shakes head] I have a promise to keep... to an old friend.

[kisses Leia, who gets on board, and starts to leave]

Han Solo Hey kid!

[walks over to Luke]

Han Solo Thanks for coming after me.

Luke Think nothing of it.

Han Solo I'm thinking... I owe you one.

[shakes Luke's hand, who one again leaves, puts his glove on his new hand, and gets in his X-Wing and takes off]

Luke [cut to a scene in space where Luke and the Millennium Falcon go separate ways]

[over the comm]

Luke Meet you back at the fleet.

Princess Leia Hurry. The Alliance should be assembled by now.

Luke I will.

Darth Vader [deleted scene; Darth Vader and Moff Jerjerrod talk] Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.

Moff Jerjerrod I tell you, this station will be operational as planned.

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

Moff Jerjerrod But he asks the impossible.

[gravely]

Moff Jerjerrod I need more men.

Darth Vader Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.

Moff Jerjerrod [scared] The Emperor's coming here?

Darth Vader That is correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.

Moff Jerjerrod We shall double our efforts.

Darth Vader I hope so, Commander, for your sake.

[Jerjerrod gulps]

Darth Vader The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

[he and Jerjerrod walk away. Vader goes to his room and seats himself, communicating to Luke using the Force]

Darth Vader Luke... Luke... Join me and the Dark Side of the Force... my son, it is the only way... Luke... Luke...

[cut to Tatooine, where Luke constructs his new lightsaber and tests it out. R2-D2 beeps something as C-3PO talks to himself]

C-3PO What a forsaken place this is! Why couldn't that bounty hunter have taken Captain Solo to a more... pleasant environment?

[R2-D2 comes out of the small cave and beeps something]

C-3PO We're leaving? But, what about Master Luke?

[R2 beeps again]

C-3PO I thought he was going to rescue Captain Solo?

[R2 beeps and starts rolling away]

C-3PO You mean, we're going to that horrible fortress alone?

[follows after R2, who beeps again]

C-3PO We're doomed.

[cut to another scene where R2 and 3PO are making their way toward Jabba's Palace]

C-3PO [R2 beeps a question] Of course I'm frightened, and you should be, too. Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never return from this awful place.

[R2 beeps]

C-3PO Don't be so sure. If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short-circuit.

[R2 sounds scared]

Admiral Piett I have my orders from the Emperor himself. He has something special planned for them. We only need to keep them from escaping.

Darth Vader What is thy bidding, my master?

The Emperor Send the fleet to the far side of Endor. There it will stay until called for.

Darth Vader What of the reports of the rebel fleet massing near Sullust?

The Emperor It is of no concern. Soon the Rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us. Your work here is finished, my friend. Go out to the command ship and await my orders.

Darth Vader Yes, my master.

Yoda [Deleted Scene - A dying Yoda confesses to Luke about the truth about Darth Vader] Unfortunate that you must rush to face him. And in complete of your training. That no ready the burden with you. Obi-Wan would had told you long ago if I had let him. Now, a great weakness you carry. Fear for you, I do. Face Vader you must and "sorry" will not help.

Luke Skywalker I can't do it, R2. I can't go on alone.

Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi [off-screen] Yoda will always be with you.

Luke Skywalker Obi-Wan.

[Obi-Wan's spirit approaches Luke and R2 from the swampy forest]

Luke Skywalker Why didn't you tell me? You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father.

Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi Your father... was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.

Luke Skywalker A certain point of view?

Luke Skywalker I can't do it, Ben.

Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi You cannot escape your destiny. You must face Darth Vader again.

Luke Skywalker I can't kill my own father.

Han Solo Luke!

Han Solo Where's Leia?

Luke Skywalker What? She didn't come back?

Han Solo [sternly] I thought she was with you.

Luke Skywalker We got seperated. We better go look for her.

Han Solo [to a Rebel] Take the squad ahead. We'll meet at the shield generator at 0300.

Luke Skywalker Come on, R2. We'll need your scanners.

[they head off into the forest; the Rebels go the other way]

C-3PO Don't worry, Master Luke! We know what to do!
