EXT. TATOOINE - WASTELANDLuke races across the wasteland in his battered Landspeeder. EXT. TATOOINE - LARS HOMESTEADThe speeder roars up to the homestead. Luke jumps out and runs to the smoking holes that were once his home. Debris is scattered everywhere and it looks as if a great battle has taken place. LUKE: Uncle Owen! Aunt Beru! Uncle Owen! Luke stumbles around in a daze looking for his aunt and uncle. Suddenly he comes upon their smoldering remains. The two were literally burned to death, and are now blackened skeletons before him. He is stunned, and cannot speak. Hate replaces fear and a new resolve comes over him. WIPE TO:EXT. SPACETwo Imperial TIE fighters race toward the Death Star. INT. DEATH STAR - DETENTION CORRIDORTwo stormtroopers open an electronic cell door and allow several Imperial guards to enter. Princess Leia's face is filled with defiance, which slowly gives way to fear as a giant black torture robot enters, followed by Darth Vader. VADER: And now Your Highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden Rebel base. The torture robot gives off a steady beeping sound as it approaches Princess Leia and extends one of its mechanical arms bearing a large hypodermic needle. The door slides shut and the long cellblock hallway appears peaceful. The muffled screams of the Rebel princess are barely heard. INT. DETENTION CELLLeia lies on the ground, curled up, eyes closed. The hypodermic syringe, now empty, is retracted back into the droid as it floats back beside Vader. VADER: (in a low tone) Listen to my voice. Pay attention to my voice. Listen to it…trust it. I am your friend. Leia relaxes, almost seeming asleep. VADER: I am a member of the Rebel Alliance, like you. And we must know what you did with those tapes. LEIA: Tapes… VADER: The Death Star technical plans…what did you do with them? Leia slowly shakes her head, eyes still closed. LEIA: No…no…can’t… VADER: You must. It’s your duty to tell us where those tapes are. LEIA: My duty not to tell… VADER: Not to tell the Empire. But you can tell the Rebel Alliance. We must know where those tapes are, or lives will be lost. LEIA: Lost…? VADER: Yes. Lost. And it will be all your fault. LEIA: No…please…leave me alone… VADER: Your father commands you to tell us! Leia begins shaking, sweating. LEIA: Father..?!? VADER: Yes! Tell me, Leia! Tell me where the plans are! Don’t you wish to please your father? LEIA: Y-yes… VADER: Say the words… LEIA: F-father…. wouldn’t! N-no! Vader’s hands clench into fists. VADER: You are now in great pain…excruciating pain. Leia begins to spasm, gripping her side, groaning. VADER: Your world is nothing but pain. LEIA: Make it stop!! VADER: Tell me what I wish to know. Where are the plans? LEIA: I can’t…can’t tell… VADER: Your skin is on fire. Leia screams. VADER: You’re burning…your flesh is being torn apart. LEIA: MAKE IT STOP!!! PLEASE!!! VADER: When you’ve told me where the Death Star plans are. LEIA: Wo-won’t! VADER: You have only seconds left! Your life is nearly gone, your body in agony! Where are the Death Star plans! Where is the Rebel fortress?? LEIA: (sobbing) I…won’t tell! With a roar, Vader smashes one of his fists into the wall. VADER: YOU MUST!!! Leia is convulsing, strangled gasps coming from her. Tears stream freely down her face. VADER: Stop! You are no longer dying, no longer in pain! Clear your mind! Leia slowly relaxes. VADER: Your mind is a blank. You float without thought or concern. Leia is now completely asleep. Vader opens the door to the cell, and walks to a stormtrooper. VADER: Have a medtech see to the prisoner. Have her fortified so that she can take another round of interrogation. STORMTROOPER: Yes, Lord Vader. Vader looks back at the sleeping Princess on the cell floor. VADER: I shall be back. Soon. The cell door closes. EXT. TATOOINE - WASTELANDThere is a large bonfire of Jawa bodies blazing in front of the sandcrawler as Ben and the robots finish burning the dead. Luke drives up in the speeder and Ben walks over to him as he climbs out. The haunted look on Luke’s face says it all. BEN: There's nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there. You'd have been killed too, and the droids would now be in the hands of the Empire. LUKE: I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing here for me now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father. Ben stares sadly at him for a moment. BEN: I’m sorry your decision had to come like this. I would have rather gone on alone than have this come to pass. But if it’s what you want…I shall do my best to see that you get it. He leads Luke back to the landspeeder. EXT. TATOOINE - WASTELANDThe Landspeeder with Luke, Artoo, Threepio, and Ben in it zooms across the desert. The speeder stops on a bluff overlooking the spaceport at Mos Eisley. It is a haphazard array of low, gray, concrete structures and semi-domes. One can barely see lights coming up and down from the city. A harsh gale blows across the stark canyon floor. Luke adjusts his goggles and walks to the edge of the craggy bluff where Ben is standing. BEN: Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. Ben looks over at Luke, who gives the old Jedi a determined smile. LUKE: I won’t let you down. BEN: If you knew something of the Force, its’ mental disciplines would be of great aid to you now. But we shall have to wait until we’re offworld to begin your training. LUKE: It’s just…Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were… BEN: I understand. But you must set your grief aside for the moment and concentrate on our mission; our chances of success are small enough as it is. When we have reached Alderaan, there will be time for you to let your feelings come forth. WIPE TO: Download 0.73 Mb. Share with your friends:
