![]() I think he's searching for his former master, but I've never seen such devotion in a droid before. Tell me, young Luke, what brings you out this far? The Jundland Wastes are not to be traveled lightly. You're fortunate to be all in one piece.īen? Ben Kenobi? Boy, am I glad to see you. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station. Well, the Empire doesn't consider a small one-man fighter to be any threat, or they'd have a tighter defense. Pardon me for asking, sir, but what good are snub fighters going to be against that? A small one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense. Its defenses are designed around a direct, large-scale assault. The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet. In the morning, I want them up there on the south ridge working on those condensers. Your only concern is to prepare those new droids for tomorrow. He died about the same time as your father. It belongs to us now.īut what if this Obi-Wan comes here looking for him? Now, tomorrow I want you to take that R2 unit to Anchorhead and have its memory erased. You stay away from him, you hear me? He's dangerous. He says that he belongs to someone called Obi-Wan Kenobi. Well, I stumbled across a recording while I was cleaning him. You know, I think that R2 unit we bought may have been stolen. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan. In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that'll be destroyed first. Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now. Princess Leia, before your execution, I would like you to be my guest at a ceremony that'll make this battle station operational. I'm surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. You don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your life. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.Ĭharming to the last. Governor Tarkin! I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash. We will then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke! This bickering is pointless! Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the Rebel fortress by the time this station is operational. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebels' hidden fort. The ability to destroy a planet, or even a whole system, is insignificant next to the power of the Force.ĭon't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!ĭon't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.Īny attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. It's all such a long way from here.Īnd what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical reading of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness and exploit it. It's not that I like the Empire I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it right now. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. You must learn the ways of the Force, if you're to come with me to Alderaan.Īlderaan? I'm not going to Alderaan, I've gotta get *home*, it's late, I'm in for it as it is! You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars.
