No silent prayer for the faith departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
Your gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
Chapter 1: Rescuing the princess
Han Solo was your typical space smuggler. Cocky, hot-headed, a hot-shot, good looking, captain of the Millennium Falcon. His co-pilot was his best friend and right hand man, a wookie named Chewbacca.
They were on the desert star system, Tatoonie, hanging out in the Mos Eisely Spaceport, where all the best pilots hung out.
Han strolled over to a table in the back where Chewie sat with an old man and a kid. He sat down.
"Han Solo, Captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie, here tells me your lookin' for passage to the Alderaan system."
"Yes indeed, if it's a fast ship."
"Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?" Han said sounding offended.
"Should I have?"
"It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less then twelve parsecs. I've outrun Imperial Starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big, Corellian ships no. She's fast enough for you old man. What's the cargo?" Han said.
"Only passengers. Myself, the boy, two droids…no questions asked."
"What is it? Some kind of local trouble?" Han said chuckling.
"Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial entanglements."
"10,000 all in advance." Han said.
"10,000? We can almost buy our own ship for that." Luke whined.
"And whose going to fly it, kid. You?"
"I'm a great pilot."
"We can give you two thousand now and fifteen when we get there."
"17,000? You fellas got yourself a ship. Docking bay 94. We'll leave when your ready."
Millennium Falcon:
Luke, Obi-wan, C3PO, and R2D2 walked towards the ship. Luke looked at it.
"What a piece of junk!" Luke said.
"She'll make point five light speed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself." Storm troopers followed them and started shooting. Luke, Obi-Wan and the droids ran on board closing the door behind him.
"Punch it, Chewie!" They flew towards the Alderaan system. Star destroyers were coming after them. "Stay sharp. There's two more coming in. They're gonna try and cut us off."
"Well, why don't you out run them? I thought you said this thing was fast!" Luke said.
"Watch you mouth, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home. We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyper space. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose 'em!" Han said. "Here's where the fun begins!"
"How long before you can make the jump to light speed?" Obi-Wan said.
"It'll take a few moment to get the coordinates from the navi-computer."
"Are you kidding? At the rate they're gaining?" Luke said.
"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"
Once they were out of danger, Han went back to the living area where Obi-Wan was training Luke. Chewie was playing a game with R2D2.
"Well, you can forget your troubles with those Imperial slugs. I told you I'd out run 'em." Han said. Nobody was listening. "Don't everyone thank me at once."
"Aaaaarrrgh! That's not fair." Chewie growled.
"He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you." C3PO said.
"Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookie." Han said.
"But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid."
"That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that." Han said.
"Grrrf. You tell 'em, cub." Chewie said.
"I see your point sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win." Han chuckled to himself and turned his attention back to Luke, who was fighting against a remote.
"Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living, that's something else." Han said.
"You don't believe in the force, do you?" Luke asked.
"Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe that there's one powerful Force controlling everything. Cause no mystical energy field controls my destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense." Han said. "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid." Han and Chewie went back to the cockpit. There were planet shards all around.
"Where is it?"
"I put in the coordinates. It's not here." Luke noticed the death star.
"What's that? A moon?"
"It's too big to be a moon."
"That's no moon. It's a space station." Ben said. The ship was being pulled in by the tractor beam. The ship landed and they hid in the smuggler's hold until the storm troopers left.
"Boy, it's lucky you have these compartments." Luke said climbing out.
"I use them for smuggling. I never thought I'd be smuggling myself in them. This is ridiculous." Han said. They ran out of the ship dressed as storm troopers.
Detention Area:
Luke and Han marched into the Detention area with Chewie in shackles. Han and Luke were whispering to each other.
"This is not going to work." Han said.
"Why didn't you say so before?"
"I did say so before." Han said.
"Aaaarggh. Give the kid's plan a chance, cub."
"I hear ya Chewie."
"What's going on here?"
"Uh..Prisoner transfer cell block 1158." Luke said.
"I'll have to check." The guard said. Chewie broke free.
"Look out! He's loose!"
"I'll get 'im." Han said killing the guards and cameras. They commandeered the station. Luke went off to find Princess Leia.
"What's going on up there?" Voice over the intercom said.
"Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal." Han said sounding official.
"What happened?" The voice asked.
"Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction but uh…everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?" Han said getting nervous.
"We're sending a squad up." Said the voice.
"Uh, uh…negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous." Han said nervously.
"Who is this? What's your operating number?" said the voice.
"Uh…" Han shoots the intercom. "Boring conversation, anyway, Luke! We're about to have company."
Meanwhile, Luke found the cell he was looking for. He opened the door. Princess Leia stood up and looked at him.
"Aren't you a little short to be a storm trooper?"
"Huh? Oh, the costume." Luke took off the helmet. "I'm Luke Skywalker."
"You're who?"
"I'm here to rescue you." They walked outside the all.
"Luke! We're about to have company!" Han and Chewie joined Luke and Leia in the tunnel.
"Looks like you've managed to cut off or only escape route." Leia said.
"Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, your highness." Han said saracastically.
"This is some rescue. When you came in here, didn't you have a plan forgetting out?" Leia said.
"He's the brains, sweetheart." Han said gesturing towards Luke. Leia grabbed the gun and fired it at the wall.
"What are you doing?"
"Someone has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, fly boy." She gave Luke back his blaster and dove into the hole.
"Aaaarrgh. I smell something bad, cub."
"Get in there you big, furry, oaf! I don't care what you smell." He pushed Chewie down the hole after Leia. Then he jumped in after Luke. They got to their feet. "Garbage chute. Really wonderful idea. What an incredible smell you've discovered. Let's get out of here! Get away from there…" Han said pulling his laser pistol out.
"No wait…!" Luke said. Han shoots and the bullet richoets off the wall.
"Will you forget it? I already tried it. It's magnetically sealed!" Luke said.
"Put that thing away. You're gonna get us killed!" Leia said.
"Absolutely, your Worship. Look, I had everything under control until you led us down here! Now it's not going to take them long to figure out what happened to us." Han said.
"It could be worse." Leia said. Something growls.
"It's worse." Han said.
Princess Leia sees the Millennium Falcon for the first time.
"You came in that? Your braver then I thought."
"Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? Sometimes I even amaze myself."
"That doesn't seem to hard."
"Just get on board, Princess." Han said pulling her on board. They got in the cockpit. "Punch it, Chewie." They flew out of Vader's ship.
