This one is a quite bit shorter than normal, but I hope you enjoy!


The Millennium Falcon powers away from the Death Star docking bay, makes a spectacular turn and disappears into the vastness of space.

In different circumstances someone might've made a comment about the heroes escaping the Death Star with the plans, but after the death of Obi Wan Kenobi a grim silence had settled throughout the theater leaving everyone hesitant to speak even if they did find themselves in the mood to do so.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - CENTRAL HOLD AREA

Luke, saddened by the loss of Obi-Wan Kenobi, stares off blankly as the robots look on.

Anakin sighed, knowing how his son was feeling. When he had Obi Wan to look up to, Luke had been pushing away the deep grief he felt for the death of his aunt and uncle. Now that Obi Wan was gone and Luke was all alone, he was feeling the weight of all those emotions at once.

Obi Wan was staring sadly at Anakin, knowing exactly what he was thinking. After all, the same thing had happened to him not fifteen year ago.

Leia puts a blanket around him protectively, and Luke turns and looks up at her. She sits down beside him.

"Aww", said Padmé with a sad smile. "The poor girl just lost her home planet yet she's comforting Luke"

"She does have a kind soul" agreed Obi Wan. "She's senator Organa's daughter, correct?" he asked.

"I'm guessing adopted, (he told me he and his wife couldn't have kids) but I believe so" said Padmé.

"That's unfortunate," said Anakin. "But I'm glad they were able to give this Leia a home, even if it wasn't for much of her life"

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT

Solo spots approaching enemy ships.

"Oh come on!" said Ahsoka. "Just when we thought they were safe"

"Sometimes it seems the battle never ends" said Obi Wan.

HAN (to Chewie) We're coming up on the sentry ships. Hold 'em off! Angle the deflector shields while I charge up the main guns!

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - CENTRAL HOLD AREA

Luke looks downward sadly, shaking his head back and forth, as the princess smiles comfortingly at him.

LUKE I can't believe he's gone.

"Are there any Jedi left to train Luke now that Master Kenobi is dead?" asked Kit Fisto.

"I'm sure there's someone out there," said Plo Koon, "but how will they find him?"

"Trust in the Force, we must" said Yoda.

"Yes," Obi Wan agreed "I'm sure he's the main character for a reason. Well, more reason than simply being the son of Anakin Skywalker"

Artoo-Detoo beeps a reply.

"That's good, Artoo" said Anakin, thankful to the droid for comforting his son.

LEIA There wasn't anything you could have done.

"He shouldn't blame himself for my death!" said Obi Wan. I was the one that failed he thought to himself.

"A lot of times guilt and grief go hand and hand" said Padmé.

"Hmm. Common, in this situation, guilt is" Yoda agreed.

Han rushes into the hold area where Luke is sitting with the princess.

HAN (to Luke) Come on, buddy, we're not out of this yet!

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - GUNPORTS - COCKPIT

Solo climbs into his attack position in the topside gunport.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - HOLD AREA

Luke gets up and moves out toward the gunports as Leia heads for the cockpit.

"I don't think we've seen Luke in any real space combat, have we?" asked Ahsoka.

"I'm sure he'll be every bit his father's son in that regard" said Padmé. Anakin gave a small smile.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - GUNPORTS - COCKPIT

Luke climbs down the ladder into the gunport cockpit, settling into one of the two main laser cannons mounted in large rotating turrets on either side of the ship.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - SOLO'S GUNPORT

Han adjusts his headset as he sits before the controls of his laser cannon, then speaks into the attached microphone.

HAN (to Luke) You in, kid? Okay, stay sharp!

"I wonder how many times he's done this" said Padmé.

"I'd guess a lot; he is a pirate" said Ahsoka. "But I don't think he's ever fought Imperials in this kind of situation before"

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - GUNPORTS - COCKPIT

Chewbacca and Princess Leia search the heavens for attacking TIE fighters. The Wookiee pulls back on the speed controls as the ship bounces slightly.

"They're certainly outmatched in terms of weaponry" said Palpatine.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - SOLO'S GUNPORT - COCKPIT

Computer graphic readouts form on Solo's target screen, as Han reaches for controls.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - GUNPORT - COCKPIT

Luke sits in readiness for the attack, his hand on the laser cannon's control button.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT.

Chewbacca spots the enemy ships and barks.

LEIA (into intercom) Here they come!
