INT.
DEATH STAR - CORRIDORS
Our
heroes scramble down the long, narrow corridors of the Death Star, randomly
running around corners to try and throw off their pursuers.
Suddenly
they hear a rumble in the distance and the corridor starts to shake. Metal
splinters fall from the ceiling not far behind them.
LANDO
Please,
God, don't tell me that's what I think it is…
YODA
AT-AT
Walker, that is. Beyond any of you, that infernal contraption is. Flee faster,
we must!
LANDO
We are
gonna die.
They run
for longer, and Lando stumbles, nearly falling into a turbolift shaft. Han runs
forward and grabs him by the scruff of the neck.
HAN
Not so
fast, buddy. Me first.
Han
takes a Swiss Army knife out of his shirt pocket, and suddenly opens up and
umbrella. He jumps down the shaft.
LUKE
What
does that guy carry with him?
HAN'S
VOICE
Alright,
Yoda, you next! C'mon!
Yoda
charges forward and leaps, screaming, down the shaft.
Artoo
and Detoo follow him, using their rocket packs to slow their descent.
Meanwhile, the splinters are falling closer and closer. Blaster shots can be
heard below.
Lando
jumps down.
HAN'S
VOICE
Get
down! I'll cover you!
BEN
You
next, Threepio!
THREEPIO
B-b-b-but
sir –
Ben
pushes him down the shaft anyway.
THREEPIO
-AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
Chewie
moves forward, ready to jump. Ben lifts a foot, ready to kick him.
CHEWIE
~Don't
kick!~
Ben
kicks him anyway, and Chewie howls in pain as he falls.
Suddenly
the ceiling crashes down behind Luke and Ben, falling through several more
floors and crushing a lot of stormtroopers. Han and Lando run beneath the new
gap.
LANDO
C'mon,
we've got you!
Squeezing
their eyes shut, Luke and Ben run and dive through the gap. Han and Lando catch
them and put them down. They take a moment to brush themselves off before our
heroes do some more running. The corridor broadens before they reach a long,
narrow bridge. There is a flash of light and a even louder rumble than before,
the Death Star shaking violently.
YODA
Over the
bridge, you must go! On the other side, the docking bay should be! Hurry, you
must!
Yoda
then follows the others across the bridge, turning halfway to face the
gigantic, four-legged mechanical monstrosity that is the AT-AT Walker (AN: it's
the type you see in The Empire Strikes Back). He conjures up the glowing blue
ball with his hands and makes the Mr. Miyagi face like in Attack of the Clones.
LUKE
(wails)
YODA!!!
The
Walker shoots at Yoda, but it is a wild shot – it doesn't go anywhere near
anyone.
YODA
GET PAST
ME, YOU CANNOT!!!! (Blows a raspberry)
APPRENTICE
TO THE LORD OF THE PLAYSTATION, I AM, WIELDER OF THE ALMIGHTY CONTROL PAD! THE
HAILED CD BURNER WILL NOT AVAIL YOU, VIDEO GAME PIRATE!!!
He
throws the blue ball at his feet, immediately vapourising the half of the
bridge that is in front of him, as well as the ground underneath the Walker,
which falls, but is not without it's own tricks. It shoots at the bridge
beneath Yoda's feet, and scores a hit. Yoda is holding on by his fingers.
YODA
There…is…a…nother…Sky….
He never
gets to finish his sentence and falls into the chasm.
LUKE
YODA!!!
He
begins to run forward, but Lando grabs him and holds him back.
LUKE
(Cont'd)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET GO OF ME, YOU FREAK!!! ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
The rest
of our heroes stand there in complete shock at what's just happened.
YODA'S
VOICE
(Echoing)
Fly, you
fools!
They
then come to their senses as they see even more stormtroopers coming. They turn
and run for the hangar, which is just through the door, Ben being the last one
through.
