24 In the Emperors thrown room. The Emperor's spirit walks towards Darth
Wan. The emperor's face is bent to the floor. You can tell by Darth Wan's
expression the emperor is not happy Darth Wan is kneeling and trying not to
gain eye contact with the Emperor.
EMPEROR Darth Wan they are just landing at Alderan. Where have you been? You were supposed to have got there by now!
DARTH WAN I am sorry my master. Don't worry they will be brought to you.
Emperor's spirit fades Enter commander
DARTH WAN (To commander) How far away from Alderan are we?
COMMANDER We are nearly there my Lord.
DARTH WAN Make sure that we can land.
25 Out side the Millennium Falcon on the landing bay at hanger 306. You can see Leia running out of the door very pleased to see Luke and Han. Leia hugs Luke and kisses Han. She then moves to stand next to Luke facing Leighton. Leighton is looking at the surroundings he is shivering so Leia takes off her cloak it is a bit short on Leighton but he puts it on. His expression is one of admiration.
LUKE Leia this is Leighton. Leighton this is Leia.
LEIA Hello Leighton welcome to Alderan.
LUKE Leia, the Emperor knows that we have Leighton and I need to start his training you need to get your fighters ready.
LEIA Right Luke I will get my commander onto it straight way.
Exit Leia
LUKE Han are you and Chewy staying, or do you need to be else where?
HAN I don't think I could ever leave Alderan with out a certain passenger.
LEIGHTON What are we going to do Luke?
LUKE We are getting ready for a war, the Rebellion against the Emperor.
LEIGHTON So what have I got to do with it?
LUKE If the Emperor or his apprentice Darth Wan gets hold of you or Leia then he will take over the rebellion and we will be forced to turn to the dark side. I have made it worse by bringing your powers to the knowledge of the emperor but I could not protect Leia and Kill his apprentice on my own. Which is why I need your help?
LEIGHTON (getting a bit hysterical) But I am not ready to fight I am terrible with the remote.
LUKE Leighton calm down that is why I have got Leia to get her battle ships ready so that will give us more time to get you ready.
Enter Leia
LEIA Every one is ready. Are you sure it is time?
LUKE Yes, Darth Wan is planning to land on Alderan to fight me and capture you Leia. Your battle ships must stop him. That will give me and Leighton more time.
Leia, Han, Chewy, Leighton and Luke exit. They are all talking together Threepio and R2D2 follow them at a distance.
26 There is a shot of Leia's pilots in the briefing room some a talking to one another and some are mingling. You can see Wedge looking for Luke.
27 Luke, Ray, Han, Leia and Chewy exit camera follows them they are all talking but you can't understand what they are saying. Then R2D2 and Threepio appear.
THREEPIO (OS) Wait for us Master Luke.
R2D2 Beeps rapidly to catch their attention.
Luke turn round for a few seconds then carries on walking.
28 Then Luke, Leia, Leighton, Han, and Chewy enter. Leia, Leighton, Han and Chewy stand at the back of the room whilst Luke goes and stands in the middle of the room.
LUKE Pilots your commander will be Han. Your aim is to keep the Emperors ship away from Alderoon. Good luck and may the force be with you.
Leia to Han quietly
LEIA Be careful Han, I will be waiting for you when you get back.
Han kisses Leia.
29 Pilots exit the briefing room to the hanger.
The pilots are climbing into the x and y – wings Wedge is the last to get into his fighter. You can see him and Luke talking to each other. Luke has his back to us. They are both laughing when we get closer you can hear what Luke and Wedge are saying to each other.
WEDGE So a Jedi Knight that is an improvement from a farm lad. It is a bit different from a pilot; I bet it is more exciting than a pilot.
LUKE Yeah I will have to introduce you to my sister and brother when you get back.
WEDGE (laughing in disbelief) Sister and brother, now you are pulling my leg.
LUKE No, a lot has changed since we last spoke. I will fill you in when you get back.
Leia approaches.
LEIA Right Luke leave Wedge to get on. You know what Han is like if any one is late.
WEDGE Bye Luke, see you when I get back
LUKE Bye Wedge, may the force be with you, good luck.
They both embrace each other with a pat on the back.
Camera follows the fighters out of the hanger into open space it is a plain background with small shining stars. The Millennium Falcon is in the front as the fighters get further away the camera zooms in to follow them a small dot in the distance grows as the small dot grows larger you can make it out to be the Emperor's star ship.
EMPEROR Darth Wan they are just landing at Alderan. Where have you been? You were supposed to have got there by now!
