Chapter 3:
Meeting the Falcon
Luke and Vader arrive on the Star Destroyer, with Luke in vibro-chains. The commanding officer looks at Luke then at Vader. "Ahem, Lord Vader. The Millennium Falcon has been in our scopes, awaiting you orders, sir." "Good." As they get to the bridge, Vader issues a command, "Hail the ship. And get me Boba Fett." "Yes, sir."
On the Falcon, Lando, Chewie and Leia are racing Slave I, Boba Fett's ship. "Sir," says C3PO, "we're receiving a distress signal from the Star Destroyer. Oh my, from Lord Vader himself!" Lando opened hailing frequencies. "This is the Millennium Falcon, Lando Calrissian speaking. Who" "Captain Calrissian, lower your shields and prepare to be boarded and brought in. Surrender to the Empire." "Never!" Luke stood toward the communications console. "Leia, it's Luke. Listen, I'm with Vader, as a prisoner, I'll explain later. Do as Lord Vader says." "Lando covered the receiver, "Are you sure you can trust him?" "Vader, no; Luke, yes." "Luke, this is Lando, tell the Dark Lord, we'll surrender." "Lord Vader has received your reply", the commanding officer said. "What do you want to do about General Fett?" "Bring him here, with Captain Solo, at once." "Yes, sir. And him?" Nodding toward Luke. "Make sure he's well taken care of, fix his hand, and allow him to have his lightsaber." "Yes, sir, my Lord".
