Aah!
Sir, if I may venture an opinion...
I'm not really interested in your opinion.
There's something out there.
Where?
Outside in the cave.
There it is. Listen. Listen!
I'm going out there.
Are you crazy?
I just got this bucket back together.
I'm not going to let something tear it apart.
Then I'm going with you.
I think it might be better...
- if I stay behind and guard the ship. -
Oh, no.
Leia: This ground sure feels strange.
It doesn't feel like rock.
Han: There's an awful lot of moisture in here.
Leia: I don't know.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Yeah.
Watch out!
It's all right.
Yeah, that's what I thought... mynock.
Chewie, check the rest of the ship...
and make sure there are no more attached...
chewing on the power cables.
Mynocks.
Go on inside. We'll clean them off if there are any more.
Han!
Aagghh! Go away, go away, beastly thing!
Shoo! Shoo!
Wait a minute...
Let's get out of here!
The Empire is still out there! I don't think...
No time to discuss this in committee!
I'm not a committee!
You can't make the jump to light speed in this asteroid field.
Sit down, sweetheart! We're taking off!
Look!
I see it. I see it.
3PO: We're doomed!
Leia: The cave is collapsing.
- This is no cave. - What?
Run!
Yes! A Jedi�s strength flows from the Force.
But beware of the dark side.
Anger, fear, aggression...
The dark side of the Force are they...
easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight.
If once you start down the dark path...
forever will it dominate your destiny.
Consume you it will...
as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice.
Vader.
Is the dark side stronger?
No, no.
No.
Quicker, easier, more seductive.
How do I know the good side from the bad?
You will know when you are calm...
at peace...
passive.
A Jedi uses the Force...
for knowledge and defense...
never for attack.
But tell me why I can't...
No, no. There is no why.
Nothing more will I teach you today.
Clear your mind of questions.
Hmm...
Mmm...
There's something not right here.
I feel cold...
death.
That place...
is strong with the dark side of the Force.
A domain of evil it is.
In you must go.
What's in there?
Only what you take with you.
Your weapons...
you will not need them.
Hmph...
Bounty hunters.
We don't need their scum.
Yes, sir.
Those rebels won't escape us.
Sir, we have a priority signal...
from the Stardestroyer Avenger.
There will be a substantial reward...
for the one who finds...
the Millennium Falcon.
You are free to use any methods necessary...
but I want them alive.
No disintegrations.
As you wish.
Lord Vader.
My lord, we have them.
3PO: Oh, thank goodness we're coming out of...
the asteroid field.
Han: Let's get out of here.
Ready for light speed?
1...
2...
3!
It's not fair.
Gahhh!
Transfer circuits aren't working.
It's not my fault!
No light speed?
It's not my fault.
Sir, we've just lost the main rear deflector shield.
One more direct hit on the back quarter and we're done for.
Turn her around.
I'm going to put all power in the front shield.
You're going to attack them?
Sir, the odds of surviving a direct assault on an imperial...
- Shut up! - Gaahh!
They're moving to attack position.
Shields up.
Track them.
They may come around for another pass.
Captain Needa, the ship no longer appears on our scopes.
They can't have disappeared.
No ship that small has a cloaking device.
Well, there's no trace of them, sir.
Captain, Lord Vader demands an update on the pursuit.
Get a shuttle ready.
I shall assume full responsibility for losing them...
and apologize to Lord Vader.
Meanwhile, continue to scan the area.
Yes, Captain Needa.
Use the Force.
Yes.
Now, the stone...
Feel it.
Concentrate!
Oh, no. We'll never get it out now.
So certain are you.
Always with you it cannot be done.
Hear you nothing that I say?
Master, moving stones around is one thing.
This is totally different.
No! No different!
Only different in your mind.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
All right. I'll give it a try.
No! Try not.
Do.
Or do not.
There is no try.
I can't. It's too big.
Size matters not. Look at me.
Judge me by my size, do you?
Hmm?
Hmph!
And well you should not...
for my ally is the Force.
And a powerful ally it is.
Life creates it...
makes it grow.
Its energy surrounds us...
and binds us.
Luminous beings are we...
not this crude matter.
You must feel the Force around you...
Here, between you, me...
the tree...
the rock...
everywhere!
Yes...
even between the land and the ship.
You want the impossible.
Mm...
I don't...
I don't believe it.
That is why you fail.
Apology accepted, Captain Needa.
Lord Vader, our ships have completed their scan of the area and found nothing.
If the Millennium Falcon went into light speed...
it'll be on the other side of the galaxy by now.
Alert all commands.
Calculate every possible destination...
along their last known trajectory.
Yes, my lord. We'll find them.
Don't fail me again...
Admiral.
Alert all commands.
Deploy the fleet.
Captain Solo, this time you've gone too far.
Gahhh!
I will not be quiet. Why doesn't anyone listen to me?
The fleet's beginning to break up.
Go back and stand by the manual release...
for the landing claw.
I really don't see how that's going to help.
Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances.
The Empire may be gracious enough...
Thank you.
What's your next move?
If they follow standard imperial procedure...
they'll dump their garbage...
before they go to light speed...
and then we just float away.
With the rest of the garbage.
Then what?
Then we got to find a safe port somewhere around here.
Any ideas?
Where are we?
The Anoat system.
There's not much there.
No. Well, wait. This is interesting.
Lando.
Lando system?
Lando's not a system. He's a man. Lando Calrissian.
He's a cardplayer, gambler, scoundrel.
You'd like him.
Thanks.
Bespin. It's pretty far, but I think we can make it.
A mining colony?
Yeah, a tibanna gas mine.
Lando conned somebody out of it.
We go back a long way, Lando and me.
Can you trust him?
No. But he's got no love for the Empire...
I can tell you that.
Here we go, Chewie. Stand by.
Detach.
You do have your moments.
Not many of them...
but you do have them.
Concentrate.
Feel the Force flow.
Yes.
Good.
Calm.
Yes.
Through the Force, things you will see.
Other places. The future. The past.
Old friends long gone.
Han?
Leia!
Hmm...
Control, control.
You must learn control!
I saw... I saw a city in the clouds.
Hmm...
Friends you have there.
They were in pain.
It is the future you see.
Future?
Will they die?
Difficult to see.
Always in motion is the future.
I've got to go to them.
Decide you must how to serve them best.
If you leave now, help them you could...
but you would destroy all...
for which they have fought and suffered.
No, I don't have a landing permit.
I'm trying to reach Lando Calrissian.
Wait a minute! Let me explain!
You will not deviate from your present course.
3PO: Rather touchy, aren't they?
I thought you knew this person.
Gaah!
That was a long time ago.
I'm sure he's forgotten about that.
Permission granted to land on Platform 3-2-7.
Thank you.
Nothing to worry about.
We go way back, Lando and me.
Who's worried?
3PO: Oh. No one to meet us.
I don't like this.
Well, what would you like?
They did let us land.
Look, don't worry. Everything's going to be fine.
Trust me.
See? My friend.
Keep your eyes open, huh?
Gahhh!
Hey!
Why, you slimy...
double-crossing, no-good swindler.
You've got a lot of guts coming here...
after what you pulled.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
How you doin', you old pirate? So good to see you!
Well, he seems very friendly.
Yes.
Very friendly.
What are you doing here?
Ah, repairs. I thought you could help me out.
What have you done to my ship?
Your ship?
Hey, remember...
you lost her to me fair and square.
And how you doin', Chewbacca?
Gahh!
You still hanging around with this loser?
Gahhh!
Hello. What have we here?
Welcome, I'm Lando Calrissian.
I'm the administrator of this facility.
And who might you be?
Leia.
Welcome, Leia.
All right, all right, you old smoothie.
Hello, sir. I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations.
My facilities are at your...
Well, really!
What's wrong with the Falcon?
Hyperdrive.
I'll get my people to work on her.
That ship saved my life quite a few times.
She's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
How's the gas mine? Still paying off for you?
Not as well as I'd like.
We're a small outpost and not very self-sufficient.
I've had supply problems of every kind.
I've had labor difficulties.
Ha ha ha!
What's so funny?
You. Listen to you.
You sound like a businessman...
a responsible leader.
Who'd have thought that, huh?
Seeing you brings back a few things.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm responsible these days.
It's the price you pay...
for being successful.
Ooh. Nice to see a familiar face.
E chu ta!
How rude!
That sounds like an R2 unit in there.
I wonder if... Hello?
Hello?
How interesting.
Who are you?
Oh, my! I... I'm terribly sorry.
I didn't mean to intrude.
No, please don't get up.
Gahhh.
Luke, you must complete the training.
I can't keep the vision out of my head.
They're my friends. I got to help them.
You must not go.
But Han and Leia will die if I don't.
You don't know that.
Even Yoda cannot see their fate.
But I can help them.
I feel the Force.
But you cannot control it.
This is a dangerous time for you...
when you will be tempted by the dark side of the Force.
Yes! Yes! To Obi-Wan you listen.
The cave. Remember your failure at the cave.
But I've learned so much since then.
Master Yoda, I promise to return and to finish what I've begun.
You have my word.
It is you and your abilities...
the emperor wants.
That is why your friends are made to suffer.
That's why I have to go.
Luke, I don't want to lose you to the emperor...
the way I lost Vader.
You won't.
Stopped they must be.
On this all depends.
Only a fully trained Jedi knight...
with the Force as his ally...
will conquer Vader and his emperor.
If you end your training now...
if you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did...
you will become an agent of evil.
Patience.
And sacrifice Han and Leia?
If you honor what they fight for... yes.
If you choose to face Vader...
you will do it alone.
I cannot interfere.
I understand.
R2.
Fire up the converters.
Luke!
Don't give in to hate.
That leads to the dark side.
Strong is Vader.
Mind what you have learned. Save you it can.
I will.
And I'll return.
I promise.
Told you, I did.
Reckless is he.
Now...
matters are worse.
That boy is our last hope.
No, there is another.
The ship's almost finished.
Two or three more things and we're in great shape.
The sooner the better. Something is wrong here.
No one has seen or knows anything about 3PO.
He's been gone too long to have gotten lost.
Relax. I'll talk to Lando...
and see what I can find out.
I don't trust Lando.
Well, I don't trust him either.
But he is my friend. Besides...
we'll soon be gone.
Then you're as good as gone, aren't you?
Gaahh!
What happened?
Gahhh gahhh.
Where?
Gahhh!
Found him in a junk pile?
Oh, what a mess. Chewie, you think you can repair him?
Gahhh!
Lando's got people that can fix him.
No, thanks.
I'm sorry, am I interrupting anything?
Not really.
You look absolutely beautiful.
You truly belong here with us among the clouds.
Thank you.
Would you join me for a little refreshment?
Everyone's invited, of course.
Having trouble with your droid?
No, no problem.
Why?
You see, since we're a small operation...
we don't fall into...
the jurisdiction of the Empire.
So you're part of the Mining Guild, then?
No, not actually. Our operation is small enough not to be noticed.
Which is advantageous for everybody...
since our customers are anxious to avoid...
attracting attention to themselves.
Aren't you afraid the Empire's going to find out...
about this little operation, shut you down?
It's always been a danger that looms like a shadow over everything we've built.
But things have developed that'll ensure security.
I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever.
We would be honored if you would join us.
I had no choice.
They arrived right before you did.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
Gahhh.
No, 3PO's with them.
Just hang on. We're almost there.
Gahhh!
Oh ah ooh ah.
Im trbly srry.
I dndt mn to intrddd.
No! Secret. Stormtroopers?
Here? We're in danger!
I must tell the others.
Oh, no, I've been shot!
Aaah!
Aaaaahhh!
Lord Vader.
You may take Captain Solo to Jabba the Hutt...
after I have Skywalker.
He's no good to me dead.
He will not be permanently damaged.
Aaaahhh!
Lord Vader, what about Leia and the Wookiee?
They must never again leave this city.
That was never a condition of our agreement...
nor was giving Han to this bounty hunter.
Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?
No.
Good. It would be unfortunate...
if I had to leave a garrison here.
This deal is getting worse all the time.
Oh, yes, that's very good. I like that.
Oh!
Something's not right because now I can't see.
Oh, oh, oh, that's much better.
Wait! Wait!
Oh, my! What have you done?
I'm backwards...
you flea-bitten furball!
Only an overgrown mophead like you...
would be stupid enough...
I feel terrible.
Gahhh.
Why are they doing this?
They never even asked me any questions.
Lando.
Grrr!
Han: Get out of here, Lando.
Shut up and listen!
Vader's agreed to turn Leia and Chewie over to me.
They'll have to stay here, but at least they'll be safe.
Leia: What about Han?
Vader's given him to the bounty hunter.
Vader wants us all dead.
He doesn't want you at all.
He's after somebody called Skywalker.
- Luke. - Lord Vader set a trap for him.
And we're the bait!
He's on his way.
You fixed us all real good, didn't you?
My friend.
Stop!
I've done all I can.
I'm sorry I couldn't do better...
but I've got my own problems.
Yeah.
You're a real hero.
You certainly have a way with people.
Ah... Ah...
This facility is crude...
but it should be adequate to freeze Skywalker...
for his journey to the emperor.
Lord Vader, ship approaching, X-wing class.
Good. Monitor Skywalker...
and allow him to land.
Lord Vader, we only use this facility for carbon freezing.
You put him in there, it might kill him.
I do not want...
the emperor's prize damaged.
We will test it on Captain Solo.
If only you'd attached my legs...
I wouldn't be in this ridiculous position.
Now remember, Chewbacca...
you have a responsibility for me...
so don't do anything foolish.
What's going on...
buddy?
You're being put into carbon freeze.
What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me.
The Empire will compensate you...
if he dies.
Put him in.
Rrrah!
Rrrah! Rrrah!
Han: Stop, Chewie, stop, stop!
3PO: Yes, stop, please! I'm not ready to die!
Hey! Hey! Listen to me, Chewie.
This won't help me.
Hey, save your strength.
There will be another time.
The princess...
You have to take care of her.
Do you hear me? Huh?
Gahhh...
I love you.
I know.
Gahhh!
What's going on? Turn around!
Chewbacca, I can't see.
Gahhh.
Oh, they've encased him in carbonite.
He should be quite well-protected...
if he survived the freezing process, that is.
Well, Calrissian, did he survive?
Yes, he's alive.
And in perfect hibernation.
He's all yours, bounty hunter.
Reset the chamber for Skywalker.
Skywalker has just landed, lord.
Good. See to it that he finds his way in here.
Calrissian, take the princess and the Wookiee to my ship.
You said they'd be left in the city under my supervision.
I am altering the deal.
Pray I don't alter it any further.
Gahhh!
Luke! Luke, don't, it's a trap!
It's a trap!
The Force is with you, young Skywalker.
But you are not a Jedi yet.
Well done.
Hold them in the security tower.
And keep it quiet. Move.
What do you think you're doing?
We're getting out of here.
I knew all along. It had to be a mistake.
Do you think that after what you did to Han, we're going to trust you?
Grrr!
I had no choice.
What are you doing? Trust him! Trust him!
We understand, don't we, Chewie? He had no choice.
I'm just trying to help.
We don't need any of your help.
Haaa...
Grrr!
Ha... Ha...
What?
Han...
It sounds like Han.
There's still a chance...
to save Han...
at the east...
platform.
Chewie.
I'm terribly sorry about all this.
After all, he's only a Wookiee.
Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold.
R2, R2, where have you been?
Wait. Turn around, you woolly...
Hurry! Hurry! We're trying to save Han from the bounty hunter.
Well, at least you're still in one piece.
Look what's happened to me.
Oh, no! Chewie, they're behind you!
You have learned much, young one.
You'll find I'm full of surprises.
Your destiny lies with me, Skywalker.
Obi-Wan knew this to be true.
No.
Aaah!
All too easy.
Perhaps you're not as strong...
as the emperor thought.
Impressive.
Most impressive.
Aaah!
Obi-Wan has taught you well.
You have controlled your fear.
Now...
release your anger.
Only your hatred can destroy me.
Ohh!
The security code has been changed.
R2, you can tell the computer...
to override the security systems.
R2, hurry!
Attention. This is Lando Calrissian.
The Empire has taken control of the city.
I advise everyone to leave before more imperial troops arrive.
This way.
Well, don't blame me. I'm an interpreter.
I'm not supposed to know a power socket from a computer terminal.
Ah! We're not interested...
in the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive.
It's fixed!
Just open the door, you stupid lump!
I never doubted you for a second.
Wonderful!
Ouch! Oh! That hurts!
Bend down, you thoughtless... Ow!
Leia!
Go!
I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me.
Of course I've looked better.
You are beaten.
It is useless to resist.
Don't let yourself be destroyed...
as Obi-Wan did.
Uh!
Aah!
There is no escape.
Don't make me destroy you.
Luke...
you do not yet realize your importance.
You have only begun to discover your power.
Join me...
and I will complete your training.
With our combined strength...
we can end this destructive conflict...
and bring order to the galaxy.
I'll never join you!
If you only knew the power...
of the dark side.
Obi-Wan never told you...
what happened to your father.
He told me enough.
He told me you killed him.
No.
I am your father.
No.
That's not true.
That's impossible!
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
No!
Luke.
You can destroy the emperor.
He has foreseen this.
It is your destiny.
Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy...
as father and son.
Come with me.
It is the only way.
Ben.
Ben, please.
Ben.
Leia.
Hear me.
Leia.
Luke.
We've got to go back.
- What? - I know where Luke is.
What about those fighters?
Chewie, just do it.
But what about Vader?
All right, all right!
Bring my shuttle.
Look, someone's up there.
It's Luke.
Chewie, slow down.
Slow down. We'll get under him.
Lando, open the top hatch.
O. K.
Easy, Chewie.
Gahrrr.
Lando?
OK, let's go.
Oh, Leia.
All right, Chewie, let's go.
I'll be back.
Stardestroyer.
All right, Chewie. Ready for light speed.
If your people fixed the hyperdrive.
All the coordinates are set. It's now or never.
Punch it!
They told me they fixed it.
I trusted them!
It's not my fault!
They'll be in range of our tractor beam in moments, lord.
Did your men deactivate...
the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon?
Yes, my lord.
Good. Prepare the boarding party...
and set your weapons for "stun. "
Yes, my lord. Lieutenant.
Yes, sir.
Noisy brute. Why don't we just go into light speed?
We can't? How would you know...
the hyperdrive is deactivated?
The city's central computer told you?
R2-D2, you know better than to trust a strange computer.
Ouch!
Pay attention to what you're doing!
Luke.
Father.
Son, come with me.
Ben.
Why didn't you tell me?
Chewie!
It's Vader.
Luke, it is your destiny.
Ben.
Why didn't you tell me?
Alert all commands.
Ready for the tractor beam.
R2, come back at once!
You haven't finished with me yet.
You don't know how to fix the hyperdrive.
Chewbacca can do it.
I'm standing here in pieces...
and you're having delusions of grandeur!
You did it!
Luke, we're ready for takeoff.
Good luck, Lando.
When we find Jabba the Hutt...
and that bounty hunter...
we'll contact you.
I'll meet you at the rendezvous point on Tatooine.
Princess, we'll find Han.
I promise.
Chewie, I'll be waiting for your signal.
Take care, you two.
May the Force be with you.
Gahhh.
Ow.
