All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that’s what you’re best at, ain’t it? The Force is strong with this one. I have you now. What!? I find your lack of faith disturbing. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan–

As you wish.

As you wish. I call it luck. No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can’t possibly… I’m trying not to, kid. Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them. Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone. Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him. Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you. I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them.

Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone. You’re all clear, kid. Let’s blow this thing and go home! A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master. You mean it controls your actions?

But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight? I want to come with you to Alderaan. There’s nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and be a Jedi, like my father before me.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan– You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away! Partially, but it also obeys your commands.

I find your lack of faith disturbing. She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There’ll be no one to stop us this time!

Red Five standing by. I want to come with you to Alderaan. There’s nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and be a Jedi, like my father before me. In my experience, there is no such thing as luck.

As you wish. Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them. But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight? Still, she’s got a lot of spirit. I don’t know, what do you think?

Don’t underestimate the Force. You’re all clear, kid. Let’s blow this thing and go home! Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going.

You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away! Red Five standing by. I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight?

I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. Oh God, my uncle. How am I ever gonna explain this? Look, I ain’t in this for your revolution, and I’m not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I’m in it for the money.

Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone. I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? I find your lack of faith disturbing. Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone. You don’t believe in the Force, do you?

The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands. But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight? Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

Don’t act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren’t on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you. Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them.

But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight? He is here. Don’t underestimate the Force. I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.
