INTERCOM VOICE: Standing by.
The rumble of a distant explosion begins.
EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.
The Rebel ships race out of sight, leaving the moon-like Death
Star alone against a blanket of stars. Several small flashes
appear on the surface. The Death Star bursts into a supernova,
creating a spectacular heavenly display.
INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON -- ****PIT.
HAN: Great shot, kid. That was one in a million.
INTERIOR: LUKE'S X-WING FIGHTER -- ****PIT.
Luke is at ease, and his eyes are closed.
BEN'S VOICE: Remember, the Force will be with you...always.
The ship rocks back and forth.
EXTERIOR: DARTH VADER'S TIE FIGHTER.
Vader's ship spins off into space.
EXTERIOR: SPACE.
The Rebel ships race toward the fourth moon of Yavin.
INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST -- MAIN HANGAR.
Luke climbs out of his starship fighter and is cheered by a
throng of ground crew and pilots. Luke climbs down the ladder
as they all welcome him with laughter, cheers, and shouting.
Princess Leia rushes toward him.
LEIA: Luke! Luke! Luke!
She throws her arms around Luke and hugs him as they dance
around in a circle. Solo runs in toward Luke and they embrace
one another, slapping each other on the back.
HAN: (laughing) Hey! Hey!
LUKE: (laughing) I knew you'd come back! I just knew it!
HAN: Well, I wasn't gonna let you get all the cre*** and take all the
reward.
Luke and Han look at one another, as Solo playfully shoves
at Luke's face. Leia moves in between them.
LEIA: (laughing) Hey, I knew there was more to you than money.
Luke looks toward the ship.
LUKE: Oh, no!
The fried little Artoo-Detoo is lifted off the back of the
fighter and carried off under the worried eyes of Threepio.
THREEPIO: Oh, my! Artoo! Can you hear me? Say something! (to mechanic)
You can repair him, can't you?
TECHNICIAN: We'll get to work on him right away.
THREEPIO: You must repair him! Sir, if any of my circuits or gears
will help, I'll gladly donate them.
LUKE: He'll be all right.
INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST -- MAIN THRONE ROOM.
Luke, Han, and Chewbacca enter the huge ruins of the main
temple. Hundreds of troops are lined up in neat rows. Banners
are flying and at the far end stands a vision in white, the
beautiful young Senator Leia. Luke and the others solemnly
march up the long aisle and kneel before Senator Leia. From
one side of the temple marches a shined-up and fully repaired
Artoo-Detoo. He waddles up to the group and stands next to an
equally pristine Threepio, who is rather awestruck by the
whole event. Chewbacca is confused. Dodonna and several other
dignitaries sit on the left of the Princess Leia. Leia is
dressed in a long white dress and is staggeringly beautiful.
She rises and places a gold medallion around Han's neck. He
winks at her. She then repeats the ceremony with Luke, who is
moved by the event. They turn and face the assembled troops,
who all bow before them. Chewbacca growls and Artoo beeps with
happiness.
FADE OUT
END CRE***S OVER STARS

THE END
