DEATH STAR - DETENTION CORRIDORLuke and Leia crouch together in an alcove for protection asthey continue to exchange fire with troops.

When you camein here, didn't you have a plan forgetting out?HAN(pointing to Luke)He's the brains, sweetheart.Luke manages a sheepish grin and shrugs his shoulders.LUKEWell, I didn't...The princess grabs Luke's gun and fires at a small grate inthe wall next to Han, almost frying him.HANWhat the hell are you doing?LEIASomebody has to save our skins. Intothe garbage chute, wise guy.
She jumps through the narrow opening as Han and Chewbaccalook on in amazement. Chewbacca sniffs the garbage chute andsays something.HANGet in there you big furry oaf! Idon't care what you smell! Get inthere and don't worry about it.Han gives him a kick and the Wookiee disappears into thetiny opening. Luke and Han continue firing as they work theirway toward the opening.HANWonderful girl! Either I'm going tokill her or I'm beginning to likeher. Get in there!Luke ducks laserfire as he jumps into the darkness. Han firesoff a couple of quick blasts creating a smokey cover, thenslides into the chute himself and is gone.INT. DEATH STAR - GARBAGE ROOMHan tumbles into the large room filled with garbage and muck.Luke is already stumbling around looking for an exit. Hefinds a small hatchway and struggles to get it open. It won'tbudge.HAN(sarcastically)Oh! The garbage chute was a reallywonderful idea. What an incrediblesmell you've discovered! Let's getout of here! Get away from there...No! wait!LUKEHan draws his laser pistol and fires at the hatch. Thelaserbolt ricochets wildly around the small metal room.Everyone dives for cover in the garbage as the bolt explodesalmost on top of them.

You're going toget us all killed.HANAbsolutely, Your Worship. Look, Ihad everything under control untilyou led us down here. You know, it'snot going to take them long to figureout what happened to us.LEIAIt could be worse...A loud, horrible, inhuman moan works its way up from themurky depths. Chewbacca lets out a terrified howl and beginsto back away. Han and Luke stand fast with their laser pistolsdrawn. The Wookiee is cowering near one of the walls.HANIt's worse.LUKEThere's something alive in here!HANThat's your imagination.LUKESomething just moves past my leg!Look! Did you see that?What?Help!HANLUKESuddenly Luke is yanked under the garbage.HANLuke! Luke! Luke!Solo tries to get to Luke. Luke surfaces with a gasp of airand thrashing of limbs.
