A death mark's not an easy thing to live with.
A domain of evil it is.
A great warrior.
A ha!
A mining colony?
A responsible leader.
Aaaaahhh!
Aaaahhh!
Aaah!
Aaah!
Aagghh! Go away, go away, beastly thing!
Aah!

Activate harpoon.
Actually, R2 has been known to make mistakes...
Admiral Ozzel came out of light speed too close to the system.
Admiral.
Admiral.
Admiral.
Adventure.
Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a good bye kiss?
Afraid?
After all, he's only a Wookiee.
After all, I'm only trying to do my job.
Ah, father.
Ah, repairs. I thought you could help me out.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah! I thought they smelled bad on the outside!
Ah! We're not interested in the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive.
Ah... Ah...
Ahhh!
Ain't gonna argue with that.
AJedi craves not these things.
AJedi must have the deepest commitment, hmm?
AJedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense,
Alert all commands.
Alert all commands.
Alert all commands.
Alert my Stardestroyer to prepare for my arrival.
All his life has he looked away...
All right, all right, you old smoothie.
All right, all right!
All right, boys, keep tight now.
All right, Chewie, let's go.
All right, Chewie. Ready for light speed.
All right! Don't lose your temper.
All right! That's it.
All right. I'll give it a try.
All right. I'm coming in.
All right. Stand by, Dak.
All the coordinates are set. It's now or never.
All the scopes are dead. I can't see a thing.
All too easy.
All troop carriers will assemble at the north entrance.
All troops will debark for ground assault.
Alluvial dampers.
Although he does admit that his own range is far too weak to abandon all hope.
Always in motion is the future.
Always with you it cannot be done.
Am I? Then why are you following me?
An imperial probe droid.
And a powerful ally it is.
And binds us.
And deploy the fleet so that nothing gets off the system.
And do take good care of yourself.
And get to your transports!
And he'll be quite all right. You'll see.
And how you doin', Chewbacca?
And I'll return.
And I'm sure Skywalker is with them.
And if we could get our ship out, we would. But we can't, so why don't you—
And in perfect hibernation.
And keep it quiet. Move.
And my joints are freezing up.
And sacrifice Han and Leia?
And that was the last time they appeared in any of our scopes.
And then we just float away.
And well you should not,
And what precisely am I supposed to know?
And who might you be?
And you're having delusions of grandeur!
And, Chewie...
Anger, fear, aggression
Any ideas?
Anything broken?
Apology accepted, Captain Needa.
Are you all right?
Are you crazy?
Aren't you afraid the Empire's going to find out about this little operation, shut you down?
As it did Obi Wan's apprentice.
As soon as each transport is loaded,
As you wish.
Asteroids do not concern me, Admiral.
Asteroids.
At peace,
At the east...
Attack pattern Delta. Go now.
Attention. The Empire has taken control of the city.
Attention. This is Lando Calrissian.
Away put your weapon!
B B But where are you going?
Be careful.
Beeep!
Begin retreat! Fall back!
Ben— I can be a Jedi.
Ben, please.
Ben, tell him I'm
Ben!
Ben?

Ben... Dagobah...
Bend down, you thoughtless Ow!
Bespin. It's pretty far, but I think we can make it.
Between ourselves,
Bounty hunters.
Bring me the hydrospanner!
Buddy?
But beware of the dark side.
But Han and Leia will die if I don't.
But he is my friend. Besides...
But I can help them.
But I want them alive.
But I've got my own problems.
But I've learned so much since then.
But I've learned so much.
But it has entered an asteroid field, and we cannot risk—
But it has the most peculiar dialect.
But it should be adequate to freeze Skywalker for his journey to the emperor.
But it'll keep you warm...
But it's the best lead we've had.
But tell me why I can't
But things have developed that'll ensure security.
But what about Vader?
But you are not a Jedi yet.
But you cannot control it.
But you didn't see us alone in the south passage.
But you do have them.
But you would destroy all for which they have fought and suffered.
But, sir, the Hoth system is supposed to be devoid of humans.
Cable detached.
Cable out. Let her go!
Calculate every possible destination along their last known trajectory.
Calm.
Calrissian, take the princess and the Wookiee to my ship.
Can it be done?
Can you trust him?
Cannot get your ship out. Hee hee hee!
Captain Piett.
Captain Solo, do you copy?
Captain Solo, this time you've gone too far.
Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited.
Captain, Lord Vader demands an update on the pursuit.
Chewbacca can do it.
Chewbacca, I can't see.
Chewie, check the rest of the ship and make sure there are no more attached,
Chewie, I'll be waiting for your signal.
Chewie, just do it.
Chewie, slow down.
Chewie, take care of yourself, O. K?
Chewie, take the professor in the back and plug him into the hyperdrive.
Chewie!
Chewie!
Chewie!
Chewie!
Chewie?
Chewie.
Chewing on the power cables.
Clear your mind of questions.
Close the doors.
Closer?!
Come along, R2, let's find Princess Leia.
Come back!
Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm all right.
Come on, Chewie, let's check it out.
Come on, Chewie!
Come on, give me a sign here.
Come on!
Come on! Come on!

Did your men deactivate the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon?
Difficult to see.
Distance to power generators?
Do you know where Commander Skywalker is?
Do you think that after what you did to Han, we're going to trust you?
Do.
Don't do that.
Don't do this, Luke.
Don't fail me again...
Don't get excited.
Don't give in to hate.
Don't let yourself be destroyed as Obi Wan did.
Don't make me destroy you.
Don't say things like that!
Don't worry about Master Luke.
Don't worry, R2.
Don't worry. I'll leave.
Double crossing, no good swindler.

Everyone's invited, of course.

Excuse me, ma'am, but where are we going?
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, sir. Might I inquire what's going on?
Excuse us, please.
Father.
Feel it.
Feel like what?
Feel the Force flow.
Feeling all right, sir?
Find out what's wrong with the hyperdrive.
Fire up the converters.
Fire.
First I'm gonna get you to your ship.
For 800 years have I trained Jedi.
For my ally is the Force.
For the Jedi,
Forever will it dominate your destiny.
Forget the heavy equipment.
Found him in a junk pile?
Found someone you have, I would say, hmmm?
Friends you have there.
From time to time.

General Rieekan thinks it's dangerous for any ships to leave the system
General Veers, prepare your men.
General, I got to leave. I can't stay anymore.
General, prepare your troops for a surface attack.
General, there's a fleet of Stardestroyers coming out of hyperspace in Sector Four.
Get a shuttle ready.
Get her ready for takeoff.
Get out of here, Lando.
Get ready to fire that tow cable.
Give the evacuation code signal.
Go back and stand by the manual release for the landing claw.
Go for the legs. It might be our only chance of stopping them.
Go on inside. We'll clean them off if there are any more.
Go!
Good food! Mmm, good, hmm?
Good food.
Good luck, Lando.
Good luck, Luke. See you at the rendezvous.
Good luck.
Good shot, Janson.
Good.
Good. It would be unfortunate if I had to leave a garrison here.
Good. Monitor Skywalker and allow him to land.
Good. Our first catch of the day.
Good. Prepare the boarding party and set your weapons for stun.
Good. See to it that he finds his way in here.
Graaah!
Groups 7 and 10 will stay behind to fly the speeders.
Grrr!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Haaa...
Hah hah hah!
Hah! That got him!
Han, get up here!
Han, old buddy, do you read me?
Han, we need you!
Han: Luke!
Han: Stop, Chewie, stop, stop!
Han!
Han?
Han...
Han... Good morning.
Hang on, kid.
Having trouble with your droid?
He could destroy us.
He doesn't want you at all. He's after somebody called Skywalker.
He has foreseen this.
He hasn't come back yet. She doesn't know where he is.
He He felt surprise was wiser.
He is as clumsy as he is stupid.
He is not ready.
He is too old.
He might have forgotten to check in.
He told me you killed him.
He will join us or die, master.
He will learn patience.
He will not be permanently damaged.
He would be a great asset.
He would become a powerful ally.
He'll be quite all right.
He's a cardplayer, gambler, scoundrel.
He's all yours, bounty hunter.
He's been gone too long to have gotten lost.
He's just a boy.
He's no good to me dead.
He's on his way.
He's quite clever, you know, for a human being.
Headquarters personnel, report to command center.
Hear me.
Hear you nothing that I say?
Heard the command center had been hit.
Hee hee. Mmm, powerful Jedi.
Hello, sir. I am C 3PO, human cyborg relations.
Hello. What have we here?
Help you I can. Yes, mmmm.
Here we go, Chewie. Stand by.
Here, between you, me,
Here!
Here? We're in danger!
Hey, get out of there!
Hey, give me that!
Hey, remember,
Hey, save your strength.
Hey, you could have broken this.
Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.
Hey!
Hey! Hey! Listen to me, Chewie.
Hey! That's my dinner!
Hi, kid.
Hmm?
Hmm?
Hmm? Heh heh.
Hmm...
Hmm...
Hmm...
Hmm...
Hmph!
Hmph!
Hmph...
Hobbie, you still with me?
Hobbie!
Hold them in the security tower.
Horizontal boosters!
Hot!
Hot!
How could you know my father?
How do I know the good side from the bad?
How far away is Yoda? Will it take us long to get there?
How interesting.
How is that possible?
How rude!
How typical.
How will we dry out her clothes?
How ya feelin', kid? You don't look so bad to me.
How you doin', you old pirate? So good to see you!
How you get so big eating food of this kind?
How's the gas mine? Still paying off for you?
How's this?
Hurry up, goldenrod.
Hurry! Hurry! We're trying to save Han from the bounty hunter.
Hyperdrive.
I advise everyone to leave before more imperial troops arrive.
I am altering the deal.
I am wondering... why are you here?
I am your father.
I can arrange that.
I can tell you that.
I can't keep the vision out of my head.
I can't. It's too big.
I cannot interfere.
I cannot teach him.
I cook.
I didn't ask you to turn on the thermal heater.
I didn't hit it that hard. Must've had a self destruct.
I didn't mean to intrude.
I dndt mn to intrddd.
I do not want the emperor's prize damaged.
I don't believe it.
I don't even know what I'm doing here.
I don't know how we're gonna get out of this one.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know where he is.
I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't like this.
I don't pick up any life readings.
I don't think so.
I don't think we can protect two transports at a time.
I don't trust Lando.
I don't want your help. I want my lamp back.
I don't...
I feel cold...
I feel like
I feel terrible.
I feel the Force.
I finished my circle.
I had no choice.
I had no choice.
I had nothing to do with it.
I happen to like nice men.
I hate to lose you.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I have felt it.
I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.
I haven't got time for anything else.
I haven't seen him.
I hope you know what you're doing.
I just don't understand why we can't see Yoda now.
I just got this bucket back together.
I knew all along. It had to be a mistake.
I know what you mean.
I know! I know!
I know.
I like the sound of that.
I love you.
I mean you no harm.
I merely commented that it was freezing in the princess's chamber.
I must have hit pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh, kid?
I must tell the others.
I need?
I never doubted you for a second.
I promise.
I promise.
I really don't see how that's going to help.
I saw 'em! I saw 'em!
I saw... I saw a city in the clouds.
I see it, Wedge. Good work.
I see it. I see it.
I shall assume full responsibility for losing them and apologize to Lord Vader.
I take it back.
I think it might be better
I think Master Luke is in considerable danger.
I think we'd better replace the negative power coupling.
I think we're in trouble.
I think we've got something, sir.
I think you just can't bear to let a gorgeous guy like me out of your sight.
I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me.
I thought you had decided to stay.
I thought you knew this person.
I trusted them!
I turned it off. I don't want to talk to her.
I understand.
I want every ship available to sweep the asteroid field until they are found.
I want proof, not leads.
I want that ship, not excuses.
I want to check it out. It won't take long.
I will not be quiet. Why doesn't anyone listen to me?
I will.
I won't fail you.
I wouldn't be in this ridiculous position.
I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee!
I'd like to keep it on manual control for a while.
I'll be back.
I'll come right back and give you a hand.
I'll cover for you.
I'll get her out on the Falcon. Come on.
I'll get my people to work on her.
I'll have a look around.
I'll have to cut in the auxiliary.
I'll meet you at the rendezvous point on Tatooine.
I'll neverjoin you!
I'm a dead man.
I'm a nice man.
I'm afraid there's not much left.
I'm afraid you'll have to replace it.
I'm backwards,
I'm beginning to agree with you.
I'm glad you're here to tell us these things.
I'm going in closer to one of the big ones.
I'm going out there.
I'm going to put all power in the front shield.
I'm gonna need it to get out of this slimy mudhole.
I'm gonna shut down everything but the emergency power systems.
I'm gonna start the landing cycle.
I'm just setting a new course.
I'm just trying to help.
I'm looking for a great warrior.
I'm looking for a Jedi master.
I'm looking for someone.
I'm not a committee!
I'm not afraid.
I'm not going to let something tear it apart.
I'm not looking for a friend.
I'm not picking up any cities or technology.
I'm not really interested in your opinion.
I'm not supposed to know a power socket from a computer terminal.
I'm not trembling.
I'm sorry I couldn't do better,
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm sorry, am I interrupting anything?
I'm sorry, too.
I'm sorry.
I'm standing here in pieces,
I'm sure he's forgotten about that.
I'm terribly sorry about all this.
I'm the administrator of this facility.
I'm trying to reach Lando Calrissian.
I've been hit!
I've done all I can.
I've found them.
I've got to go to them.
I've had labor difficulties.
I've had supply problems of every kind.
I've isolated the reverse power flux coupling.
I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever.
If he could be turned,
If he even exists.
If he survived the freezing process, that is.
If I don't pay off Jabba the Hutt,
If I may say so, sir, I noticed earlier the hyperdrive motivator has been damaged.
If once you start down the dark path,
If only you'd attached my legs,
If the Millennium Falcon went into light speed it'll be on the other side of the galaxy by now.
If they follow standard imperial procedure,
If we followed up every lead
If you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did,
If you choose to face Vader,
If you end your training now,
If you honor what they fight for... yes.
If you leave now, help them you could,
If you only knew the power of the dark side.
If you're saying coming here was a bad idea,
If your people fixed the hyperdrive.
Im trbly srry.
Imperial troops have entered the base.
Imperial troops have entered—[Static]
Imperial walkers on the north ridge.
Impossible man.
Impressive.
In you must go.
Is strong with the dark side of the Force.
Is the dark side stronger?
It can wait.
It could be an imperial code.
It could be smugglers
It could mean anything.
It doesn't feel like rock.
It is the future you see.
It is the only way.
It is time to eat as well.
It is useless to resist.
It is you and your abilities the emperor wants.
It is your destiny.
It isn't friendly, whatever it is.
It isn't friendly, whatever it is.
It might.
It sounds like Han.
It's a good bet the Empire knows we're here.
It's a trap!
It's all right.
It's always been a danger that looms like a shadow over everything we've built.
It's fixed!
It's going to be difficult to spot approaching ships.
It's impossible to go to light speed.
It's like... something out of a dream or...
It's Luke.
It's metal.
It's not fair.
It's not my fault!
It's not my fault.
It's our only hope.
It's possible he came through the south entrance.
It's possible? Why don't you go find out?
It's really a strange place to find a Jedi master.
It's risky, but we can't hold out much longer.
It's the price you pay for being successful.
It's Vader.
Its energy surrounds us...
Join me, and I will complete your training.
Judge me by my size, do you?
Just hang on.
Just hang on. Hang on, Dak.
Just hang on. We're almost there.
Just like new, Dak. How about you?
Just open the door, you stupid lump!
Lando conned somebody out of it.
Lando system?
Lando, open the top hatch.
Lando?
Lando.
Lando's not a system. He's a man. Lando Calrissian.
Laugh it up, fuzzball,
Launch patrol.
Leia: What about Han?
Leia!
Leia!
Leia.
Leia.
Leia.
Let go, please.
Let go. Shh!
Let's get out of here!
Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
Let's see now.
Life creates it,
Like his father.
Like we're being watched!
Listen, friend, we didn't mean to land in that puddle.
Look out!
Look what's happened to me.
Look, don't worry. Everything's going to be fine.
Look, I'm sure it's delicious.
Look, someone's up there.
Look!
Looking?
Looks like you managed to keep me around for a little while longer.
Lord Vader, our ships have completed their scan of the area and found nothing.
Lord Vader, ship approaching, X wing class.
Lord Vader, we only use this facility for carbon freezing.
Lord Vader.
Lord Vader.
Lord Vader.
Lord Vader.
Loud and clear, kid. What's up?
Luke,
Luke, I don't want to lose you to the emperor the way I lost vader.
Luke, I have no approach vector. I'm not set.
Luke, it is your destiny.
Luke, we're ready for takeoff.
Luke, you must complete the training.
Luke!
Luke!
Luke! Luke, don't, it's a trap!
Luke.
Luke.
Luke.
Luke.
Luke. Lord Vader set a trap for him.
Luminous beings are we,
Make ready to land our troops beyond their energy field
Makes it grow.
Massive life form readings, though.
Master Luke, sir, it's so good to see you fully functional again.
Master Yoda, I promise to return and to finish what I've begun.
Master, moving stones around is one thing.
Matters are worse.
May the Force be with you.
Maybe I'm just going crazy.
Meanwhile, continue to scan the area.
Might I have a word with you, please?
Mind what you have learned. Save you it can.
Mine, or I will help you not.
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Mistress Leia, R2 says he's been quite unable to pick up any signals,
Mm...
Mmm...
Mmmm. Take you to him I will.
Most impressive.
Mostly because of my father, I guess.
Move the ship out of the asteroid field so that we can send a clear transmission.
Mudhole? Slimy?
My facilities are at your...
My friend.
My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?
My home this is
My lord, the fleet has moved out of light speed.
My lord, there are so many uncharted settlements.
My lord, we have them.
My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained.
My—
Mynocks.
Never for attack.
Never his mind on where he was,
Never tell me the odds!
Nice of you guys to drop by.
No disintegrations.
No light speed?
No one has seen or knows anything about 3 PO.
No ship that small has a cloaking device.
No sign of life out there, General.
No time to discuss this in committee!
No, 3 PO's with them.
No, Captain. They're alive.
No, I don't have a landing permit.
No, I'm not gonna change my mind about this.
No, no problem.
No, no! No.
No, no.
No, no. There is no why.
No, not actually. Our operation is small enough not to be noticed.
No, please don't get up.
No, R2, you stay put.
