Then we started to shake

What the hell I said

What's going on? I asked as I held cracking Jane

Priscilla holds the twins

Our position's correct, except no Alderaan

What do you mean? Where is it? I asked

That's what I'm trying to tell you, kid it ain't there, it's been blown away

What? How?

Destroyed by the empire

The entire Starfleet couldn't destroy the whole planet

It'd take a thousand ships with more firepower than I've

Then the console started to beep

There's another ship coming in

Maybe they know what happened

It's an imperial fighter

It followed us

No, it's a short range fighter

There aren't any bases around here, where did it come from?

Sure is leaving in a big hurry, if they identify us, we're in trouble

Not if I can help it, chewie, jam its transmission

Here hold sunny he said to obi wan

Let it go, it's too far out of range

Not for long

A fighter that size couldn't get this deep into space on its own

He must have gotten lost, been part of a convoy or something

He ain't gonna be around long enough to tell anybody about us

Look at him, he's heading for that small moon

I think I can get him before he gets there, he's almost in range

That's no moon

It's a space station

It's too big to be a space station

That looks like one junior said

What the chaos is that? Jessica asked

Chaos means hell

Jessica Iris solo, watch your language han said to her

Sorry

I have a very bad feeling about this

Turn the ship around

Yeah, I think you're right, full reverse

Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power

Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power

Why are we still moving towards it? I asked

We're caught in a tractor beam, it's pulling us in

There's gotta be something you can do

There's nothing I can do, kid, I'm at full power, I have to shut down

They're not gonna get me without a fight

You can't win, but there are alternatives to fighting

Then we got close to it

Shit I said

Then han took baby Sunny

We hid

I was scared

Then I felt someone taking my hand

It was junior

Breath he mouthed

Then han took to my other hand

He rubbed my hand

Then they left

Boy, it's lucky you have these compartments

Yeah that how I play hide and seek junior said

Yeah and you give a god damn heart attack

I use them for snuggling, I never thought I'd be snuggling myself in 'em

This is ridiculous

Even if I could take off, I'd never get past the tractor beam

Leave that to me

Damn fool, I knew you were gonna say that

Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

Then Jessica grabbed sunny

Then they came down and we started to attack

Then we left

Then chewie attacked the guy

Han held sunny

Between his howling and your blasting everything, it's a wonder the whole station doesn't know we're here

Bring 'em on, I prefer a straight fight to all this sneakin' around

We've found the computer outlet, sir

Plug in, he should be able to interpret the entire imperial network

He says he's found the controls to the power beam that's holding the ship here

He'll try to make the precise location appear on the monitor

Then the screen went on

The tractor beam is coupled to the main reactor in seven locations

A power loss at one of the terminals will allow the ship to leave

I don't think you boys and girls  can help, I must go alone

Whatever you say, I've done more than I bargained for on this trip already

I want to go with you

Same I said

Be patient, Luke and Tamika, stay and watch over the droids

Be they can-

They must be delivered safely or other star systems will suffer the same Fate as Alderaan

Your destiny lies along a different path from mine

The force will be with you two

Always

Then he left
