LUKEAlas, poor Zev. Too many lost—such goodAnd worthy men have met their end to theseConfounded walkers. Fie! This battle bleakMay mean Rebellion’s end. ’Tis now my turn—My ship hath ta’en a hit. I fall, yet amNot slain. Indeed, though here I lie uponThe ground, I spy an opportunity.For while this awful monster walks above,I spy his weakness as I lie below.He passes just beyond me—now to it!Revenge should have no bounds when friends are slain,And now their memory doth push me on.My lightsaber shall strike the lethal blow;I’ll hit where he shall feel it, in his heart—If ever such cruel beast did have a heart.[Luke strikes AT-AT 3 from below, and AT-AT 3 dies.
AT-AT 3I perish, comrade true, but fall with pride!AT-AT 2Although my fellow AT-ATs meet their ends,I press toward my goal with purpose firm.The rebels’ power generator isWithin the target of my lasers keen.Now all the fallen AT-ATs I saluteAs for my noble Emperor I shoot![He shoots and destroys the power generator. Exeunt all, in confusion.
