O strange and somber night that falleth here—My master Luke all out of sorts from whatHe spies inside this hole. What lesson isIt Yoda hath reveal’d to him inside?I would that I my master could protect,But such is not the role I have to play.And thus, since I may not protector be,My path shall be to play the fool and watch:I shall maintain my droidlike silence andBear witness as the boy becomes the man,The learner doth become the Jedi true.Content yourself with this, R2, and rest,For other times than these require your best.[Exit.

EnterADMIRAL PIETTandIMPERIAL CONTROLLER, withDARTH VADERandBOUNTY HUNTERS, includingBOBA FETT, aside, aboard the Super Star Destroyer.
PIETTThese bounty hunters, O they reek! We haveNo need for their most wretched scum.CONTROL.—Aye, Sir.PIETTThe rebels surely shall not ’scape us now.CONTROL.We have been hail’d by the Avenger ship.PIETTNow let us hear it.VADER—There shall be rewardsAplenty for the one who finds the swiftMillenn’um Falcon. Ye may use whate’erApproaches, weapons, means, or what ye will,But mark ye well: I want them all alive.[To Boba Fett:] There shall be no disintegrations. Clear?FETTAs you wish. [Aside:] The darkest Sith that e’er did live, and I am his choice to find those he cannot. Yet who am I? A mere bounty hunter like the others here? Nay, far more. I am Boba Fett, the vilest, fiercest, most deadly hunter in the galaxy. More than that, Darth Vader knows that I shall serve him well and faithfully in the pursuit of Solo. He knoweth well that Boba Fett doth worship at sweet compensation’s throne, and would happily betray my own kin to earn the great reward that hath been promis’d. I would kill Solo without a thought, for what is he to me? Disintegrations, indeed. I would disintegrate, disembowel, dismember, destroy utterly Han Solo, for I know him not nor care what he hath done to earn Darth Vader’s ire and the scorn of Jabba of the Hutt. I shall play my bounty hunter’s part, obey the dark lord, take my prize from the Empire, and receive a second prize on the dunes of Tatooine. A double prize—’tis wonderful a bounty hunter to be.
PIETT[to Darth Vader:] My Lord, the ship hath been discoverèd![Exeunt Darth Vader, Boba Fett, other bounty hunters, Admiral Piett, and Imperial Controller.
EnterHAN SOLO, CHEWBACCA, PRINCESS LEIA, and C-3PO aboard the Millennium Falcon.

Chewbacca, art prepar’dFor lightspeed?CHEWBAC.—Auugh!HAN—Now one, two, three, and go![The Millennium Falcon makes a sound and fails.
CHEWBAC.Egh.HAN—’Tis not fair. I say, it is not just!
C-3PO[aside:] A hero, did I say? O man of folly!CHEWBAC.Auugh, auugh!HAN—The transfer circuits do not work’Tis not my fault!LEIA—No lightspeed once again?HAN’Tis not my fault. In troth, ’tis not my fault!C-3PO
