Then shall we try and go around the side?LukeIt will take time.Han—And all shall be for naughtIf we are seen. Yet I do have a plan:Chewbacca and myself shall handle this.Ye both stay here.Luke—But prithee, soft, good Han.Be quiet, for there may be others near.HanThy words unnecessary are—’tis me![Han Solo and Chewbacca move toward the
Imperial scouts.
Now shall I move in stealth to take them in,Then take them out. With catlike tread I step,Ne’er to be notic’d till my prey is mine,Then I—alack! A twig snaps underfoot![Imperial Scouts 1 and 2 turn toward the sound and see Han Solo and Chewbacca.
Scout 1What is that sound? Alas, ’tis rebels, go!And warn our comrades quickly.Luke—Let us fly![Han fights with Imperial Scout 1. Imperial
Scout 2 boards his speeder bike to fly away but is shot by Chewbacca. Imperial Scouts 3 and 4 jump on their speeder bikes and fly away.
LeiaBehold the two scouts speed from out our grasp!Upon the instant I shall give them chase.LukePray, Leia, patience—straight I come with thee![Luke and Leia board a speeder bike behind Imperial Scouts 3 and 4, in pursuit. Exeunt Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2 in the melee.

ChorusDo not our play too harshly judge, dear friends,For with imagination may you see:Into the forest now the fight extendsOn speeder bikes that whip ’twixt tree and tree.What haste their dauntless riders undergoAs they fly swiftly past both brush and stumps!The rapid derring-do our scene doth show,And when ’tis over, some shall have their lumps.[Exit chorus.
LukeJam thou their comlink, center switch!Leia—’Tis done!LukeCanst thou yet closer go? Pray, pull asideThe one before us. Now I jump aboardHis bike, and he is mine and I’m for him.[Luke throws Imperial Scout 3 from his speeder bike, and Imperial Scout 3 dies.
EnterIMPERIAL SCOUTS 5 and 6 on speeder bikes.
Aye, he is gone, but others take his place!Good Leia, follow that one up ahead.I shall remain behind, to face these two.Leia’Tis well. Be safe, and I shall see thee soon.Luke[ aside:] O sister, all my thanks for tender words.[Luke falls behind, alongside Imperial Scouts 5 and 6.
Now shall this bike’s keen blaster find its mark!I shoot, and one is dead; the other next.[Luke shoots and kills Imperial Scout 6.
LeiaI shall fly high o’er this one’s bike, that heMay think that I have fled. Then shall I fromAbove make my attack. Ha! Now besideHis bike, surprise is my sure strategy.[Imperial Scout 4 shoots at Leia.
Alas! My bike is hit, and off I fall!
