SPACEA vast sea of stars is broken as the warm, amber surfaceof the planet, UTAPAU, emerges from a total eclipse. Fivesmall moons slowly drift into view from the far side ofthe planet. The MAIN TITLE is followed by a ROLL-UP:The REPUBLIC GALACTICA is dead. Ruthlesstrader barons, driven by greed and thelust for power, have replaced enlightenmentwith oppression, and "rule by the people"with the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE.Until the tragic Holy Rebellion of "06",the respected JEDI BENDU OF ASHLA were themost powerful warriors in the Universe.For a hundred thousand years, generationsof Jedi Bendu knights learned the ways ofthe mysterious FORCE OF OTHERS, and actedas the guardians of peace and justice inthe REPUBLIC. Now these legendary warriorsare all but extinct. One by one they havebeen hunted down and destroyed by a fero-cious rival sect of mercenary warriors:THE BLACK KNIGHIS OF THE SITH.It is a period of civil wars. The EMPIREis crumbling into lawless barbarism through-out the million worlds of the galaxy. Fromthe celestial equator to the farthestreaches of the GREAT RIFT, seventy smallsolar systems have united in a common waragainst the tyranny of the Empire. Underthe command of a mighty Jedi warrior knownas THE STARKILLER, the REBEL ALLIANCE haswon a crushing victory over the deadlyImperial Star Fleet. The Empire knows thatone more such defeat will bring a thousandmore solar systems into the rebellion, andImperial control of the Outlands could belost forever...A tiny silver space craft races from behind one of thelifeless Utapau moons. The small rebel spacefighter isbeing chased by four giant Imperial stardestroyers. Hun-dreds of deadly laser bolts streak from the Imperialwarships as they dive on the smaller craft.Every few moments, the little rebel ship returns the fire,until one of the Imperial battlewagons explodes, causingit to fall out of formation. The three remaining star-destroyers continue the pursuit.2. INT. REBEL SPACEFIGHTER - LASER GUN TURRETThe two elaborate laser gun turrets belch a smoky exhaustas the gun crews, wearing heat-protective suits, gogglssand breath masks, cheer and congratulate each other on thedirect hit. The gunnery CHIEF finishes speaking into hishelmet "com-link", and yells to the crew.CHIEFI don't know what you boys areso cheery about; there are stillthree more out there.The crews snap-to, and turn back to their giant guns. Sev-eral stubby, three-legged ROBOTS scurry to and fro, bring-ing equipment, and repairing damage to sections of theturrets.3. INT. REBEL SPACEFIGHTER - MAIN PASSAGEWAYThe chaos of battle echoes through the narrow, main passage-way of the starfighter. An explosion rocks the ship, andtwo construction robots, ARTOO DETOO (R2-D2) and SEE THREEPIO(C-3PO) struggle to make their way through the shaking,bouncing passageway. Both robots are old and battered.Artoo is a short (36 inches), claw-armed, tri-ped. His faceis a mass of computer lights, surrounding a radar eye.Threepio, on the other hand, is a tall, slender robot ofhuman prooortions. He has a gleaming bronze-like metallicsurface of an "Art Deco" design.THREEPIOArtoo, my friend, this is madness!If this keeps up, we're going tobe destroyed. I'm afraid I'm stillnot accustomed to space travel...What are we to do?The little dwarf robot makes a series of electronic soundsthat only a robot could understand.THREEPIO (CONT'D)Relax?!?...What do you mean we'rein no immediate danger??! You'refaulty, this is madness!Artoo gives his tall companion a sheepish computer blinkand starts off down the hallway. .THREEPIO (CONT'D)Artoo Detoo, wait! Wait aminute.Threepio climbs through a hatch and starts after Artoo.4. EXT. SPACE BATTLEOne of the giant Imperial Stardestroyers breaks formationand surges ahead of the others, closing on the tiny rebelspace craft. The main battery of laser cannons on thehuge Imperial warship directs an overwhelming concentra-tion or laser fire at the main solar fin on the rebelship.Finally it disintegrates, creating a spectacular heavenlydisplay.5. INT. REBEL SPACEFIGHTER - POWER SECTIONA sudden pressure change sucks equipment and debris throughthe power section of the spacefighter. Alarms are sound-ing everywhere. The spaceship shudders under the impactof the Imperial barrage. Artoo and Threepio are blown,slipping and sliding across the hallway floor into a stackof freight canisters. The lanky Threepio becomes lodgedunder a computer console.THREEPIOI'm dead!...I told you thiswould happen. Artoo, I can'tmove.Little Artoo waddles over to his trapped companion. Heclears away several mangled canisters and climbs under thesparking and smoking computer. He is chattering away inan elaborate combination of whistles, beeps and clicks.THREEPIO (CONT'D)Oh my, I think something ismelting. Artoo Detoo, this isall your fault...I should haveknown better than to listen toa half-pint thermo-astroniccapulary dehousing - assister.You're truly faulty.Artoo counters with a rather angry rebuttal as he strugglesto pull the larger robot free from the small leg space underthe computer console. Two MEN hurriedly enter the powerstation and begin checking the damage. The robots can onlysee the humans' legs as they pass to and fro in front ofthe desk-like console; but they recognize the voice of theircaptain: DEAK STARKILLER.THREEPIO (CONT'D)Shhh, it's the captain...The captain's FIRST OFFICER pops his head under the consoleand sees Artoo straining to free Threepio.
