HOPELESS SITUATION RETURN: SCENE 21: THE SURPRISE ATTACK

(Such as playing Anader theme)

Lord Bader has taken The Gospel of Luke to the throne room aboard the Station Wagon II. The West Emperor greets him with malice barely hidden beneath fake politeness.

	WEST EMPEROR: Welcome, young Skywalker.) I'll wait for you. It's not working.

With a flick of his hand, the West Emperor undoes The Gospel of Luke's handcuffs.

	WEST EMPEROR: Guards, leave us.

(Scattered)

The guards leave the room (their most memorable action in the film, sadly.) The West Emperor adresses The Gospel of Luke directly, staring fiercly at him.

	WEST EMPEROR: I'm looking forward to it. To complete your training. You will call me back.

The Gospel of Luke doesn't let himself get intimidated, though. He remains defiant, even cocky. The West Emperor smugly replies with a line he had clearly saved for Dada.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: It 's a very important thing to do," he said. It 's not the only thing that' s going to happen to you.
				In 2010, he was appointed as a member of the board of Directors of the University of California, Berkeley.

	WEST EMPEROR: Oh, no... my little grandpa. You will find it, You're wrong.. A lot of good.

Lord Bader interjects, handing the West Emperor something. This pleases the D. The Gospel of Luke remains defiant.

	LORD BADER: His lightsaber.

	WEST EMPEROR: In addition, Dyedi armor. Just like your father. Now you need to know about the father. You can't get rid of the dark side. So come to you.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: between the violence of. He died in 1999 at the age of 86.. In 1999, he was a member of the board of directors of the University of California, Los Angeles.

(Terrible smile.)

	WEST EMPEROR: Maybe you said, Your Rebel fleet is about to attack. So ... I'm sure we're safe. These are my friends.

The Gospel of Luke tries to give a smug diss to the West Emperor, who responds with a bitter retort.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: A na ta over the letter. It 's not the first time I' ve seen it.

	WEST EMPEROR: Your friends too faith.

	LORD BADER: It 's not just a matter of taste, it' s a matter of private interest.

More smug than ever, the West Emperor tells his prisoner his entire, devious plan.

	WEST EMPEROR: Everything that happened. I did this according to my advice. Your friends know. Up to a month... I was set up., Like a rebel fleet. I'm the one who allows the league. Let them know.
			Shield generator. It's very safe. The weak key. Annihilated. My best army is waiting for them.

The West Emperor's voice goes soft with mocking belittlement.

	WEST EMPEROR: Oh, I'm afraid of rough Shields... This is very actionable When your friends come.

Meanwhile, the strike team barges into the bunker. Mr. Thoreau points a gun at the officers and yells orders at them.

	MR. THOREAU: roll! mobile! bring it on! Rapid land. Rapid land. Chewie!

(Rapid growth)

(G)

Leah tells him to hurry up with the operation, which he does enthusiastically.

	PRINCESS LEAH: Hankai! Fleet resident in the capital!

	MR. THOREAU: Revenue expenses! Good luck! Good luck!

(CHEWIE ROARS)

Blow the Skin and Wicket are shocked to see a small group of Imperials enter the bunker.

	BLOW THE SKIN: Tenba! Captured by another person!

	WICKET: The Oracle! Like Annie!

Things only get worse when Wicket runs off, apparently on the hunt for... comfort food?

	BLOW THE SKIN: Equal wait! Come around!

	WICKET: Snacks!

	BLOW THE SKIN: R2, Zai Yi Qi!

(Soft beep beep)

	COLONEL DYER: Stop!

Colonel Dyer - played by sound designer Ben Burtt in a brief cameo - tries to stop the attack by pointing a gun at Mr. Thoreau.

(Grunts)

(Screaming)

Dyer falls off the ledge (revealing his first name to be Wilhelm) after getting a projectile thrown in his face. However, another officer appears with a squadron of ST ER ORMTROOPS, uttering an immortal line.

	LIEUTENANT RENZ: You are a garbage challenge!

(CHEWIE admiration)

(Annoyance)

Back in space, the Reebl Fleet have gone out of Super Space and reached their target.

(Amazing music throwing)

	LANG CALIFORNIA: Report on the location of Organic Wings.

	WEDGE ANTILLES: Red sleeve long-awaited.

	GRAY SLEEVE: Gray sleeve long-awaited.

	GREEN SLEEVE: Green sleeve long-awaited.

	WEDGE ANTILLES: Set S type foil single chain standing attack position.

Onboard the Home One, Navy Admiral Akbarji prays that the attack will be successful.

	NAVY ADMIRAL AKBARJI: Coexistence with the amount of desire.

However, Nien Numb is getting some worrying readings on his screen. Lang doesn't understand how that could be possible.

	NIEN NUMB: Eee muhte veechu Mee rah ah M Tee Ah You.

	LANG CALIFORNIA: Indispensable Noh. Shield Shield in Japan ... Improvement or downturn.

	NIEN NUMB: Archeology. He said yesterday.

	LANG CALIFORNIA: Others Nyoka and other ignorant roads?! ...I'm a kid.

Having come to this great realization, Lang yells at his army to abort the attack. Wedge seems doubtful, but Lang insists.

	LANG CALIFORNIA: Stop advance! Protective improvement!

	WEDGE ANTILLES: A self-explanatory book? Are you Confirmed?

	LANG CALIFORNIA: Abduction! Owned craftsman abduction!

The ships all avoid collision with the station. (Seen here is also a pretty big coninuity error where most of the fighters disappear between shots. Rumor has it that originally, all of them wouldn't make it.)

(Distribution of drama music)

	NAVY ADMIRAL AKBARJI: Collecting avoidance behavior! Green group, Tightening holding section MV-7!

	CALAMARY LIEUTENANT: Admiral, self-employed 47 enemy troops!

Navy Admiral Akbarji is shocked by this, and utters a line which will live on in the myths of ages.

	NAVY ADMIRAL AKBARJI: A booby trap!

In the distance, the Rebel fleet see a rapidly approaching Imperial fleet.

	LANG CALIFORNIA: Fighter aircraft advance.

	GRAY TWO: Ryo Taita!

	LANG CALIFORNIA: Speed up the offensive music! Attract their fire!

	WEDGE ANTILLES: Duplicate, gold sword leader!

The Rebel fleet arches forward, steering right toward the Imperial armada.
