That's it I'm turning back.

I know your family's waiting.

I know it's an important day.

All right. We'll give it a try. I'll set
short coordinates

we won't jump far.

I'll get you back there in time, pal.
Trust me.

Our only hope now, is to outrun that
Imperial garbage scow, tho'.

I'm going
to lightspeed.

That's the spirit! You'll be celebrating
Life Day before you know it!

Standby, here's where we say goodbye to our
unpleasant friends.

A long time ago in a galaxy
far far away...

NO STARSHIPS IN AREA

What's that?

Oh, Artoo, look.
It's Chewbacca's family.

Here, keep working on it.

Hello Malla, Itchy.

Hiya Lumpy.

Where's Chewbacca?

Whoa, wait a minute! One at a time.

Yeah...

Not now, Artoo.

Uh, wait a minute, I don't like the
looks of this. Let me get this fixed.

Oh, Artoo, you're supposed to be
watching that...

There, that ought to hold it.
I think.

What's up?

Chewbacca...

Yeah, well, bring him to the screen.
I want to say hello to him.

You don't know where he is?

Oh, he's not there yet. Is that it?

Oh boy.

Well, all I can tell you is that,
uh, he and Han left here on schedule.

If he's not there now, they're way overdue.

There must've been trouble.

Artoo, please, this is important.

Now, now listen. Calm down.
I mean...

you know how Han and
Chewbacca are anything

could've happened - they could've, they
could've stopped off somewhere,

or been held up by an asteroid storm.

Listen,

I wouldn't worry about Chewbacca, I know
him and he hasn't missed a Life Day yet,
right?

Well, there you go! He's not going to
miss this one either.

It's just taking
him a little longer to get there, that's
all. He'll make it.

Come on, don't look so worried.

Now, Chewie's not gonna wanna come home
to a house full of long faces, is he?

Come on, Malla.
Let's see a little smile.

Come on...

There, that's better.

Try to enjoy your Life Day.

I gotta get back to this engine.
I think we might have it solved.

OH! ARTOO!
What are you doing?!

What are you doing?!

Oh no...

It's alright. Nobody's perfect.

TRADING POST WOOKIEE PLANET C

Hello, an Imperial Guard.

I suppose you
want to see my identification.

No, I'm off duty. I've come to look around
your shop.

Well, good, good, good.

Look around,
browse around, make yourself at home...

As you can see I've got just about
everything a man or wookiee would want.

Oh here,

let me show you this; I really
love this.

No...

Ah, here we are. Here it is.

A pocket sized aquarium.

Wonderful, isn't it?

And, you can take it with you anywhere.

And the tank is a snap to clean.

I hate fish.

Well, so do I, as a matter of fact.

I take a drink once and a while,

but I just thought I'd show you some
of the stupid stuff those wookiees
purchase from me.

Oh, here...

Here's a hot little item that seems to be
moving pretty rapidly these days.

Excuse me, I got a wall screen customer.

Good to see you again.

Don't worry Malla.

I know just why you're
calling.

You're wondering when that
shaggy carpet you ordered will arrive at
your home.

Let me assure you madam,
it's on its way.

You know, it was made especially for you
by a little old woman four planets away.

She did it all by herself.

In fact, you
might say she did it by Han...Solo.

Tho' it's going to take some time to get
to you.

I know you'll understand.

You understand don't you?

Terrific!

By the way, I'll be by later to
drop off that extra proton energy pack.

You're welcome.

What's a matter?
Don't you like this?

It's just a groomer.

- Just a groomer?
- A groomer..

Just a groomer, you say?

It's a lot more than that.

Evidently, you haven't read the
instructions, the warranty, and the
guarantee.

... besides shaving and hair trimming.
It's guaranteed to lift stains off
clothing, faces, and hands.

Cleans teeth, fingers, and toenails.

Washes eyes, pierces ears, calculates,
modulates, and syncopates like rhythms

and can repeat the entire Imperial Code,
all 17 volumes,

in half the time of the
old XP-21.

Just the thing to keep you squeaky clean.

I use one of these all the time.

Really?

Well, not all the time,

but some of the time.

Oh, another outstanding, uh, feature
of this little model

you can recharge it by simply plugging it into
any ordinary laser outlet.

I'll take it.

Good! I thought you would.

Well, would you
like to pay me something

for it or give me
something in trade?

I said I'll take it!

That's a load off my mind.

I thought I
might embarrass

you when I told you it was a gift.

I don't like embarrassing people

I don't like being embarrassed
myself that's why I,

uh, don't like to embarrass people.

I just said that....

just a groomer...

We've ordered a blockade and a curfew.

And, started a search operation.

It's just a matter of time
before we find the Rebels.

I want the Rebels located and identified.

If it means searching every household in
the system.

Hello...

Today we are going to be preparing
a very succulent dish
called "Bantha Surprise."

It's not only a very hearty, nourishing
dish,

but it's very economical, too.

So all those hungry mouths in your household
will be going

"yummy yum for their tummy tum."

If you just follow along with me as
I prepare this popular favorite.

Now, today

I'm going to be using the
tenderest cut of the bantha: the loin.

The loin is very tasty and serves four
nicely.

But, of course, if your family
has a hearty appetite,

I would suggest then that old popular
holiday favorite: The Bantha Rump.

Um, very tender.

Ah, we just slice into
bite-sized pieces.

And only you know the size of a bite in
your family!

Oh! Alright,

now it's time to put our
chunks

into our pots.

Nicely... nicely...

Add a dash of negavo.

Umm, very good.

A sprig of celentery.

Umm, umm, just a bit of
turshum, always nice.

And, uh. Um! Turshum is nice!

And, just a little whisper of chelchum.

Ah, looking very nice.

Guess what I forgot?

A bit of the
calarantrum root!

Wonderful! Just adds
that touch of piquancy.

There we go.

Very nice. Um!

Now we add enough liquid
to cover.

And guess what we're ready for now:

the cooking! Step one

we stir the mixture.

Stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir,

stir, stir, stir, stir, very nice.

Now, step two while we're stirring, we
also whip.

So it's stir, whip, stir, whip, whip,
whip, stir,

stir, whip, stir, whip, whip,
whip, stir.

Now, let's try it again together at
an increased tempo

because precision is very
important in this recipe and we do
want a fine consistency, don't we?

So, and on the count of one

stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir,
stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir.

Come on, faster altogether now. Cooking
can be fun.

Stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir,
stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir.

Wah! Having fun, having fun, alright.
Having it all nicely, now.

Step three we also have to beat.

So it's: beat, beat, beat, stir, whip,
stir, whip, beat, beat, stir

That's not
right. I'm sorry.

Stir, whip, stir, whip,
whip, whip, stir, beat, stir, whip, stir,
whip, whip, whip, stir, beat.

Coming...
coming along nicely. Mmmm, starting to
have a fine aroma.

Whew, caught it just in time.

Now at this
time, I usually like to taste the broth.

So, we'll have a little taste and see how
it's coming along.

Mmmm, a little bit more turshum. A bit
negavo. A little tunkell.

One for the pot,

Hum! Coming along

Very nice.

Oh, wonderful! Coming along nicely...

Alright....

Alright, the coordinates weren't the best.

Out of the frying pan into the fryer, huh
pal?

How should I know we'd come outta
hyperspace into the middle of an Imperial
convoy.

At least against these fighters
we got more of a chance.

However slim...

You can say that again.

This is one Life
Day we won't soon forget.

Wait,

I lost control of the remote cannons.

I'm gonna hafta run back and operate the
aft gun manually. Stay on things here.

Why do I always think that taking you
home for Life Day's gonna be easy?

Attention all viewers.

Due to suspected Rebel activity on the
Kashyyyk planet

the Empire has declared
martial law.

A blockade has been set up
around the planet

No ships will be permitted to land
or take off until further notice.

It's me Saundan.

Hi, Itchy.

I brought you that proton pack.
You know, for the, uh, the whatsis

the whatchamalcalit, the, the thingamabob,

the mind evaporator.
That's it, the mind evaporator.

Boy am I glad to see you folks.

How are my favorite wookiees today?

Why all the long hairy faces?

I made it through the Imperial
patrol, didn't I?

If I made it, Chewie and Han will.

Is this all the big hello I get?

I brought you somethin' special short
stuff.

You want it?

You got it.

Happy Life Day.

I love to make a wookiee happy.

And now, for the lovely lady of the house.

Happy Life Day.

Now wait a, wait a minute, not so fast.

What does an old friend get?

Well?

That's more like it.

Itchy, I know what you'd like.

I'll insert this proton pack.

Now then Itchy,

I thought you might like
this. It's one of those uh...

oh, it's a real...

it's kinda hard to explain...

WOW,

if you know what I mean.

Put that right in there.

And I do mean happy Life Day.

I know you're searching for me.

Searching, searching... I'm here.

My voice is for you alone.

I am found in your eyes only.

I exist for you alone.

I am in your mind

as you create me.

Oh, yes... I can feel my creation.

I'm getting your message.
Are you getting mine?

Oh, oh... We are excited, aren't we?

Well, just relax. Just relax.

Yes...a little more.

Now, we can have a
good time, can't we?

I'll tell you a secret,

I find you adorable.

I'll tell you a secret,

I find you adorable.

I find you adorable.

I find you adorable.

I don't need to ask how you find me.

You see, I am your fantasy.

I am your experience.

So experience me.

I am your pleasure.

Enjoy me.

This is our moment together in time

that we might turn this
moment into an eternity.

If we could only bend this minute.

Infinitely extend this minute.

Then I could live my whole
life right now.

Reality is sweet this minute.

Can't we repeat and repeat
this minute?

Why can't it always be right now?

I've parted with yesterday.

Yesterday's moment is cold.

All I ask is this moment to hold.

How can we ever lose this minute?

From all my life, I choose this minute.

I will give up the old and the new.

Sharing with you...

this minute now.

If I could just hold my breath and
close my eyes and not make a sound.

Will the universe stop going 'round?

Still the universe keeps going'round and 'round
and on and on and on and on and on.

A minute's almost gone.

How can we ever, ever lose
this minute?

From all my life, I choose
this minute.

I will never need anything
more than living for this minute now.

This
minute now.

This
minute now.

This minute....now.

Ah, I have made the connection.
You may speak now, if you wish.

Malla, it's good to see you.
Happy Life Day

Oh, she says it may be a happy Life Day
for you,

I... I don't want to tie up the channels.

So, could you do me a favor and send
either Chewbacca or Han Solo to the
screen please?

She says that she would like to grant your
request, but is quite unable to do so.

You mean they haven't arrived yet?

She says, there has been no contact.

Yes, I think I understand her message.

Oh, that Imperial patrol must be giving
them more trouble than we bargained for.

Malla, are, are you alone?

If, you would permit me.

No, she says she is not alone.
She's with a friend.

Could he come to the screen, please?

Good afternoon, ma'am.

I'm Saundan, a local trader.

A friend of the rebellion and a
member of the Alliance.

Good. Look, I know I can count on you to
take care of my friends until their leader
returns.

You'll do that for me, won't you?

Yes indeed, ma'am.
That's what I'm here for.

She is expressing her warmth
towards the trader.

Look, I can see you're in good hands,
Malla. I'll contact you again, soon.

Now then,

what's that I smell?

Oh, could it be some of those
famous wookiee ookiees?

I told you we'd make it. Did I ever let
you down?

I feel the same way about you too, pal.
And your family.

I've never seen so much Imperial traffic
in this system.

Better land on the north side. It'll be
safer there.

So, is a long walk.

Little exercise never hurts everybodie.

Happy Life Day, pal.

Sounds like a starship.

What I tell ya?
Must be Chewbacca now!

This unit is occupied by four wookiees.

Two adult males, one adult female, and
one male child.

Where is the other wookiee male?

Officer, uh, maybe I could be of some help
there, sir.

Who are you and what are you doing in this
wookiee house?

Oh, I'm a trader in this district.
You see, the uh,

uh the truth of the matter is she
had a terrible fight with her husband and
he just stormed right out.

Your identification.

I said it!

Your identification.

Oh, identification, yes.

It's a very important thing, identification.

I, I never leave the shop without my identification.

It's uh, it's very important,
just in times like this.

I just found my identification. I think
it's in my pocket.

Search the dwelling.

Officer, you may notice that little
leather case that I carry my
identification card in.

I whipped that up myself.
That's a pretty fast selling little item.

Uh... uh well, some people like to keep
things neat and clean and that's why uh,

I have the little leather case for the
identification card.

As a matter of fact, if any of you guys want a
couple of those leather cases. I've gotta couple
of extra ones here.

Oh, officer, that uh, that picture you're
looking at right now was taken quite a
few years ago.

That's uh, one of me. I've
gained quite a bit of weight since then.

Hello little guy.
Where's your daddy?

Hey, they have no respect for authority!

Excuse me. I beg your pardon.

Uh, maybe you know my brother's boy.
He's a member of the Imperial militia.

He must be 24 or 25 years old by know.
Good little guy...

Your identification is in order.
You can go now.

Thank you, thank you very much.

I just have a little more work to
finish up here and uh,

oh by the way, uh, while I'm
finishing up here uh, why don't you boys
uh, take it easy.

Relax. Put your feet up
and make yourself at home.

Wookiee food isn't the greatest...

but I'm sure I can whip something up
in the kitchen that we can all eat.

Uh, you don't mind do ya, Malla?

Malla will you come in the kitchen to
help me.

What are doing with that thing? That's a
very delicate piece of workmanship.

Alright Malla, it's alright.

The slightest jarring will mess up the
whole works.

If you're going to play
around with it let me show you how.

Relax, I gotta turn it on, don't I?

Just sit down and enjoy it.

Ok. Here we go.

Will you get on with it?

Okay, okay.

God, all dignified, if you want to.

What I would really like to know.

Will you light the sky on fire?

Will you light
tonight like you did the night before?

Hey! You could take me higher than the
diamonds in the sky.

Take me, light in
the sky and we'll vanish without a trace
and we'll see God then.

Temples and mirrors interest me.

Though all there
really is to know.

Will you light the sky on fire?

Will you light the sky on fire
again tonight?

You can take me higher
than the diamonds in the sky.

Take me, we'll vanish without a
trace and then we'll all see God then.

On the pyramids of the legend.

The great god Kopa Khan came
from the stars and vanished.

And the legends say he will come back again
someday

someday...

Will you light the sky on fire?

Will you light tonight like
you did the night before.

You can take me
higher than the diamonds in the sky.

Take me, light in the sky and we'll
vanish without a trace,

And then we'll see god then.

Yes, I would really like to know.

What I've been watching this for.

Yes, I would really like to know.

Will you light the sky on fire?

Will you light the sky
like you did the night before?

You could take me higher
than the diamonds in the
sky.

Take me, we'll vanish without a
trace. And we'll all see God then.

Vanish without a trace.

Vanish without a trace.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, let's
vanish without a trace.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, we'll
vanish without a trace.

I knew you'd like it.

Your work here is finished.
You may leave now.

I guess you're right. It's about all

I can do for now.
I hope you guys find what
you're looking for.

Keep up the good work.

Malla.

Itchy, please...

Alright, finish the search of the
residence.

Oh, I almost forgot. I want to leave you
my card in case you need any of uh, oh...

Okay, I'm leaving.

Investigate the upper area. Check for
any Rebel material.

Anything to connect
this household with the Alliance.

Oh, don't forget about those protective
cases for your identification card. I
gotta good item...

That's it, I'm gone.

Finish the search of the house. We have
other areas to cover today.

You! Take the upper area.

We don't want to have to hurt anyone.

That's not what we're here for.

But, when my men get angry I can't
always control them.

We are going to continue
our search.

Now keep him quiet

and I'll forget this ever happened.

Starlog 3-24-1 from the bridge of the
cruiser RS Reekvange, captain Kazan
reporting.

We are awaiting the return of
captain Han Solo and his first mate,
Chewbacca.

Who are long overdue on a
delicate mission to acquire the mystical
talisman,

which has been sought by our
forces and the Empire.

The talisman, it makes things invisible,
I think.

Yes, even you.

Which I think might be an
improvement.

We've picked up something.

It's the Millennium Falcon.

They're coming out of lightspeed. I can't
make contact.

Try a lower channel.

Falcon, do you copy? Come in Falcon.

It's Chewie. But where's Han?

That's him! Hanging upside down!

I can't make radio contact.

He's on a collision course. Princess,
we're in mortal danger from our own
forces.

Falcon, do you copy?

This is madness.

You're right General. I can't understand
what Chewbacca's doing.

Whatever he's doing, there must be a
reason.

Hold your fire.

We've lost all contact, sir.

Standby. The Falcon is near impact.

I'm going after them.

Luke, take Artoo with you.

What'd he say?

If something has happened to captain Solo
and Chewbacca is alone,

you will need me to interpret.

Sir, he's firing on us.

I know, but I don't think he means to hit
us. Chewie's a better shot than that.

Look, he's speeding up. We're losing him.

Not for long.

This is Y-4 to base. He's heading
straight for a moon in...

the Panos system.

Hang on Artoo.

What about me?
I'm going to shake apart!

We're approaching the water planet.

We're following Han and Chewie...

We've lost them.

Hang on, Threepio. We're going in.

Are you sure this is the best way, sir?

Master Luke, sir, are you all right?

Yes. How 'bout Artoo?

Our comlinks are out.
We can't contact the base.

Where are you going, sir?

To see if I can locate the Falcon by
visual sighting.

Maybe it's close by.

Artoo, stand by to fire the ejection pod.

And hurry Artoo or we'll be desert soon.

What is it, master Luke?

I'm not sure.

You saved my life. Thank you.

You are alone?

I have two droids. We've come in search
of a ship that crashed near here.

Maybe I can help you.

I am Boba Fett. The
ship you seek is nearby.

Are the Imperial troops near this planet?

They are here, friend and growing more
powerful.

How far away?

Settle down.
All they do is eat.

This is all we have but uh, he's welcome
to it.

You are foolish to waste your kindness on
this dumb creature.

No lower life form is
worth going hungry for, friend.

I take it
you have no love of the Empire.

I don't.

Well, neither do I.

It will be easy to
find the ship you seek.

Follow me,
friend.

Don't you think it might be imprudent to
trust him so quickly, sir?

He's our only chance. And, besides he
seems like a friend.

Indeed, friend is merely a term that is
often misused.

Did Artoo say that?

Words to that affect.

Chewie, you've got the talisman.
What's wrong?

No, don't destroy it!

The talisman...

Boba Fett, no! He's a friend.

Don't hurt him, Boba Fett.

What did he do to Luke?

He didn't do anything. R2-D2 has detected
contamination.

It must have come from the talisman.

Artoo says it's some kind of sleeping
virus that only affects humans.

He says the only way to keep them alive is
to let the blood rush to their heads.

I know this sleeping virus the Empire
uses on its enemies.

They have a remedy for it in the city.
I could get some for you.

I'm afraid, Chewbacca insists on going with you

You'll only get in the way. But, if you
must. Come on.

You stay here.

While I get the serum.

I said stay, friend.

Luke trusted me and
I'm your only chance of getting out of
here alive.

Do you understand me?

Starlog update: although Boba Fett
quickly located the serum for the
sleeping virus

We had no idea of his real plan.

I have made contact with the Rebels and
all is proceeding as you wish, Darth
Vader.

What is it now?

Oh is that all, just some
silly game.

Yes, their metabolisms are slowing down.

I wonder what's keeping Chewbacca.

Try to find them on the viewscreen.
Darth Vader!

Good work, but I want them alive.

Now that
you've got their trust, they may take you
to their new base.

This time we'll get them all.

I see why they call you the best bounty
hunter in the galaxy.

Oh no! What will we do now?

I have the serum.

We must leave quickly, friend.

Are you all right?

I'm not sure.

What happened?

I don't know.

Well, somebody must know something.

He says our friend Boba found serum for
the talisman virus.

Boba, you're a hero and a faithful friend.
You must come back with us.

What's the matter with Artoo?

I'm afraid, sir, it's because you said
Boba is a friend and faithful ally.

That simply does not feed properly into
Artoo's information bank.

What are you talking about?

We intercepted a message between Boba and
Darth Vader, sir.

Boba Fett is Darth Vader's right hand man.
I'm afraid this whole adventure has
been an Imperial plot.

We'll meet again, friend.

Well, trust a droid to get to the bottom
of things.

Boba sure fooled the rest of us.

I beg your pardon, sir.

Chewbacca suspected all along
there was something
bad about Boba.

How did you know, Chewie?

May I quote directly, sir? He just didn't
smell right.

Well, lets's get off this galactic
raindrop.

Captain Kazan, starlog 3-24-1 signing off.
May the force be with you.

Let's go.

Nothing up there.

Go clean up your room.

That will keep him busy for a while.

This product was packed under strict
quality control on the system Amorphia

and this instructional cassette provided
by the manufacturer.

It offers a unique chance for consumers
everywhere to meet an Amorphian being.

The motor abilities of Amorphian citizens are frequently
impaired by malfunctions

which results in
a temporary loss of power.

This in no way reflects on the
safety of our product,

rather it should serve as a guarantee of
our high standards of long wear and
durability.

Thank you for selecting our brand of
mini-transmitter.

If you assemble it properly, following
the instructions I'm about to give you.

It will provide many years of fun
and valuable services.

But, now let's get started, shall we?

First, find the sealed package containing
all the tools you'll need.

It looks like this.

Try not to rip it open because it makes a
very handy storage case for your tools
until you need them again.

Now, this is the first thing you'll need.

Please be careful not to hurt yourself on
the sharp edges.

Now, find the circuit breaker module

and by the way, let's start calling these
components by their proper names.

Circuit breaker module.

Remember, every one of the ten thousand
terminals on your circuit breaker module

is marked in a particular color.

Beautiful, aren't they? Like a rainbow.

These must be connected with the
wires with the corresponding colors.

So, red goes to red.

Blue goes to blue and so on.

Now, watch me closely.

And we'll assemble our mini-transmitters
together.

Let us work slowly and
methodically because this is a job worth
doing well.

Well, I see time is running out.

So, we better turn our attention to
the assembly of the impulse to
voice translator.

The impulse to voice translator.

The very heart of the mini-transmitter

which converts electronic energy which provide
into any of a thousand recognizable languages.

We must remain alert for this very
complicated procedure.

Endurance and concentration are the key
words here

and the total utilization of our neural
cranial synapsis is absolutely essential.

The following live broadcast is recommended
by the Imperial council

in the belief that your commitment to remain
upstanding citizens will be reinforced.

It is required viewing for all members of
the Imperial forces.

Time now for life on Tatooine.

Brought to viewers everywhere in the hope
that our own lives may be uplifted by
the comparison

and enriched with the
gratitude of relief.

This transmission isunrehearsed and
unedited

and is hereby begun without further
comment as to its lack of moral value.

Well, I'm certainly not going to get rich
with customers like you.

I thought I taught you to
drink faster than that.

Well, at least you're steady.

Oh, come on now. Drink up.
There's plenty more where that
came from.

- What'll it be?
- Hello, Ackmena.

Okay, we'll do it your way. Hello. Now,
we'll do it my way. What'll it be?

Can we talk?

Well of course we can talk.
We are talking.

You're not ordering. I'm not pouring. We
are not drinking. We are talking.

I'm moving this to make room for a drink,

so that next time I say "what'll it be"
and you tell me. I can put it right there.

Doesn't matter. Give me anything.

I'll have one of those.

I'm sorry I couldn't get back before.

Ah, before what?

Uh, until now,... until tonight.

I thought about it a dozen times.
I had to be sure.

Ah, excuse me. I have a customer waiting.
I'll be right back.

"Come back soon, I'll be waiting."

Ackmena?

How's your drink?

It's all gone.
Look, there's a flower on top
of it.

I see there is. Do you want another drink?

The flower is for you. I wanted to bring
you something and that's all I could
think of.

I don't get many flowers. I uh... but you
didn't have to bring me anything Ah, ah...

Krelman.

Krelman, what a nice name.

When I left here the other night, I felt
something that I haven't felt in longer
than I care to remember.

I felt alive again.

Someone made me feel like all the
years I've lived meant something.

And all you said was six simple words.
"Come back soon, I'll be waiting."

Well, after all, only words I probably...

...more than words. I knew that
at the time.

That's why I went home and thought
and thought about what you said.

Oh? What did I say?

It uh, it doesn't matter, silly.

What you said is not as important
as what you meant.

Oh? What did I mean?

I decided what you meant was exactly the
thing I needed to hear.

Well, I'm glad about that.

You know its funny. A man can live as
long as I have.

Through all the ups and downs

and just when he thinks its all over,
someone cares for him again.

I wasn't looking for that when I came in
here.

Maybe that's why it, it happened.
Because I wasn't asking for love anymore.

I wasn't desperate. I wasn't begging,
whining, ruffling, sniveling.

I just came in here for a drink...
and I find a lot more.

- Uh, uh, Kerlman...
-Krelman.

Uh, lis... listen uh, Krelman. You're,
you're kind and, and sweet and, and
terribly attractive but,

if, if you're saying what I think you're saying
you felt you meant I thought
you needed to hear then,

I just have one thing to say. I did not.

Ackmena, don't do this to me...

Now, please look! I have customers.

Why don't you sit down. Finish your drink.
Have another drink. This one's on me.

Now, you stay just as long as you want.

But, I have business to attend to. I
really have no time for anything else.

You'll change your mind.
I just know you will.

Six simple words.

I could wait forever to hear it
again because I know...

Come back soon, I'll be waiting.

Due to increased activity among
subversive forces,

we are placing a curfew on the
entire Tatooine system effective
immediately.

All inhabitants will return to their
homes at once.

This order will remain in
effect until further notice.

Okay, Bobbarine. Take a break.

I don't know how long. Maybe forever.

Oh, don't leave me now.

Please, please, I have enough aggravation.

Alright, one more round before you leave.
And this one's on the me. Tork,

see what the boys on the bandstand
will have.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, I don't know how to
tell you this but

I guess the wall screen
said it all. We're closed.

Gentlemen, I guess you didn't hear what I
said.

The Empire has closed us down.

Now, I know this sort of thing happens all the
time. I... I'm sure it's just temporary,

Fellas, The party is over.

How dare you. You stop that.

Stop Tork, it's alright. I'll reason with them.

Kelnor, Zutnor, come on you guys. Haven't
I always lent you money?

Ludlow, Ludlow, you of all creatures.
Please do me a favor and leave.

Ludlow, you're heartless.

Thorp, Thorp, after all I've down for you.

Short memory, eh, Thorp?

Short memory!

Helpmus, do you remember the time that...

I don't believe we've met.

We're closed!

I said, we're closed.

Look, I'm sorry we are closed.

The Empire just imposed a curfew on this
planet. Everybody has to leave right now.

Now...Tork, I don't want anymore trouble.
You, take care of the door.

Alright, alright, alright, alright.

I can take a hint.

We'll have one more round.

This one's on the house.

I'll run a tab for the Empire.

Just one more round, friend.

Then homeward bound, friend.

Don't forget me in your dreams.

Just one more song, friend.

I so lone friend

The night's get shorter it seems.

Just one more rhyme, friend.

Yes, it's a crime, friend.

But you know time, friend.
Time can fly.

So it's goodnight, friend.

Goodnight, but not goodbye.

Just one more drop, friend.

Before we stop, friend.

One more moment face to face.

Next time you're dry, friend.

Try stopping by, friend.
If there's a light in the place.

We may not cry, friend.

But we survive, friend.

Look, we're alive, friend.
You and I.

So say goodnight, friend.

Goodnight, but not goodbye.

Just one more dance, friend.
Just one more chance, friend.

One more chorus, one more
tune.

It's not the end, friend.

If you're a friend, friend.

Then you come back to me soon.

But it's too late, pal.

To celebrate, pal.

You have to wait, pal.

Don't you cry.

Now, it's goodnight, friend.

Goodnight friend.

Goodnight friend.

Follow me!

You're such a dear, friend.

You know I'm here, friend.

Is that a tear, friend.

In your eye?

Now, it's goodnight, friend.

Goodnight friend.

Goodnight but not...

Return to base. Return to base.
Return to base. Return to base...

Message received and obeyed.

We leave at once.

You, stay here.

There's a male missing from this household
and I want you to be here when he returns.

It's possible, he's one of the
Rebels we're looking for.

Return to base. Return to base.
Return to base. Return to base...

Return to base. Return to base.
Return to base. Return to base...

THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL
WILL CONTINUE IN A MOMENT

Lumpy, are there any more inside?

Come here sweetheart.
It's okay. It's alright now.

Everything's okay now.
Here's your daddy.

Boy, has he grown.

It's okay everybody. He's gone.

How are ya? Malla! Ha,ha!

Itchy, you look wonderful.

Doing well, huh?

Your son's been doin' you proud.
He's saved my tail more'n a couple of
times.

Look Malla, I'd love to but, I can't. I
gotta get back to the Falcon before
somebody stumbles across her.

Hey, will you look at Lumpy?
He's sure grown, huh?

An' I think his voice is changin'.

Come on, I'm just teasin' ya.

Well, look.

I gotta go. Have a nice Life Day.

But be careful, a lotta troopers in the area.

Chewie, check and see if the coast is
clear, will ya?

You're like a family to me.

I know, bye.

Okay pal?

Bye everybody.

Well pal,...

be careful.

They'll be lookin' for him.

Take care.

You sure know how to make a guy feel
welcome.

Glad you're home, Chewbacca.

If you're looking for who I'm thinking
you're looking for, forget him.

We won't be bothered by him again.

This is a general alert.

Calling officer B-4711, officer B-4711.

We are unable to reach you on your comlink.

Is there a problem?

You are instructed to turn on
your comlink immediately.

Wait, wait a minute.
I think I can handle this.

We have two-way communication, trader
Saundan.

Is this a report about the missing trooper?

It is, sir.

Trooper B-4711 was here with
three other men.

They left and he remained.

As soon as they had gone,

he packed a lot of food from
this house and robbed me blind.

Then, he took off for the hills.

- Very well. We'll send out a search party.
- Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Identification is very important.

Helps you maintain contact with the Empire
at times like this.

Lumpy.

Itchy.

Chewie.

Malla.

This day is for you.

Have a wonderful celebration.

And may the force be with you.

Happy Life Day.

Happy Life Day, everyone.

And, we're certainly glad that we
were allowed to celebrate it.

Yes, Artoo.

It is indeed true, that at times like this,

Artoo and I wish that we were more
than just mechanical beings...

... and were really alive, so that we
could share your feelings with you.

Chewbacca!

Chewbacca, we were so relieved to hear
you were alright.

All of you are an important part of my life, pal.

I'm glad I could be here.

This holiday is yours

But we all share with you the hope that
this day brings us closer to freedom,
and to harmony, and to peace.

No matter how different we appear,

we're all the same in our struggle against
the powers of evil and darkness.

I hope that this day will always be a day
of joy in which we can reconfirm our
dedication and our courage.

And more than anything
else, our love for one another.

This is the promise of the Tree of Life.

We celebrate a day of peace.

A day of harmony.

A day of joy we can all share

together joyously.

A day that takes us
through the darkness.

A day that leads us into might.

A day that makes us want to
celebrate....

...the light.

A day that brings the
promise

that one day, we'll be free

to live,

to laugh,

to dream,

to grow,

to trust,

to love,

to be.
