134  EXT DEATH STAR                                                134

     An Imperial shuttle, with Luke alone in the cockpit, rockets out
     of the main docking bay as that entire section of the Death Star
     is blown away. But as Luke pilots toward the safety of the
     Sanctuary moon, his thoughts - enhanced by the Force - turn to
     his friends aboard the Millennium Falcon.

     The Falcon flies at top speed, with a single X-wing as escort,
     over the endless surface of the Death Star. A series of
     explosions within the superstructure follow, then swiftly
     overtake the small craft as it races for an exit.

135  INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT                               135

     Lando turns to Nien Nunb and shakes his head.

                              LANDO (into comlink)
               Wedge, I don't think we're going to make it.

                              WEDGE (VO)
               You'll make it. Just follow me Gold Leader.

                              LANDO (to himself)
               I promised to return his ship without a
               scratch...I sure hope that old pirate
               forgives me.

135A EXT DEATH STAR                                               135A

     An X-wing, piloted by Wedge Antilles, races out of the exploding
     superstructure and whizzes toward the Sanctuary Moon. But the
     Millennium Falcon is not fast enough as it explodes with the
     Death Star in a supernova of glory.

136  EXT ENDOR FOREST                                              136

     Han and Leia, Chewie, the droids, the Rebel troops, and the Ewoks
     all look to the sky as the Death Star reveals itself in a final
     flash of self-destruction. All except Han cheer, as the thirty-
     year-old starship pilot feels a deep personal loss.

                              HAN (whispering to himself)
               Lando...

                              THREEPIO
               (misinterpreting Han's reference)
               They did it!

     Han looks down from the sky to Leia, a look of sorrow and regret
     on his face. He knows he will never see the Falcon and Lando
     again. His thoughts turn to Leia, as she continues to look at the
     sky, watching for Luke.

     NOTE: DELETE REFERENCE TO LANDO IN SCENE 138.
