I like when I start a thread that other people enjoy.

Han: Stand by, Chewie, here we go. Cut in the sublight engines. What the...? We've come out of hyperspace into a meteor shower. It's not on any of the
charts.

Luke: What's going on?

Han: Our position is correct, except...no, Alderaan!

Luke: What do you mean? Where is it?

Han: Thats what I'm trying to tell you, kid. It ain't there. It's been totally blown away.

Luke: What? How?

Obi Wan: Destroyed...by the Empire!

Han: The entire starfleet couldn't destroy the whole planet. It'd take a thousand ships with more fire power than I've... There's another ship coming in.

Luke: Maybe they know what happened.

Obi Wan: It's an Imperial fighter.

Luke: It followed us!

Obi Wan: No. It's a short range fighter.

Han: There aren't any bases around here. Where did it come from?

Luke: It sure is leaving in a big hurry. If they identify us, we're in big trouble.

Han: Not if I can help it. Chewie...jam it's transmissions.

Obi Wan: It'd be as well to let it go. It's too far out of range.

Han: Not for long...

Obi Wan: A fighter that size couldn't get this deep into space on its own.

Luke: It must have gotten lost, been part of a convoy or something.

Han: Well, he’s going to be around long enough to tell anyone about us.

Luke: Look at him. He's headed for that small moon.

Han: I think I can get him before he gets there...he's almost in range.

Obi Wan: That's no moon! It's a space station.

Han: It's too big to be a space station.

Luke: I have a very bad feeling about this.

Obi Wan: Yeah, I think you’re right. Full reverse! Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power.

Luke: Why are we still moving towards it?

Han: We're caught in a tractor beam! It's pulling us in!

Luke: But there's gotta be something you can do!

Han: There's nothing I can do about it, kid. I'm in full power. I'm going to have to shut down. But they're not going to get me without a fight!

Obi Wan: You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting.
