Jambe, I see that the only revision on the page given (when comparing with the 1st. 4th draft) as a sample photo is:

LUKE
(hesitates)
… to another system …not far …

Please also check this item:

184. PRODUCER'S SCRIPT FOR STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

Use the zoom function to look carefully at the first page for item 184. This one here also has FROM THE NOVEL BY GEORGE LUCAS. I don't believe that is it refering to that actual novelization of the film or at least what ended up being done later. It may be a reference to appease somebody else? A big wig suit? Maybe a smoke screen tactic used during filming? Can it be checked in books/articles you have to see if something was ever mentioned about this maybe?

Something about this scene may be helpful for a sample page.

A couple of minor observations only & I saw this fourth draft auction earlier as well. I am actually satisfied enough with the free copy found on the internet myself. However if this one is legit a nice complete scan of this 1st. 4th draft may be enjoyable & the next best thing for many others if they couldn’t get an original.

I've had a bad experience on eBay before & I've paid too much as well. I always have a bad feeling about buying this way, but I don't know if these scripts (the other being 4.R) will ever show up in the public domain if the fans don't take 'em away from the complusive hoarders one way or another.
