I wonder how exactly station 38 looked like, if a small bunker built with rocks and ice, a cave or just a tent with camo patterns... :) I say that because I somehow have a problem with a droid engaged in a spy/search mission shooting at potential objectives and essentially calling undesired attention to itself unless it´s in immediate danger... I think there is another scene in the novel where the probot encounters a wampa and kills it...

According to the novel the main rebel base already has it on its radar (more advanced systems in the main base Im sure), and then as Han and Leia enter the room something comes through (the Probots transmission that we all hear in the movie) then C3-P0 does his thing, Han has an exchange...at this point we should hear Echo station 38 (come in on the Comlink console) say they have it on its scope and will have visual contact (or something to that effect) but before they can relay what it is they are blasted and the transmission ends...cut back to Han saying "It isnt friendly whatever it is".

The Probot would have blasted it as station 38 posed a threat to it's mission on transmitting the shield generator information that it had not been able to record up to that point. It didnt want to be stopped before it could record and send its message in other words.

According to Reekien (SP) Echo station is in zone 12 the same zone that station 38 is in.

I have a very rough clip that i will be posting tonite on what that scene may look and sound like. I am having a hard time making the billowing smoke pour from the top of the station (a turrent..I cheated) so I may not add it in at all but it will give an idea.

Just got vegas pro 9 and after effects so its a very steep learning curve for me at the novice stage.
