The CONTROLLERS look up to see all the cell doors opening. The prisoners begin to emerge from their cells. Before the CONTROLLERS can do anything to try and contain the situation, HAN, LEIA, LANDO, CHEWBACCA, and the small group of PRISONERS come running in, firing their weapons at the ceiling. HAN shouts at the CONTROLLERS.
HAN: You two! Put your hands up and step away from the computer! Now! Come on! Come on!
One of the CONTROLLERS suddenly reaches for his pistol, but HAN shoots him in the shoulder before his gun can clear the holster. The other CONTROLLER, who is unarmed, immediately raises his hands. Just then, a turbolift door on the far wall opens and CAPTAIN PRUE and his TROOPS enter the cell block. His eyes go wide as he realizes what’s happening, and he shouts at his men.
CAPTAIN PRUE: It’s an uprising! Shoot to kill!
Before the IMPERIAL TROOPS can carry out their orders, LEIA quickly raises her palm, and their weapons zip from their hands, flying across the room to clatter on the floor at LEIA’S feet. The PRISONERS give out a cheer as they realize they are being freed. They snatch up the guns and surround the defenseless Imperial SOLDIERS. HAN smiles at CAPTAIN PRUE.
HAN: Don’t try to be a hero. (motioning with gun) You and your men, into the cells. Now.
