Return to the Virtual Edition      
Han suggests that they escape using one of the parked Star Destroyers....
 

All the defeated Imperial TROOPS are marched into the holding cells. LEIA uses the Force to re-engage the door locks, and exhales from her recent mental exertions. As the prisoners let out another cheer, LEIA anxiously looks at the large crowd.
LEIA: (to HAN and LANDO) We gotta find a way to get everyone out of here!
After a moment HAN’S eyes suddenly light up and he looks to LEIA with a grin.
HAN: There’s a ship parked right outside that’s big enough for everybody, and it’s just beggin’ for a crew!
LEIA responds with a surprised look.
LEIA: An Imperial Star Destroyer?! But what about the crew? They’ll be armed!
HAN: There should only be a skeleton-crew ; on the rare occasions a Star Destroyer is ground-docked most of the personnel are usually allowed shore-leave, and besides, we've got blaster carryin' Wooks now!
LANDO: (reasoning) You know, that’s actually not such a bad idea! They’d never expect it, and we have more than enough Wookiees here to sweep the ship and man the helm...
CHEWBACCA barks at the other WOOKIEES scattered among the prisoners, and they roar enthusiastically.
LEIA: What about the shield?
HAN: They’ll be able to temporarily open it from the bridge, at least long enough to pass through...
Suddenly, LEIA stiffens.
HAN: What is it?
LEIA: Luke! I can sense he’s headed for danger! He’s going to need our help!
LANDO moves to join the large group of prisoners.
LANDO: We can handle ourselves from here. You three go find Luke and get back to the Falcon!
LANDO disappears into the tunnel that will lead the prisoners to the great salt flat.
LANDO: (V.O. shouting) Good luck!
