Emerging from a mine shaft, HAN and CHEWIE follow LEIA as she runs toward the place where she senses LUKE is in trouble. She spots the skirmish out in the middle of the junkyard area.
LEIA: (pointing) There!
The TROOPERS close in on LUKE, ALANA, and OXUS. Suddenly they are ambushed from behind by HAN, LEIA and CHEWIE, who then run to LUKE’S side.
HAN: What would you do without me around to save you all the time, Kid?
LUKE, slightly embarrassed in front of ALANA and OXUS, points toward the castle complex.
LUKE: Don’t get too cocky, Han, ‘cause we’re not out of this yet!
HAN looks to see more TROOPERS pouring from the service door at the base of the rock bluff, fanning out into the junkyard to surround them from all sides.
HAN: (muttering) Oh, great!
Even with LUKE using his sabre to skillfully deflect the enemy laser bolts, and the rest of the GROUP matching the blaster shots with return fire of their own, the IMPERIAL TROOPS begin to close in around them. As the TROOPS get closer and closer, LUKE and LEIA begin using the Force to push them back, but it’s obvious they will soon be overwhelmed.
LEIA: There are too many of them!
Suddenly, there is a THUNDEROUS SOUND, and a SHADOW falls over LUKE and the OTHERS in the center of the yard.
