HAN fires up the first stage engines, while CHEWBACCA studies a readout.
HAN: How’s she doin’ Chewie? D’you think your new welds are gonna hold?
CHEWIE barks his satisfaction, and HAN scratches the WOOKIEE’S furry head.
HAN: It sure is good to have you back in that seat, pal!
LEIA: (over comlink) Han, are you there?
HAN: (into comlink) I’m here, Leia. How’re you doin’?
LEIA: (over comlink) A little nervous. I just wanted to hear your voice.
HAN: Everything’s gonna be fine, hon’. You’ll see. I love you.
LEIA: (over comlink) Love you too. (pauses) Han... May the Force be with you...
HAN: (embarrassed) Yeah, right, uh, you too...
CHEWBACCA lets out a chuckle. HAN gives the Wookiee’s arm a friendly shove.
LANDO: (over comlink) Han, the fleet is ready. We’re taking off.
HAN: (into comlink) Okay, Lando. We’re with you.
HAN works the FALCON’S controls, and the view outside begins to move past the cockpit windows. CHEWBACCA growls.
HAN: Oh, now you too? What do you mean, ‘a bad feeling about this’? Relax, Chewie. They won’t even know what hit ‘em!
