246 EXT. SPACE BATTLE - MILLENNIUM FALCON.
FIGHTERS engaged in combat continue to dart to and fro between the opposing armadas. The MILLENNIUM FALCON wends its way through the melee, its rear deflector shields battered by a barrage of laser fire as three TIES pursue it. The beat-up FREIGHTER roars across the surface of an IMPERIAL DESTROYER, bobbing and weaving to avoid numerous flak bursts as it heads directly for the DESTROYER’S conning tower.
