Return of the Jedi

Command station, this is st-321. Code clearance blue.

We're starting our approach. Deactivate the security shield.

The security deflector shield will be deactivated

when we have confirmation of your code transmission.

Stand by.

You are clear to proceed.

We're starting our approach.

Inform the commander that lord vader's shuttle has arrived.

Sir.

Lord vader, this is an unexpected pleasure.

We're honored by your presence.

Darth Vader: You may dispense with the pleasantries, commander.

I'm here to put you back on schedule.

I assure you, lord vader, my men are working as fast as they can.

Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.

I tell you this station will be operational, as planned.

The emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.

But he asks the impossible. I need more men.

Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.

The emperor's coming here?

That is correct, commander,

and he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.

We shall double our efforts.

I hope so, commander, for your sake.

The emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

C-3po: Of course I'm worried. And you should be, too.

Lando calrissian and poor Chewbacca never returned from this awful place.

C-3po: Don't be so sure.

If I told you half the things I've heard about this jabba the hutt,

you'd probably short-circuit.

R2, are you sure this is the right place?

I'd better knock, I suppose.

There doesn't seem to be anyone here. Let's go back and tell master Luke.

Goodness gracious me!

I don't think they're going to let us in, r2.

We'd better go.

R2, wait!

Oh, dear! R2!

R2, I really don't think we should rush into all this.

R2!

R2, wait for me!

Just you deliver master Luke's message and get us out of here. Oh, my!

Oh, no.

Oh, my!

We bring a message to your master jabba the hutt.

And a gift.

Gift? What gift?

He says that our instructions are to give it only to jabba himself.

I'm terribly sorry.

I'm afraid he's ever so stubborn about these sort of things.

C-3po: R2, I have a bad feeling about this.

Good morning.

The message, r2, the message.

Greetings, exalted one.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Luke Skywalker, jedi knight and friend to captain solo.

I know that you are powerful, mighty jabba,

and that your anger with solo must be equally powerful.

I seek an audience with your greatness

to bargain for solo's life.

With your wisdom, I'm sure that we can work out an arrangement

which will be mutually beneficial

and enable us to avoid any unpleasant confrontation.

As a token of my goodwill, ipresent to you a gift,

these two droids.

What did he say?

Both are hardworking and will serve you well.

This can't be!

R2, you're playing the wrong message.

He's no jedi.

We're doomed.

R2, look, captain solo.

And he's still frozen in carbonite.

What could possibly have come over master Luke?

Was it something I did?

He never expressed any unhappiness with my work.

Oh. Oh. How horrid!

Good. New acquisitions.

You are a protocol droid, are you not?

I am c-3po...

Yes or no will do.

Well, yes.

How many languages do you speak?

I am fluent in over six million forms of communication and can...

Splendid. We have been without an interpreter

since our master got angry with our last protocol droid and disintegrated him.

Disintegrated?

Guard! This protocol droid might be useful.

Fit him with a restraining bolt

and take him back up to his excellency's main audience chamber.

R2, don't leave me!

You're a feisty little one,

but you'll soon learn some respect.

I have need for you on the master's sail barge,

and I think you'll fill in nicely.

Robot: No! No! No!

No. Chewbacca!

Yes, I am here, your worshipfulness.

Yes?

The illustrious jabba bids you welcome

and will gladly pay you the reward of 25,000.

50,000. No less.

What... what did I say?

The mighty jabba asks why he must pay 50,000.

C-3po: Because he's holding a thermal detonator!

Jabba offers the sum of 35

and I do suggest you take it.

He agrees!

Just relax for a moment.

You're free of the carbonite.

You have hibernation sickness.

I can't see.

Your eyesight will return in time.

Where am I?

Jabba's palace.

Who are you?

Someone who loves you.

Leia.

I got to get you out of here.

What's that?

I know that laugh.

Hey, jabba...

Look, jabba,

I was just on my way to pay you back, and I got a little sidetracked.

It's not my fault.

Look...

Jabba, |'|| pay you triple.

You're throwing away a fortune! Don't be a fool!

Leia: We have powerful friends.

You're going to regret this.

I can't bear to watch.

Han: Chewie?

Chewie, is that you?

Chewie!

I can't see, pal.

What's going on?

Luke? Luke's crazy.

He can't even take care of himself, much less rescue anybody.

A jedi knight?

I'm out of it for a little while, everybody gets delusions of grandeur.

I'm all right, pal.

I'm all right.

I must speak with jabba.

No bargain.

You will take me to jabba now.

You serve your master well.

And you will be rewarded.

At last! Master Luke's come to rescue me.

Master.

I must be allowed to speak.

You will bring captain solo and the wookiee to me.

Nevertheless, I'm taking captain solo and his friends.

You can either profit by this or be destroyed.

It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers.

Master Luke, you're standing on...

Oh, no! The rancor!

Han!

Luke!

Are you all right?

Fine. Together again, huh?

Wouldn't miss it.

How are we doing?

Same as always.

Thatbad, huh?

Where's Leia?

I'm here.

C-3po: Oh, dear.

His high exaltedness, the great jabba the hutt,

has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately.

Good. I hate long waits.

You will therefore be taken to the dune sea

and cast into the pit of carkoon,

the nesting place of the all-powerful sarlacc.

Doesn't sound so bad.

In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering,

as you are slowly digested over 1,000 years.

On second thought, let's pass on that, huh?

You should have bargained.

That's the last mistake you'll ever make.

I think my eyes are getting better.

Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur.

There's nothing to see.

I used to live here, you know.

You're going to die here, you know.

Convenient.

Just stick close to Chewie and lando.

I've taken care of everything.

Great.

Leia: Ow.

C-3po: I'm terribly sorry.

R2, what are you doing here?

Well, I can see you're serving drinks, but this place is dangerous.

They're going to execute master Luke and, if we're not careful, us, too.

I wish I had your confidence.

C-3po: Victims of the almighty sarlacc,

his excellency hopes that you will die honorably.

But should any of you wish to beg for mercy,

the great jabba the hutt will now listen to your pleas.

3po, you tell that slimy piece of worm-ridden filth

he'll get no such pleasure from us! Right?
