A: Hey, the kid's a pretty good shot. Maybe we should have cloned him for the stormtroopers.

V: Perhaps.

A: By the way...why is your lightsaber suddenly flat and silver...?

V: Ummm...the batteries are low? Yeah. Yeah, that's it...

ABOARD THE DEATH STAR:

(As the Rebels attack the Death Star, Vader goes stalking through the corridors and comes upon two TIE-fighter pilots.)

ANAKIN: Well, would you look at these pathetic little Vader wannabes...with their little black helmets and little black outfits....Isn't it just precious?

VADER: Actually, I find it rather flattering.

A: You would.

V: It's not my fault that people want to emulate me. I'm a role model.

A: Yeah, yeah.

V: I am! They said so in that article in
Dark Jedi Quarterly. Or was it Teen Sith...? Well, never mind. On to business...

V: (to pilots) Several fighters have broken off from the main group. Come with me.

PILOTS: Yes, sir.

(Vader stalks away, and the pilots follow.)

A: Okay, far be it from me to be the voice of reason here...

V:
Very far.

A: Funny guy. There's hope for you yet. Anyway, have you considered that maybe you might want to rustle up a couple of your
best pilots to fly with you, instead of just grabbing the first two guys you bumped into?

V: Relax, it'll be fine; I know exactly who these guys are. They can handle it.

A: Oh? So, who are they?

V: Captain Billin Terrhal and Lt. Xandos Porichen.

A: What the-?! Are you nuts? You're flying with Billin "friendly fire" Terrhal and Xandos "What does this button do?" Porichen?! Are you insane?!

V: Well, I do hear voices in my head...

A: Oh, man. We are
so dead...

INSIDE THE TIE FIGHTER:

(Luke, Biggs, and Wedge enter the Death Star trench and begin racing towards the exhaust port. Soon, Vader and his two escort TIEs drop in to pursue them.)

ANAKIN: Stay on target...

VADER: What?

A: Stay on target...!

V: What are you talking about?

A: Don't know. Just seemed like the thing to say. Kinda catchy, though, huh?

(One of Vader's wingmen shoots Wedge's X-Wing, which goes flying out of the trench.)

V: (to wingmen) Let him go. Stay on the leader.

A: Hey, that's pretty sporting of you.

V: Eh. I have my moments.

(Up ahead, Biggs's X-Wing bobs and weaves across the trench, trying to block the TIEs' progress. Vader opens fire and destroys it.)

V: (to wingmen) I'm on the leader.

(Vader closes in on Luke.)

V: (aloud) The Force is strong with this one.

A: Man, you got that right. I wonder if...

V: What?

A: What if it's...
