- lead trooper hits his head.
-
- NOTES:
-

- happen, or was an accident, however, Ed Hirsh [duke@apple.com]

-
- INTERIOR: DEATH STAR -- MAIN GANTRY -- COMMAND OFFICE.
-
- A soft buzzer and the muted voice of Luke calling out for C-3PO can
- be heard on Threepio's hand comlink, which is sitting on the deserted
- computer console. Artoo and Threepio are nowhere in sight. Suddenly
- there is a great explosion and the door of the control tower flies
- across the floor. Four armed stormtroopers enter the chamber.
-
- FIRST TROOPER: Take over! (pointing to the dead officer)
- See to him! Look there!
