HAN
A chance for new beginnings we have made,
Directing hearts unto the rebels’ cause.
These are the star wars we have fought and won—
For now our battles and our scenes are done.

Beep, beep, beep, meep!
C-3PO
—Thou shalt not label me
A mindless, brute philosopher! Nay, nay,
Thou overladen glob of grease, thou imp,
Thou rubbish bucket fit for scrap, thou blue
And silver pile of bantha dung!"

And gazing now upon the double sun
Of my home Tatooine, I know full well
That elsewhere lies my destiny, not here.
Although my uncle’s will is that I stay,
My heart within me bursts to think on it
For out among the spheres I wish to roam—
Adventure and rebellion stir my blood.
Those oft-repeated words of my mate Biggs
I do believe—that all the world’s a star.
Beyond that heav’nly light I shall fly far!"

—But O, what now?
What light through yonder flashing sensor breaks?
HAN
It marks the loss of yon deflector shield."

Art thou not small
Of stature, if thou art a stormtrooper?
Does Empire shrink for want of taller troops?
The Empire’s evil ways, I’ll grant, are grand,
But must its soldiers want for fear of height?"
