Moff Jerjerrod : [3:56] Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence...
Darth Vader : You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule.
Moff Jerjerrod : I assure you, Lord Vader. My men are working as fast as they can.
Darth Vader : Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.
Moff Jerjerrod : I tell you, this station will be operational as planned.
Darth Vader : The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.
Moff Jerjerrod : But he asks the impossible. I need more men.
Darth Vader : Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.
Moff Jerjerrod : [aghast] The Emperor's coming here?
Darth Vader : That is correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.
Moff Jerjerrod : We shall double our efforts.
Darth Vader : I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

The Emperor : [In the throne room, Luke is watching the Imperial fleet attack the Rebels from the huge throne room window] As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!
[the Emperor hits the comlink switch on his throne]
The Emperor : Fire at will, Commander!
Moff Jerjerrod : [In the Death Star's firing room, a group of hooded Imperial gunners starts priming the Death Star's superlaser - a device so advanced it can be trained on capital ships, such as the Rebel aircraft carriers. A series of tones signify that the weapon is ready] Fire!
[a second gunner hits a switch, and a huge laser beam roars down a firing shaft. The outer surface of the Death Star shows a huge laser dish start to develop, and then a titanic laser beam moves out from the Death Star's superlaser. It hits the Rebel Calamari Cruiser 'Liberty' and vaporizes the huge carrier in less than a second]

Darth Vader : [deleted scene; Darth Vader and Moff Jerjerrod talk] Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.
Moff Jerjerrod : I tell you, this station will be operational as planned.
Darth Vader : The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.
Moff Jerjerrod : But he asks the impossible.
[gravely]
Moff Jerjerrod : I need more men.
Darth Vader : Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.
Moff Jerjerrod : [scared] The Emperor's coming here?
Darth Vader : That is correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.
Moff Jerjerrod : We shall double our efforts.
Darth Vader : I hope so, Commander, for your sake.
[Jerjerrod gulps]
Darth Vader : The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.
[he and Jerjerrod walk away. Vader goes to his room and seats himself, communicating to Luke using the Force]
Darth Vader : Luke... Luke... Join me and the Dark Side of the Force... my son, it is the only way... Luke... Luke...
[cut to Tatooine, where Luke constructs his new lightsaber and tests it out. R2-D2 beeps something as C-3PO talks to himself]
C-3PO : What a forsaken place this is! Why couldn't that bounty hunter have taken Captain Solo to a more... pleasant environment?
[R2-D2 comes out of the small cave and beeps something]
C-3PO : We're leaving? But, what about Master Luke?
[R2 beeps again]
C-3PO : I thought he was going to rescue Captain Solo?
[R2 beeps and starts rolling away]
C-3PO : You mean, we're going to that horrible fortress alone?
[follows after R2, who beeps again]
C-3PO : We're doomed.
[cut to another scene where R2 and 3PO are making their way toward Jabba's Palace]
C-3PO : [R2 beeps a question] Of course I'm frightened, and you should be, too. Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never return from this awful place.
[R2 beeps]
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 sounds scared]
