DEATH STAR - CELL ROW: Luke races down the cell row turning to acknowledge Han's warning.
He stops in front of one of the cells and triggers the electronic security lock/unlock.
Luke sees the dazzling young princess-senator. She had been sleeping and is now looking at him with an uncomprehending look on her face. Luke is stunned by her incredible beauty and stands staring at her.
LEIA: (finally) Aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper?
Luke takes off his helmet, coming out of it.
LUKE: What? Oh...the uniform. I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you.
LEIA: You're who?
LUKE: I'm here to rescue you. I've got your R2 unit. I'm here with Ben Kenobi.
LEIA: Ben Kenobi is here! Where is he?
LUKE: Come on!
CONFERENCE ROOM: Darth Vader in the conference room, Governor Tarkin sits at the far end of the conference table.
VADER: He is here. . .
TARKIN: Obi-Wan Kenobi! What makes you think so?
VADER: A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.
TARKIN: Surely he must be dead by now.
VADER: Don't underestimate the power of the Force.
TARKIN: The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion.
There is a quiet buzz on the comlink, Tarkin responds.
INTERCOM VOICE: Governor Tarkin, we have an emergency alert in detention block A A-twenty-three.
TARKIN: The princess! Put all sections on alert!
VADER: Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him.
TARKIN: If you're right, he must not be allowed to escape.
VADER: Escape is not his plan. I must face him alone.
