Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

unused footage: scenes 201 - 220


201 - EXT. BATTLEFIELD - SNOWDRIFT - HOTH

Luke pops his head out of a hole in the snow. Still a little shaken, he tries to stand up, but can't. His com-link whistles.

COM-LINK
... ships away. Begin retreat action. All troops begin retreat action.

Luke musters all his strength and starts off through the snow toward a distant ice formation.



210 - EXT. ICE SLOPE - X WING - HOTH

Luke, Wedge, and the pilot trudge onward toward the outline of an X wing fighter.

LUKE
There goes the Falcon. At least Han got away. Wedge, that looks like yours over there.

WEDGE
Right.
Good luck, Luke.

The pilots split up. Luke waves as the others disappear in the windblown snow. He walks on, and hears a familiar whistle coming from the vague silhouette of a fighter.
...



211 - INT. MAIN HANGAR DECK - REBEL BASE - HOTH

Darth Vader strides through the remains of the rebel fortress. Two stormtroopers struggle to keep up with the giant presence. Admiral Piett catches up with the Dark Lord.

PIETT
Seventeen ships destroyed, we don't know how many got away.

VADER
Anything on the Millennium Falcon?

PIETT
It won't get through the blockade.

VADER
I want that ship.


Note:
it may have been around this time that another cut scene took place - that of Vader's inquiry regarding some Wampa-mauled stormtroopers.
