Episode IV: The Great Wookiee Caper

A few Death Star folks
think it's odd that two troopers
can guard a Wookiee.
_______________________
Mid-level officers
mill around efficiently--
Whoa! A tall hairy mountain!
_______________________
The detention block guards
sneer at the absurd idea of a Wookiee
in their nice, clean cells.
_______________________
Look out! He's loose!!
The smoke of sizzling circuits masks
death and mayhem.
_______________________
Han doesn't really know
his operating number, and besides,
talk is cheap.
_______________________
Though Lucas insisted
that Leia's breasts be taped down,
sheer fabric can't hide all.
_______________________
Friends who have just met
sometimes carry on as if they've known
each other forever.
_______________________
Han's sarcasm can't hide
the glint in his eye for the girl
they've just sprung.
_______________________
Sometimes the quickest way
to escape from a bad situation
is to jump into garbage.
