like a frightened rabbit, as the Devastator
moves in for the kill.

"They shot down the main reactor!"
Threepio's burnished gold appears dull
through smoke and fear.

"I know I'm going to regret this!
Still, the seats are really comfortable,

"Oh, crap! They're coming through!
May the Force be with me, and keep this
plastic helmet from melting!"

Sparks and tremendous noise!
Lightning and thunder from the docking bay!
The 501st has arrived.

"She'll be alright!"

Outside her cabin,
Leia could hear the Tantive IV
being taken apart.
