FALL OF THE EMPIRE
(sung to: The Fall of Saigon from Miss Saigon)
Written and submitted by Peter Owens

ACKBAR: Hurry, Lando, we must accelerate!
The superlaser is ready to decimate
The word is we must blow up that star!

LANDO: Hurry Red Group, follow on my tail
Han will get that shield down now, he won’t fail
We must destroy those TIE’s or else we’re done.

*************************

PIETT: OK! Keep quiet! Don’t shout!
The Emperor told us to keep the Rebs out
There’s squadrons on the way, there’s hope for us all!

OFFICER: The bunker’s about to fall, Fall Back!

PIT CREW: Fall back? I tell you, ya lout,
The Emperor won’t let us let the Rebs out.

COMM OFFICER: The Emperor just sent an order to freeze!

PIETT: That’s it, we can’t do as we please, ATTACK!

OFFICER: But we’re all gonna DIE!

LUKE: Please, dad, don’t kill me.
There’s good in you,
Let it free.

VADER: My son, understand,
My life’s controlled by
just one man.

BOTH: The Emperor is here right now,
And one of us will die, somehow.

LEIA: Oh, Han, help me please,

HAN: We’re pinned down here,

BOTH: Rescue me!

*************************

LANDO: Sorry, Admiral, we must move closer now;
that Death Star may be big as a cow,
but that thing’s got sting...

ACKBAR: Send in the A-Wings!

LANDO: If we want to win, we must move in closer now!

PILOT 1: Now I’ve got him!

PILOT 2: I’m on his tail!

PILOT 3: He’s gonna be vapor! Look...

WEDGE: Stay alert; you’ll be ok.

PILOTS: (in unison) There’s too many TIE’s here! They’re clouding the skies here!

P1: I’ve a wife who’s died already.

P2: I have an aunt on Endor...

P3: My fighter’s hit, I’m going down.

ALL: The Empire must die now!
We’re all gonna die now!

*************************

PIETT: There’s a fighter out there, listen everyone!
Boost up the batteries, fire all our guns.

OFFICER: There’s a rogue A-Wing heading at our bridge!

PIETT: I can’t move a muscle; we’re gonna be dead!

*************************

VADER: Let me go, Luke, I must leave you.
I’ve been redeemed, and now I’m gonna die!

P: There’s too many TIE’s here! They’re clouding the skies here!

LUKE: I won’t leave you, you can still live,
You were saved once, I can save you again.

P: The Empire must die now!
We’re all gonna die now!

VADER: Wake up, my son, you mercy trip has won;
The Empire won’t the setting of the sun;
Your friends have all won now, please let me be!

P: Blow up the reactor, or we can’t be free!

LANDO: Oh, Han, I knew you’d succeed.
Now let’s get this junk inside to win;
Fire the torps and pull up!

(Sounds of explosions echo throughout)
