LUKE'S NIGHTMARE
(sung to: Kim's Nightmare, from Miss Saigon)
Written and submitted by Peter Owens

EMPEROR: Did you think I’d gone away?
This is the face you saw that day
Throwing lightning bolts at your body
You were saved by your dad,
but in time, my friend, I’ll be free.

Use the pride that you hid.
For you want to forget that you fought,
But you did.

You will someday downslide,
And journey to the Dark Side.

Did you think you could escape the seduction that was planned?
Or get away with slicing off your father’s hand?
Just because your flesh was burned at my command?

Did you think that your X-Wings could rout my fleet.
Think about how many times that our forces meet
What about that day, how many were beat?

WEDGE: We’ll fight our way out!

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

LANDO: Hurry up, Wedge, form ‘em on my tail;
Han’ll get that shield down now, he won’t fail.
We must save the cruisers, or we’re done for!

TIE PILOTS: By order of the old man, the fleet will attack according to plan.

ACKBAR: They’re coming around for another pass!

WEDGE: Let’s get them off of your ass, Call in!

PILOTS: By order of our old man, we’re killing off the TIE’s as fast as we can.

LANDO: I don’t mean to break it up, but just look ahead!
Three wings of them, all just wanting us dead, right?

LUKE: Stang, I’m due on the Death Star, I’ve no time to spare.

LEIA: I don’t want you to go there today.

LUKE: At least it’s been interesting talking to teddy bears.

LEIA: If you’re going, I don’t want to stay.

LUKE: Look, I’ll leave you with Han, there’s no time, stay and fight.

LEIA: Well, I will do whatever you say.

LUKE: We’ll have plenty of word when the laser gets fixed;
I want you right down here seeing that it gets nixed.

PIETT: Hurry, captain, we must accelerate!
That Rebel fleet is here; we shan’t congregate.
We have to protect the Emperor.

CAPTAIN: Sorry, Admiral, it’s straight from Darth Vader
We will have to wait until later.
Our fighters are ready to launch right now.

PIETT: Okay, keep quiet, DON’T SHOUT!
The Emperor wants to keep his real big ships out.
Our squadrons’re on their way, we shan’t give up yet.

PANICKY OFFICER: Here comes a flaming Corvette! Retreat!

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

CAPTAIN: The Emperor just sent an order to freeze!

PIETT: We must do just as he pleases, Hold here!

PANICKY OFFICER: But we’re all gonna die!

LEIA: The code has been changed; we need Artoo!
We’ll keep the Imps at bay until he gets through!

THREEPIO: Artoo, don’t leave, I’m coming inside!

HAN: Those Ewoks are going off on a joyride!

EMPEROR: Young fool, you must see
That your knowledge, I’ll complete.

VADER: My son, understand,
You’re controlled by this old man.

BOTH: The Dark Side is right here and now,
And you will turn, or die somehow.

HAN: Chewie, help us please.

LEIA: We’re pinned down here.

THREEPIO: Rescue me!

LANDO: Hurry, Admiral, we must get closer now
That damn thing may be big as a cow,
But it’s got real sting...

ACKBAR: Send in the A-Wings!

WEDGE: If we want to win, we must kill a few big ships!

1st PILOT: Now I’ve got him.

2nd PILOT: I’m on his tail.

3rd PILOT: I’ve got a bogey, look!

WEDGE: Cut to the left, I’ll take him out.

ALL: There’s too many TIE’s here!
They’re crowding the skies here!

1st PILOT: My family is dead already.

2nd PILOT: Mine were on Alderaan.

3rd PILOT: I think I’m hit, I’m going down.

ALL: We’re tempting the Force now.
Here comes a new force now!

PANICKY OFFICER: There’s a fighter out there, listen everyone!

PIETT: Boost all the batteries, fire all their guns.

COMSCAN: The shield is down now, it’s heading straight at the bridge.

PIETT: There’s nowhere to move; we’re all gonna be dead.

VADER: Listen to me Luke, just leave now.
The Empire is dead, and so’s the Imperial fleet.

ALL: There’s too many TIE’s here!
They’re crowding the skies here.

LUKE: Not a chance, dad, I won’t leave you.
You were saved once, I can save you again.

ALL: We’re tempting the Force now.
Here comes a new force now!

VADER: Wake up, my son, your mercy trip’s complete.
You’ve performed one heck of a Light Side feat.
Get down to the moon, or else you will die.

PILOTS: We must blow this thing, or else we will all die.

LEIA: Oh, Han, now you love me,
And I love you; let’s get married.
We’ve done our part, we’ve won.
