matrilFilling in a few original trilogy scenes....
I've covered pretty much the entire first half of Episode IV, but this is the first bit of anything after they leave Tatooine. A reprise of Can Your Hear Our Freedom Call?, with Padmé's daughter, naturally, leading the way.
CAN YOU HEAR OUR FREEDOM CALL? (Reprise)
(Original, starting around 6:03)
Leia: Can you hear our freedom call?
Calling for hope that’s burning bright
It is the time to raise our people
Into vict'ry and the light!
We will fight until the end
So may the Force be with us all
We’ll have a brighter future there
When our freedom calls!
Luke: Like I did in Beggar’s Canyon
I will do the same today
But I can’t believe that Han
Would turn from us and walk away
Leia: His path is his own, he must choose
Let him go if he may
Leia and General: Can you hear our freedom call?
Calling for hope that’s burning bright
It is the time to raise our people
Into vict'ry and the light!
We will fight until the end
So may the Force be with us all
We’ll have a brighter future there
When our freedom calls!
Luke: We are falling one by one
But if the Force is on my side
I will listen to its call
And let my feelings be my guide
Vader: I have you -
Han: It's finished, and now we can fly!
Luke, Leia, Han and Rebels: Can you hear our freedom call?
Calling for hope that’s burning bright
It is the time to raise our people
Into vict'ry and the light!
We will fight until the end
So may the Force be with us all
We’ll have a brighter future there
When our freedom calls!
And now for the umpteenth reprise of Fantine's Death, because I very much want Luke's plea to Vader to echo Padmé's. Oh, the angst.
COME WITH ME
(Original)
Officer: We found him in the woods
This was his only weapon
He claims he was alone
But we believe there’s more
Vader: Find them now
Go on your way and leave us (Officers go)
So you’ve come
The Empr’r has foreseen this
Luke: Yes, I know
I’m not afraid, my father
Vader: The truth you now admit
Luke: The truth that you were once another
Anakin
Vader: And so you think to bind me
Do not try
That name is far behind me
Luke: It’s the name
Of what you have forgotten
I know you see his face
Here in the son you have begotten
There is good
A light that’s shining still
And I know
You will not kill your son
Vader: So you’ve made
This saber on your own
As foreseen
All your pow’rs have grown
Luke: Come with me
Vader: Like Obi-Wan implored me
Can’t you see
The Dark Side lies before me
So with you
My master, he will teach you
Luke: So Anakin is gone
My father’s dead; I cannot reach you
(Officers take him away)
Vader: Don’t look back
I hear the voices crying
Hope is gone
The past is gone and dying
But this boy
How could he know my secret?
The conflict in my heart
Each time I look upon his face...
Leading directly into the reprise of One Day More (and yes, I did make sure that Ackbar had his famous line, ha).
ONE DAY MORE (Reprise)
(Original)
Vader: One day more
Another day, another destiny
This never-ending quest for mastery
His fate is sealed, I’ll see it done
The Dark Side’s pow’r will claim my son
One day more!
Leia: I watched my brother walk away
I learned the truth, but now we’ve parted
Leia and Han: I dreamed a dream, but now today
I’ve seen it end before it started
Luke: One more day before the end
(Leia and Han: Can we make things right again?)
Luke: I will face whatever’s coming
(Leia and Han: There are secrets in your face)
Luke: For my father, for my friends
(Leia and Han: Standing here in your embrace)
Luke: And the Force is on my side
Lando: One more day before the fight!
(Leia: As our allies gather here)
Lando: At the battle of the Death Star
(Leia: Will they see my brother there?)
Lando: When the Empire is destroyed
(Leia: Do I hope and do I dare?)
Lando: All our people will be free!
All: The time is now, the day is here!
Vader: One day more!
Ackbar: Now the fleet has been assembled
Flying into hyperspace
We will fight against the Empire
We will meet them face to face
Vader: One day more!
Emperor: So we meet this day
Quickly you will learn
The pow’r that claims your father
He will not be turned
I can feel your hate
Strike me down and see
How the Dark Side’s pow’r
Will fin’lly set you free!
Group 1 (Leia, Han, Lando and Ackbar): One day to a new beginning
Group 2 (Vader, Luke, Emperor): And the battle has begun
Group 1: May the Force be with us all
Group 2: If the Force will rise or fall
Group 1: There’s a vict’ry for the winning
Group 2: There’s a vict’ry to be won
Both: Can you hear your freedom call?
Leia: My place is here; I’m at your side!
Vader: One day more!
(Overlapping)
Leia and Han: Our hopes depend upon this day
Luke: Can I reach my father’s heart?
Leia and Han: How can we see this foe defeated?
Ackbar: If they knew that we were coming
Then our plans must all be scrapped
We must face their fleet in battle
We are fallen - It’s a trap!
Vader: One day more!
Leia and Han: Our friends have drawn the troops away
Luke: How he tears my hopes apart!
Leia and Han: Now we can see our work completed
Ackbar: Closer to the Star Destroyers
They are deadly, but it’s clear
It is safer than the Death Star
Emperor: All your friends will die
I have set the snare
Take your father’s place
And all my pow’r we’ll share!
Vader: The only way to save your friends
Vader and Ackbar: The only way this battle ends
All: Tomorrow we will fin’lly see
If light or dark will win this war
One more dawn
One more day
One day more
