A Thousand Stars: Episode V, Part 25

[matril]

Back out of the asteroid and into worse trouble, Han and company discover that their repairs haven't been quite effective. Han's expression is an amusing mixture of confusion and indignation, but I especially like how Leia has a sort of weary resignation, as if she's come to expect the Falcon's failure.

So Han charges forward into an utterly insane idea. Fly directly at a Star Destroyer, so convincingly that even the Imperial officers believe it's coming in for an attack and duck down as if to avoid the collision...

Then vanish. For now, all we get is the Imperials' bafflement as they find no trace of the Falcon. Only later will we find out where Han actually took the ship. It's a tantalizing little cliffhanger.

Next time, a masterful arrangement of visuals, music and theme...
