ELEVENTH ENTRY

LOCATION: CARGO

COMPARTMENT B2 ON THE

MILLENNIUM FALCON

Here is proof that when a just cause is involved, the impossible becomes possible.

I have escaped. I am on a ship called the Millennium Falcon, just gone into hyperspace, speeding toward the Rebel base.

The R2 unit is aboard. Soon, the plans will be analyzed, and the attack will be launched.

I’ve found an empty cargo hold to be alone and record the details of my escape. It seems strange to be aboard this junk heap of a ship, pushed up against an old crate, sneezing from the dust. My cell on the Death Star is far away now.

I fought my way out of the Death Star side by side with two strangers. Their names are Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. We were helped by the two droids—Artoo-Detoo and that chattering See-Threepio. Artoo turned out to be resourceful and… well, clever, if I can give a human quality to a droid. Antilles chose well when he picked him.

Then there is the Wookiee named Chewbacca. He looks like a walking fur coat with mange. But believe me, I was so glad to hear that Artoo had been located that I would have kissed Chewbacca, if I could have found his lips.

The most insignificant of my rescuers is the Corellian smuggler, Han Solo. Okay, he’s handy in a fight. I give him that. But he counts too much on his handsome looks and big talk. I’ve known him less than a day, and I’ve already figured out that nobody could be as big a fan of Han Solo as Han Solo himself.

He has no interest in a cause—his honor can be bought and sold. Money is his goal. His ship is as disreputable as he is. At least I’ve bought his cooperation for as long as I need it.

Luke Skywalker, the second stranger, is younger, about my age. When he burst into my cell back on the Death Star, I wasn’t exactly impressed. And my doubt increased instantly—as stormtroopers began firing at us. He and Captain Solo hadn’t bothered to formulate an escape plan. They had no clue about how to get off the prisoners’ dock—much less the Death Star!

The last member of the party was Obi-Wan Kenobi. And now I must record the sad news. My heart is heavy as I say this: Obi-Wan Kenobi is dead. He sacrificed himself to make sure the rest of us got away. Luke is especially saddened by the loss. I’m sorry, Luke.

I still can’t quite believe it either…
