Han Shot First

Far, far away on the outer rim
Where gangster Hutts grow fat on skim
Power converters never come
Evaporators drone all day
Luke worked on the moisture farm (hell to pay!)
Staring at suns that scorch the dunes
Darth Vader with his mangled face
Still couldn't find the rebel base

In orbit high o'er Tatooine
Laser flashes, sharp and mean
Secret plans in metal hands
Blast away to desert sands
Three P-O trembling, R2 brave
Stormtroopers hot and poorly behaved
Fresh tracks running through the sand
"Look, sir - a droid was here."

Time runs short
By the hour
Thunderous applause
Emergency powers

Throughout it all
The Force binds it together
From outer rim dust
To empire's thunder
You can't imagine how much it hurts
But everybody knows that Han shot first

That old lightsaber starts to glow
Did it belong to Vader? Maybe so
Don't worry now, young Luke
The truth will come when you are ready
Old hermit hiding in the sand
Truth half-veiled within his hand
"You are more than a farmer boy."
The Force is strong with you, my son

Smuggler grin and blaster faster
Ran the Kessel like a master
Landspeeder parked by the door
Cantina arm across the floor (not his anymore!)
Fast ship? Kid, don't trip
She'll outrun any Imperial ship
Lock it down, we're out the door
Meet me at Docking Bay Ninety-Four

Detention block, comm line squeaks
"We're all fine here," he nervously speaks
"Reactor leak..." he tries to add
The worst excuse he ever had
Blaster fire across the hall
This was not a plan at all
Garbage compactor walls that sway
"Get this walking carpet out of my way!"

"Meet at the ship!" No time to stall
Luke grabs Leia, blaster and all
They swing on cable across the span
Stormtroopers firing where they land
"I must face him alone. I know."
Red and blue in saber glow
"I'm taking an awful risk," the Grand Moff quips
As the Empire tracks the ship

Throughout it all
The Force binds it together

Target locked
Engines roar
Red lights flashing
Attack run four

That's no moon, that thing's a crime
Planet killer right on time
Engines scream down the trench
Vader closing, inch by inch (on the leader!)
Computer says the shot is right
A quiet voice says, "Trust the sight."
Proton torpedoes in the hole
Vader spins away as the station blows
The Death Star falls

Throughout it all
The Force binds it together
From outer rim dust
To shattered thunder
You can't imagine how close it got
Yahoo, kid - that was one great shot

Droids reunited
Throne room procession
Medals for all
Rebel ascension
