MAAN MAHTHAAMA (IN VIDEO)
...For twenty years, Charles
Palpatine has taken our rights
away. For twenty years, he has lied
to us about what happened to the
Jedi, and about who killed our
noble sister Padima. For twenty

FIRST MATE

The Crewman opens the hooded man’s bag, revealing a large
block of ice. The hooded man realizes what the crewman is
doing, and looks down at him, mournfully.
HOODED MAN

had any alternative...
SMUGGLER CAPTAIN
Alternative to what?

crags and mountains jutting towards the sky at the edge of

ground like a meteorite, and explodes in a massive nuclear
fireball, rising above the horizon. The shockwave approaches
us and the sand blows around violently in the foreground.
