General Dodonna:
The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet. Its defenses are designed around a direct, large-scale assault. A small one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense.Gold Leader:Pardon me for asking, sir, but what good are snub fighters going to be against that?General Dodonna:Well, the Empire doesn't consider A small one-man fighter to be any threat, or they'd have a tighter defense. An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station. But the approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's A small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only A precise hit will set off a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes.Wedge Antilles:That's impossible! Even for a computer.Luke:It's not impossible.

The battle station is heavily shielded
00:00:03.169 --> 00:00:06.627
and carries a firepower greater than half the starfleet
00:00:07.034 --> 00:00:11.424
Its defenses are designed around a direct large scale assault
00:00:12.001 --> 00:00:16.717
A small one man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense
00:00:18.518 --> 00:00:19.598
Pardon me for asking sir
00:00:19.686 --> 00:00:22.302
but what good are snub fighters against that
00:00:22.397 --> 00:00:26.982
The empire doesn't consider a small one man fighter to be any threat
00:00:27.001 --> 00:00:29.073
or they'd have a tighter defense
00:00:29.904 --> 00:00:33.192
An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia
00:00:33.283 --> 00:00:36.366
has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station
00:00:37.203 --> 00:00:39.194
The approach will not be easy
00:00:39.831 --> 00:00:42.413
You're required to maneuver straight down this trench
00:00:42.005 --> 00:00:45.116
and skim the surface to this point
00:00:45.962 --> 00:00:48.704
The target area is only two meters wide
00:00:48.882 --> 00:00:52.466
It's a small thermal exhaust port right below the main port
00:00:54.012 --> 00:00:56.879
The shaft leads directly to the reactor system
00:00:56.973 --> 00:00:59.715
A precise hit will start a chain reaction
00:00:59.809 --> 00:01:02.998
which should destroy the station
00:01:02.103 --> 00:01:05.001
Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction
00:01:05.732 --> 00:01:08.895
The shaft is ray shielded so you'll have to use proton torpedoes
00:01:09.402 --> 00:01:11.142
That's impossible even for a computer
00:01:11.999 --> 00:01:12.443
But it's not impossible
00:01:12.053 --> 00:01:15.001
I used to bull's eye womp rats in my t 16 back home
00:01:15.116 --> 00:01:17.001
They're not much bigger than two meters
00:01:17.619 --> 00:01:20.782
Then man your ships and may the force be with you
