Ben's Cave


Kayo Organa : 
Profits have been good. 
After the disaster 
of The Republic
The Empire is finally 
lining some pockets. 

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
There are still some issues 
that we need to address :
Slave Labor, Taxation 
of The Outer Rim... 

Kayo Organa : 
I didn't come here 
to End Slavery, Bail—
I came to Eat Your Food
( Chuckles )
 Save The Bleeding Heart 
for The Senate. 


The Senator's Wife :
....A Drink, Senator? 

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
( Sighs
Ah. Thank You.
 
( Alien speaking other language ) 
( C-3PO translating in other language ) 

Y-O :
( serving her a drink )
Your Highness. 

Princess Leia Organa
of Alderaan (Age 10) :
Oh. Thanks, Y-O.

 Y-O :
My Pleasure


Cousin K-O Organa
Son of Kayo :
( ScoffsYou Thank Your droids

Princess Leia Organa
of Alderaan (Age 10) :
It's Good Manners

Cousin K-O Organa
Son of Kayo :
You don't need manners 
when you're talking to 
a lower life-form. 

Princess Leia Organa
of Alderaan (Age 10) :
Then I guess I don't need manners 
when I'm talking to you

Cousin K-O Organa
Son of Kayo :
( Chuckles
You know the difference 
between You and Me, Cousin? 
I know things. 

My Father Says they never 
let you leave This Planet --
They don't want anybody 
to know about You because 
You're not One of Us. 

You're not even 
a real Organa. 

( Scoffs )

Princess Leia Organa
of Alderaan (Age 10) :
 You're scared of him. 
Your Father. 

You want him to Like You, 
so you repeat What He Says, 
even though you don't 
really know What it Means

You Think being Like Him will 
make people frightened 
of you, but really, you're 
the one who's scared. 

You've never made one decision 
for yourself in your entire life, 
and you never will

I may not have 
seen much, Cousin -- 
But I can see that

He was being horrible 
to everyone. 

He's your cousin

He's rude to droids

You have to rise above, Leia. 
You owe him an apology. 

I'd rather be digested 
by a jakobeast. 

Bail: 
I wanted to live out 
way past Kathou when 
I was your age. 

Chase purrgil, you know? 
had a whole plan. 

What happened? 

I got older —
Had to find some other adventures. 
Started chasing Your Mother instead. 

This is Your Future, Leia. 
In a few years, you'll 
be off to University, 
then Junior Senate. 

Leia: 
The Senate's boring. 
It's people in itchy clothes arguing. 

( Laughing ) 
Well, it may seem so... 

I don't want to be a Senator. 

That’s why you'll probably 
be one of the best

I'm not even a real Organa. 

What? Don't ever say that. 
You are Our Child
You are an Organa 
in every way. 

One day, This Planet 
will look to you, Leia. 

There are many ways to lead. 
You just have to find yours. 

Plus, imagine the look 
on your cousin's face 
when you get to boss him 
around for real

( Both laugh ) 

But for now, 
we will... apologise
Yes, Father. 

Hmm. I'll wait for 
you downstairs. 

( Leia sighs ) 

Thank you. 

She's gone. I thought you said 
you've really got through to her. 

You know what she's like. 

I know who she's like. 

Send a unit. She can't be far. Vect: Hello, Princess. Why are you here? Just waiting. For what? For you. ( Gasps ) ( Leia panting ) ( All panting ) ( Grunting ) ( Grunts ) ( Shouting ) ( Groans ) Leia: Help! Help! ( Panting ) Help! Help me, please! ( Groans ) ( Panting ) 
( Device beeping ) 


Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
We don't know who it was. 
No ransom, no leads
Whoever they are, they knew 
where she would be. 
They... They were waiting. 
( Clears throat ) 
She needs you, Obi-Wan. 
We can't Trust anyone else. 

Ben :
What about The Senate? 

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
We cannot let this become public
It would draw too much attention. 

Ben :
Well, Your Guard then? 
Or a bounty hunter? 

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
Only you know how important 
she really is, Obi-Wan. 
If Leia is discovered... 

Ben :
I can't leave here, Bail. 
My Duty is to The Boy... 

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
What about Your Duty to His Sister
She's as important as he is. 

Ben :
( Sighs ) It's been TEN YEARS
I'm not who I used to be. 
Find Someone Else....
She'll be better off

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
She's headed for Daiyu

Ben :
….You should not have come. 

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
They hid their signature 
behind a freight transport. 
The Ship is on its way there now. 

Ben :
I can't

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
She's My Daughter, Obi-Wan. 



Ben :
I told you... I'm not 
The Man You Remember.

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
 You're going to have to be! 


Ben :
I can't leave The Boy. 


Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
This isn't about The Boy, 
and you know it! 

You've made mistakes
We all did. 
It's The Past. Move on
Be done with it —

You couldn't Save Anakin, 
but You can Save Her

Ben :
And what if I can't

Senator Bail Organa
of Alderaan :
….There is no-one I Trust more 
with My Child than you

Please, old friend. For her
One last fight.
