:47:06
The emperor's made a critical error
and the time for our attack has come.
:47:10
The data brought to us by the Bothan
spies pinpoint the exact location...
:47:14
of the emperor's new battle station.
:47:16
We also know
that the weapon systems...
:47:18
of this Death Star
are not yet operational.
:47:20
With the imperial fleet
spread throughout the galaxy...
:47:23
in a vain effort to engage us...
:47:25
it is relatively unprotected.
:47:27
But most important of all...
:47:29
we've learned that
the emperor himself...
:47:31
is personally overseeing
the final stages...
:47:33
of the construction
of this Death Star.
:47:37
Many Bothans died
to bring us this information.
:47:43
Admiral Ackbar, please.
:47:45
You can see here the Death Star
orbiting the forest moon of Endor.
:47:50
Although the weapon systems on this
Death Star are not yet operational...
:47:55
the Death Star does have
a strong defence mechanism.
:48:00
It is protected by an energy shield...
:48:02
which is generated
from the nearby forest moon of Endor.
:48:11
The shield must be deactivated
if any attack is to be attempted.
:48:16
Once the shield is down,
our cruisers will create a perimeter...
:48:20
while the fighters
fly into the superstructure...
:48:23
and attempt to knock out
the main reactor.
:48:28
General Calrissian has volunteered
to lead the fighter attack.
:48:31
Good luck.
:48:34
You're gonna need it.
:48:36
General Madine.
:48:39
We have stolen a small imperial shuttle.
:48:42
Disguised as a cargo ship
and using a secret imperial code...
:48:46
a strike team will land on the moon
and deactivate the shield generator.
:48:51
Sounds dangerous.
:48:52
Wonder who they found
to pull that off.
:48:54
General Solo,
is your strike team assembled?
:48:58
My team's ready. I don't have
a command crew for the shuttle.
