Quotes1

  • 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 (Red 2): That's impossible! Even for a computer.
  • Luke: It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters.
  • General Dodonna: Then man your ships. And may the Force be with you.
