Admiral Ackbar
- Lando Calrissian: We've gotta be able to get some kind of a reading on that shield, up or down.
- Nien Nunb: [speaks in Sullustese]
- Lando Calrissian: But how could they be jamming us if they don't know... if we're coming?
- [over comlink]
- Lando Calrissian: Break off the attack! The shield is still up!
- Wedge Antilles: I get no reading. Are you sure?
- Lando Calrissian: Pull up! All craft, pull up!
- Admiral Ackbar: Take evasive action! Green group, stick close to holding section MV-7!
- Mon Calamari: Admiral! We have enemy ships in sector 47!
- Admiral Ackbar: It's a trap!
- Lando Calrissian: [after seeing the Death Star is operational] Home One, this is Gold Leader.
- Admiral Ackbar: We saw it. All craft, prepare to retreat.
- Lando Calrissian: We won't get another chance at this, Admiral.
- Admiral Ackbar: We have no choice, General Calrissian! Our cruisers can't repel firepower of that magnitude!
- Lando Calrissian: Han will have that shield down. We've got to give him more time!
- Admiral Ackbar: The Shield is down! Commence attack on the Death star's main reactor.
- Lando Calrissian: We're on our way, Red group, Gold group, all fighters follow me. Ha ha ha, I told you they'd do it!
- Lando Calrissian: Yes, I said *closer*! Move as close as you can, and engage those Star Destroyers at point blank range!
- Admiral Ackbar: At that close range we won't last long against those Star Destroyers!
- Lando Calrissian: We'll last longer than we will against that Death Star! And we might just take a few of them with us!
- Admiral Ackbar: You can see here, the Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor. Although the weapon systems on this Death Star or not yet operational, the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism. It is protected by an energy shield which is generated from the nearby forest moon of Endor.
- [the projector shows the Death Star and the yellow lights indicating the shield]
- Admiral Ackbar: The shield must be deactivated, if any attack is to be attempted.
- [the projector enlarges the Death Star image]
- Admiral Ackbar: Once the shield is down, our cruisers will create a perimeter, while our fighters fly into the superstructure and attempt to knock out the main reactor.
