A more passionate Luke and Leia Kiss
I found this at http://www.starwarz.com/tbone/cut_scenes/ep5/forbidden_kiss.htm
a version of the script never used
Luke is out of the chamber, lying on the bed previously occupied by Han. Leia is at his side. She brushes the hair out of his eyes and runs her fingers along the scar on his face.theres a clip to i havnt checked it out yetLEIA
The Bacta are growing well.
The scars should be gone in a day or so.
Does it still hurt?LUKE
I'm fine. Really. Leia...
when I was out there and it looked pretty bad...
well, it made me think about things.LEIA
Me too. I was afraid.Their eyes meet. Luke touches her cheek with his hand.
LUKE
I don't really know how to say this...
I never have before... Leia,
you know how I feel about you...She does and it's confusing. Their lips are very close. About to kiss. The door opens noisily and Threepio enters with Artoo. Leia pulls back, startled. Luke realizes the moment has been lost. His mind races for a way to regain it as Leia takes on her more formal manner. The droids are a bothersome distraction; Luke's concentration is on Leia. Artoo beeps a cheerful greeting.
THREEPIO
Master Luke, it's so good to
see you functional again.LUKE
Thanks, Threepio. Leia...Artoo beeps and whistles.
THREEPIO
Artoo expresses his relief also.LUKE
Good. Thanks, Artoo.LEIA
(about to leave)
You rest now.THREEPIO
So much has happened during the
period of your indisposition, sir.LEIA
I'll be back later.LUKE
(anxious to keep her)
Leia... What would you think
if I went away for a while?LEIA
What did you say?!Leia's reaction is so much bigger and more vociferous than Luke expected, it starts what is to become a growing snowball of confusion for him.
LEIA
Where are you going?LUKE
I have this... feeling.
I'm not sure, really...LEIA
That's just great. Why doesn't
everyone just take off?LUKE
What are you talking about?LEIA
First Han, now you. When am I going to
learn not to count on anyone but myself?...LUKE
Han's leaving?LEIA
... I was getting along just fine
before I met you two moon jockeys.LUKE
Calm down, will ya?
Tell me about Han.LEIA
He wants to pay off that
criminal he's in hock to.LUKE
Jabba the Hutt?LEIA
(back to her tirade)
I could get more loyalty if I went down
the hall and recruited some of
those snow creatures.LUKE
Snow creatures... they're here?!THREEPIO
Yes, sir. But they're being
trapped quite cleverly.Artoo beeps and whistles proudly.
THREEPIO
(to Artoo)
What do you mean, you took care of that?
I would hardly call your part in that matter great...Luke's head is spinning as Han and Chewie make a vigorous entrance. The Wookiee GROWLS a greeting.
HAN
Hi kid, you look strong enough to wrestle a Gundark.LUKE
Thanks to you.HAN
That's two you owe me, junior.Han turns to Leia with a big, devilish grin.
HAN
Well, your worship, it looks like you arranged
to keep me close by for a while longer.LEIA
I had nothing to do with it. General Rieekan thinks
it's dangerous for any ships to leave the system
until we know where that probe came from.LUKE
Probe? What probe?HAN
That makes a good story. But I think you
just can't bear to let me out of your sight.LEIA
I don't know where you get
your delusions, laser brains.Chewie is amused; he LAUGHS in his manner. Han is enjoying this. He regards Chewie good-humoredly.
HAN
Laugh it up, fuzz ball. You didn't see
her alone with me in the south passage.Luke sparks to this; he looks at Leia.
LEIA
(to Luke)
I don't know what he's talking about.HAN
Ooops! I guess you haven't
told Luke about that yet.LUKE
About what?HAN
Now don't get the wrong idea, pal. She was
just trying to express her true feelings for me.LEIA
(to Han)
You must have gone completely
out of your feeble mind.HAN
Come on, your highness, are you telling me
you haven't been thinking about that kiss?Leia is flushed, eyes darting between Luke And Han.
LEIA
Why you low-down, stuck-up, half-witted,
scruffy-looking nerf-herder.HAN
Who's scruffy-looking? (a big grin)
I tell ya' sweetheart, I must've hit pretty close
to the mark to get you hoppin' like this.
Doesn't it look that way to you, Luke?LUKE
(staring at Leia)
Yeah... it does... kind of.Leia looks vulnerable for a moment, then the mask again, focusing on Luke.
LEIA
Oh it does, does it? Well, I guess you
don't understand everything about women yet...
do you, sonny?With that Leia leans over and kisses Luke on the lips. Then she stands and walks out. Everyone is dumbstruck. The door closes behind Leia and they all look at each other in silence.
In the distance, the muffled sound of an alarm is heard.
