The Nut Gatherers

Inside, Chewbacca worked feverishly to repair the complex powertrain. He hadscrambled into an overhead compartment to get at the wires that operated thehyperdrive system. But when he felt the first of the explosions, he popped his headout through the mass of wires and gave out a worried yelp. Princess Leia, who was welding a damaged valve, stopped her work and lookedup. The bombs sounded very close. See-Threepio glanced up at Leia and nervously tilted his head. "Oh, my," hesaid, "they've found us." Everyone became quiet, as if fearing that the sound of their voices mightsomehow carry and betray their exact position. Again the ship was shaken by a blast,less intense than the last. "They're moving away," Leia said. Han saw through their tactic. "They're just trying to see if they can stir upsomething," he told her. "We're safe if we stay put."
