From: Jill Hendrickson Subject: Luke as Wiley Coyote Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1996 19:38:27 -0700 The rope throw question prompted this one. 1st try: Luke runs off the edge of the ramp and stops in mid-air about 10 feet away, his feet still running madly. Realizes there is nothing under him, stops running. Makes big eyes at the audience and disappears out of sight. Puff of dust at the bottom of the core shaft. 2nd try: we see Luke climbing back up the walls until he reaches the bridge. He runs off stage and comes back carrying an ACME "storm trooper utility belt kit". Opens up the kit and locates the rope and grappling hook. Throws rope up, it misses and boomerangs back, hitting him on the head. Luke passes out and little birdies tweet around his head. 3rd try: Luke throws rope again. It catches! but he lets go of belt which leaves his hands and hangs uselessly from the pipes above. Luke looks longingly at the out-of-reach belt. What a goof. 4th try: a new ACME "storm trooper utility belt kit". This time, Luke secures it about his waist with a knowing look at the audience-he's got it this time. He throw the rope again. It catches! He jumps off the edge, swings across. We see the rope continue to pull out of the utility belt and Luke sinking lower into the shaft and slam into the wall on the other side. Puff of dust at the bottom of the core shaft. 5th try: Luke crawls back up the sides of the shaft and gets back up on the bridge. He throws again. It catches! He latches the rope securely this time so no more of it will come out of the belt. He tests his weight, he swings across, he makes it! He looks back. He forgot Leia! etc...
