Description
This shooting script of the fourth draft of what would eventually become Episode IV: A New Hope is a fan-made replica of the actual script. It shows some significant differences from the text as it appears in the finished film, such as the name of Luke Starkiller instead of Luke Skywalker, and shows that Han shot first.
