O que aconteceu na sala de jantar do Cloud City?

O Leigh Brackett de 1978 script de rascunho para o catchily-named " Sem título Star Wars Sequel " contém uma cena muito mais extensa 'Dining Salon' em que Vader revela seus planos como um grande boneco.

DISSOLVE TO INT DINING SALON – NIGHT

Everyone is at table, Darth Vader presiding at the head; he is neither eating nor drinking. Lando eats with a good appetite. The others Chewbacca sits quiet, not touching anything. Han and Leia have lost their appetites but both... and especially Han... are drinking wine. Looking at Lando and contemplating murder.

LANDO : You see, Han, I had no choice. I knew who the Princess was the moment you landed, I knew that the Empire wanted you both... and the Empire is important to me. I suppose that I really owe my comfortable existence here to the Empire, though I'm not a part of it, and I continue to trade with both sides. So I really had no choice.

HAN : I hope you were well paid. You know what’s going to happen to us.

LANDO : Lord Vader assured me that nothing would happen to any of you.

LEIA : Ha! I’ve enjoyed Lord Vader’s hospitality before. What’s the matter, Lord Vader? Have you gone so far beyond humanity that you no longer need to eat, or drink?

DARTH VADER : I have had to forego those simple pleasures, like an along with many others; but there are compensations I survive. And you’re forgetting something, Princess. When we entertained you aboard the Death Star, you had information that we needed. Now you have nothing.

LEIA : Then... I don’t understand.

DARTH VADER : Luke Skywalker.

HAN : Luke!?

LEIA : What about him? But I don’t know where he is... or even if he’s still alive.

DARTH VADER : He’s alive. And he’ll find you, because he loves you.

HAN : That’s ridiculous. He could search for...

DARTH VADER : He’ll find her. And until then, we wait. I would advise you against any rash moves. I’ve set a guard on the Falcon so there’s no escape that way. I shan’t lock your doors unless you make it necessary.

LEIA : It’s impossible. Luke hasn’t the faintest idea where we are. You must be out of your mind.

DARTH VADER : Then there’s no need to worry, is there?

LEIA : Any time the Empire is around, I worry.

She rises and strides out, not excusing herself or looking back.

HAN : Guess I’ll go, too. The air’s bad in here. Coming, Chewie Chewbacca?

Chewie growls. They go out. Darth Vader looks after them. Lando glances at him uneasily, then goes on with his meal. But he too seems to have lost his appetite.

Futuros rascunhos removeram a cena em si, mas mantiveram a maior parte do diálogo de Lando com Han / Leia.

A única resposta possível que posso pensar é se eles elaboraram ou não essa cena nos vários rascunhos do roteiro. De acordo com a página Wookieepedia do Empire Strikes Back, na seção de bastidores, eles mencionam que o roteiro passou por vários rascunhos de vários autores. Infelizmente eu nunca vi, nem sei como adquirir, versões anteriores de roteiros que não foram utilizados.

Link e legenda:

Lucas hired screenwriter Leigh Brackett to write a screenplay based on his story treatment. Brackett finished the first draft on February 23, 1978 but she died soon afterwards. According to Lucas, he didn't like the direction in which her screenplay went. Without a writer to fix it, he was forced to write the second draft himself throughout March[4]. Major plot changes were made compared to the first draft and the storyline that is in the film was formed in this draft. One of the most notable changes was making Vader Luke's father[4]. When Lawrence Kasdan finished writing the screenplay for Raiders of the Lost Ark he was hired to rewrite and improve Lucas' draft. He wrote a few more drafts before the script conference was held in November between George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan, Irvin Kershner and Gary Kurtz. After some additional input, the shooting script was finally formed. Minor changes to dialogues came from Kershner and actors throughout the filming and were mostly approved by Lucas.

Edit: Aparentemente, é possível encontrar pelo menos alguns dos rascunhos mais antigos dos roteiros do Empire Strikes Back. O link a seguir leva à versão em pdf on-line do rascunho original de Leigh Brackett, que aparentemente vazou on-line por volta de 2010, de acordo com estes: fonte 1 , source 2 , fonte 3 . Examinando o rascunho de Brackett, em torno do segmento 193 SALÃO DE JANTAR INT - NOITE, há um dialoque na mesa de jantar entre Han, Lando, Vader e Leia.

Além disso, no link a seguir podem ser encontradas versões em texto do quarto rascunho e rascunho público, nenhum dos quais tem qualquer interação adicional na sala de jantar após a cena inicial. Significa que foi tirado entre o rascunho de Brackett e o quarto rascunho.

É só vai ser especulação. Foi apenas nunca escrito porque nada na cena poderia ser mais chocante / tensão do que a própria revelação.

Uma vez que Vader estava com a arma terminada, eles simplesmente teriam que se render. Vader poderia muito bem provocar a Princesa, como fazia toda vez que eles se encontravam cara a cara. No entanto, ele estaria mais propenso a simplesmente dizer "tira-los".
