Meta Minute

 This minute is the finale of the deleted Wampa storyline (in the Brackett Draft).
 *Wampas were on the loose on the base and they were freezing people.
 *They were attracted to the sound of the radios so the Rebels lured them into a room, close the door and put a warning sticker on it.
 *As they evacuate, C-3PO peels the sticker.

Quotes

  • Pete: (with mild surprise) This is fun. Still.
  • Pete: One "get out of choke free" card.
