Luke and the Rancor
A interstellar gangster, the villain and monstrous Jabba the Hutt, has hurried luke Skywakler, the Jedi Knight, into the lair of the monstrous Rancor, Princess Leia, a captive of Jabba, watches in agony …. But the creatures of Jabba’s court caper in anticipation. Now read on ….
The floor suddenly dropped away, sending Luke and his guard crashing into the pit below. The trapdoor immediately closed again. All the beasts of the court rushed to the floor-grating and looked down.
‘Luke’ yelled Leia. She felt part of herself torn away, pulled down into the pit with him. She started forward, but was held in check by the manacle around her throat.
In the pit below, Luke picked himself up form the floor. He found he was now in cave-like dungeon, the walls formed of craggy boulders pocked with lightless crevices. The half-chewed bones of countless animals were strewn over the floor, smelling of decayed flesh and twisted in fear.
Twenty-feed above him, in the ceiling, he saw the iron grating through which Jabba’s repugnant courtiers peered.
The guard beside him suddenly began to scream uncontrollably as door in the side of the cave slowly rumbled open. With infinite calm, Luke surveyed his surroundings as the removed his long robe down to his Jedi tunic to give him more freedom of movement. He backed quickly to the wall and crouched there, watching.
Out of the side passage emerged the giant Rancor. The size of an elephant, it was somehow reptilian, somehow as unformed as a nightmare. Its huge mouth was asymmetrical in its head, its fangs and as wild as all unreason.
The guard picked up the pistol form the dirt where it had fallen and began firing laser burts aat the hideous monster. This only made the beast angrier. It lumbered toward the guard.
The guard kept firing. Ignoring the laser blasts, the beast grabbed the hysterical guard propped him into its slavering jaws, and swallowed him in a gulp. The audience above cheered, laughed, and threw coins.
The monster then turned and started for Luke. But the Jedi Knight leaped eight meters straight up and grabbed onto the overhead grate. The crowd began to boo. Hand over hand, Luke traversed the grating toward the corner the corner of the cave, struggling to maintain his grip as the audiencejeered his efforts. One hand slipped on the oily gird, and he dangled precariously over the baying mutant.
Two Jawas ran across the top of the grate and mashed Luke’s fingers with their rifle butts; once again, the crowd roared its approval.
The Rancor pawed at Luke from below, but the Jedi dangled just out of reach. Suddenly, Luke released his hold and dropped directly onto the eye of the howling monster; he then tumbled to the floor.
The Rancor screamed in pain and stumbled, swatting its own face to knock away the agony. It ran in circles a few times, then spot Luke again and came it him. Luke stopped down to pick up the long bone of an earlier victim. He brandished it before him. The gallery above thought this was hilarious and hooted in delight.
The monster grabbed Luke and brought him up to its salivating mouth. At the last moment, Luke wedged the bone deep in the Rancor’s mouth and jumped to the floor as the beast began to gag. The Rancor bellowed and failed about, running headlong into a wall. Several rocks were dislodged, starting an avalanche that nearly buried Luke as he crouched deep in a crevice near the floor. The crowd clapped in unison.
The Rancor, meanwhile, had knocked the bone from its mouth and enraged, was scrabbling through the rubble of fallen rocks, searching for Luke. Luke, though his vision was partially obscured by the pile that will sheltered him, could now see past the monster to a holding cave beyond- and beyond that, to a utility door. If only he could get to it.
The Rancor knocked away a boulder and spotted Luke recoiling in the crevice. Voraciously, it reached in to pluck the body out. Luke grabbed a large rock and smashed it down on the creature’s finger as hard as he could. As the Rancor jumped, howling in pain once more, Luke ran for the holding cave.
He reached the doorway and ran in. before him, a heavy barred gate blocked the way. Luke turned around to see the monster coming angrily after him. He turned back to the gate and tried to open it.
Luke backed against the slide wall as the Rancor reached in the room for him. Suddenly, Luke saw the restraining-door control panel halfway up the opposite wall. The Rancor began to enter the holding room, closing for the kill, when all at once Luke picked up a skull from the floor and hurled it at the panel.
The panel exploded in a shower of sparks, and the giant iron overhead restraining door came crashing down on the Rancor’s head, crushing it like an axe smashing through a ripe watermelon.
Those in the audience above gasped as one, then were silent. They were all truly stunned at this bizarre turn of events. They all looked to Jabba, who was furious with rage. Never had he felt such fury. Leia tried to hide her delight, but was unable to keep from smiling, which increased Jabba’s anger even further. Harshly, he snapped at his guards: ‘Get him out there. Bring me Solo and the Wookiee. They will all suffer for this outrage.’
In the pit below, Luke stood calmly as several of Jabba’s henchmen ran in, clapped him in bonds, and ushered him out.
The Rancor keeper wept openly and threw himself down on the body of his dead pet. Life would be a lonely proposition for him from that day.

Luke berhenti turun untuk mengambil tulang panjang dari korban sebelumnya. Dia mengacungkan didepannya. Galeri atas pikir ini lucu dan bersorak gembira.
Rakasa tersebut meraih Luke dan membawanya ke mulutnya air liur. Pada saat terakhir, Lukas terjepit tulang jauh di mulut dendam dan melompat ke lantai saat binatang itu mulai muntah. Dendam tersebut berteriak dan gagal sekitar, berjalan cepat ke dinding.Beberapa batu copot, memulai longsoran yang hampir terkubur Luke saat ia berjongkok jauh di celah dekat lantai. Orang-orang bertepuk tangan serempak.
Dendam, sementara itu, telah mengetuk tulang dari mulut dan marah, sedang mencari-cari melalui reruntuhan batu jatuh, mencari Luke.
