Welcome to our STAR WARS Scripts Archive, perhaps the most complete single collection of scripts from the saga to be found anywhere on the Net. In time we're hoping to obtain all of the different drafts for each movie - those we are still searching for are listed below. Read on and see how George Lucas' story evolved ....
8th June 2002: Star Wars 1st Draft - July 1974 script added. Many thanks to Luke Galiazzo for sending it to us!

Just the one draft of the Episode I script for the time being. We don't know which draft this is in terms of how many came before it, but its pretty close to the final filmed version. Some sections of dialogue are slightly different and all the cutscenes are in there: Obi-Wan emerging from the lake in the swamp, Anakin fighting Greedo etc. We're still looking for earlier versions of the Episode I script - please e-mail us if you can help!
We now have almost all of the scripts for the movie that started it all in 1977. The scripts drafts date all the way back to 1973 though, and reading through them gives a fascinating insight into how the story and characters gradually evolved. Of course, we'd still like to get our hands on the remaining scripts (all by George Lucas):
Still only two scripts here at the moment - we're finding the others very hard to come by. As you will find out upon downloading the file, the "3rd Draft" may in actual fact be either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th draft, we're not 100% sure! The other script is essentially the revised fifth draft plus any additions that came in during filming: for example, Han's reply of "I know" when Leia tells him that she loves him was improvised by Harrison Ford on the set. So at the moment we are / could be missing the following Empire scripts:
Even fewer scripts in this section unfortunately - just the one. Again, there's some confusion over exactly which version of the script it is, due to a glaring error right at the start claiming the script's date to be December 1982. Hmm, 5 months before release? I don't think so. Reads pretty much like the movie to me, although it does feature Obi-Wan's extended dialogue in the Dagobah scenes when he explains the childhood separation of Luke and Leia. Quite interesting, and well worth checking out. If you know where we can get the following scripts from, please let us know:
