A scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope 1977
Han Solo

[The Millenium Falcon is speeding away from Tatooine, being chased by Imperial cruisers]

Stay sharp! There are two more coming in. They're going to try to cut us off.

Luke Skywalker

Why don't you outrun them? I thought you said this thing was fast!

Han Solo

Watch your mouth, kid, or you'll find yourself floating home! We'll be safe once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose them. This is where the fun begins.

Ben Kenobi

How long before you make the jump to lightspeed?

Han Solo

It'll take a few moments to get the coordinates from the navicomputer.

Luke Skywalker

[frantic]

Are you kidding? At the rate they're gaining—

Han Solo

Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?

Luke Skywalker

[points to an alarm on the control panel]

What's that flashing?

Han Solo

We're losing our deflector shield! Go strap yourself in, I'm going to make the jump to light speed.
