Plot summary[]

STAR WARS

After their resupply mission for the Rebel Alliance is exposed to
the Empire, Han Solo and Chewbacca seek refuge in the Coruscant
underworld, where they are being hunted by Boba Fett.
Meanwhile, at the construction site of the second Death Star,
Darth Vader, having fallen from the Emperor's favor, finds an
unexpected ally in the Force…

Luke Skywalker, who has been grounded for breaking mission
protocol, receives a warning from the ghost of Ben Kenobi—which
prompts him to further disobey orders…

And Princess Leia and her elite X-wing squadron are cornered by
Colonel Bircher's Star Destroyers and his TIE interceptor group—
forcing Leia and her pilots to make a stand…possibly their last.
