Luke thought his duel against his father, Darth Vader, was the ultimate test. But Luke's trials have only just begun. The galaxy needs Luke Skywalker. And a Jedi needs a weapon! Meanwhile, Vader continues his search for his long-lost son, and the REBEL ALLIANCE finds itself on the verge of losing all hope.

Visions of a mysterious woman guide Luke to the planet Serelia, but instead of answers, Luke is ensnared in a deadly trap....
