Plot summaryEdit

Book VI, Part III
YODA'S SECRET WAR

It is a time of renewed hope for the Rebel Alliance as
heroic rebel soldiers strive to overthrow Imperial efforts
throughout the galaxy.

When rebel droid C-3PO gets captured by Scar Squadron, a
team of elite stormtroopers, R2-D2 takes off on a solo
rescue mission, stranding Luke in his X-wing. While
searching for R2-D2, Luke turns to the journal of Ben
Kenobi, which contains a story from the earlier days of
Master Yoda.

After a daring rescue, Yoda feels a calling in the Force
and follows it – to a planet inhabited only by child
warriors. The warriors lead the Jedi Master to a sacred
rock where they meditate to strengthen their "stonepower".
Jealous of Yoda's abilities with the Force, they send him
deep into the heart of the mountain to seek a mysterious
power....
