Plot summary[edit | edit source]

REBELS AND ROGUES
Part VI

The Rebel Alliance's greatest heroes have
embarked on three daring missions to thwart
the evil Galactic Empire.

On K43, C-3PO and Chewbacca have
encountered unexpected sentient life—and Darth
Vader—thwarting their plan of destabilizing the
planet's core to sabotage Imperial warships.
On Sergia, Luke's efforts to hide a secret Rebel
camp have been complicated after the thief
Warba Calip stole his lightsaber.

And on Lanz Carpo, Leia and Han's mission to
trick the Empire and the crime lord Boss Carpo
into fighting each other was complicated by the
interference of Leia's ex, Dar Champion. Dar's
now on their side, but Han's been captured by
Carpo's thugs....
