The Battle Rages On…

Led by young Luke Skywalker, the Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Empire's most lethal weapon, the Death Star. Now the Empire strikes back, attacking the Rebels on the ice planet Hoth. Luke, Han Solo, and Princess Leia barely escape. Luke's teacher, Obi-Wan Kenobi, summons him to the Dagobah system, where Luke meets the wise Jedi Master Yoda. Yoda attempts to teach Luke the ways of the Force. Meanwhile, Han and Leia fall into a deadly trap set by their archenemy, Darth Vader.

Can Luke save his friends in time—and prevent Darth Vader from conquering the galaxy? The Force is strong…but its dark side may be even stronger.
