"This is an ice worm borrow...! The polar region's honeycombed with 'em!"
―Odan[3]

Plot summary[]

In order to escape a savage ice storm, Luke Skywalker directs R2-D2, C-3PO, Odan, and Fafnir to turn whatever heat induction units or blasters they have on the ground. The Rebels break through to the underground tunnels bored by an ice worm. They travel down the tunnel to catch up to the Imperials who have kidnapped Princess Leia Organa, unaware that an ice worm has begun tracking them.

Notes and references[]

  1. Pizzazz 15
  2. "The Keeper's World" and "The Kingdom of Ice" depict the Rebel Alliance still occupying their base on Yavin 4 after the Battle of Yavin, meaning that the stories must fall between Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and the Evacuation of Yavin as shown in "Doom Mission". The New Essential Chronology dates the Battle of Yavin and Evacuation of Yavin to 0 ABY and 0.5 ABY respectively.
