Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from Infinities:
The Empire Strikes Back comic series:
- Issues 1, 2, 3 & 4:
With the Death Star destroyed, Luke Skywalker
leaves Hoth to train as a Jedi with Yoda. Han Solo
is encased in carbonite on Cloud City. Vader's dark
secret is revealed. You know the story. Or do you?!
In the unique Infinities universe, nothing is taken
for granted. Have you ever wondered how things would
play out if Han never rescued battered Luke on
Hoth's frozen tundra? If Boba Fett arrived at Cloud
City earlier and cut a deal with Lando? If Vader
uncovered secret Rebel information hidden in C-3PO,
the droid young Anakin Skywalker created?
Our heroes deal with the aftermath of Luke
Skywalker's death and a catastrophic attack on the
Rebel Alliance's Hoth base as Boba Fett arrives at
Cloud City early to cut a deal with Lando. Thinking
that Fett's boss is Jabba the Hutt, Han and his
Rebel allies leave Cloud City behind...and you won't
believe what fate has in store for the city in the
clouds! Searching for a Jedi Master in the jungles
of Dagobah, Han Solo thinks that he's on his way to
becoming a Jedi Knight...but the Force has big plans
for someone else!
Han Solo is as skilled, clever, and resourceful as
they come, but this time even HE may have bitten off
more than he can chew. With Jabba the Hutt's bounty
on his head, there doesn't seem to be a place in the
known galaxies where he can hide for long. But, Han
Solo is smart. That's why he comes clean and plans
to pay Jabba back what's owed from a botched
smuggler's run. Enter a shrewd Devronian with a
taste for money that decides Solo's a prize that's
too good to pass up. And since this mercenary is
working for Jabba directly, it doesn't bode well for
Solo and Chewie. What fate will await them in the
dark, odorous prison-depths of Jabba's palace? And
what infamous, uninvited guest will drop by and
completely alter the chase for the last living
Skywalker?
Dagobah is a mysterious place. Beneath the heavy
canopy of ancient trees lies a strange jungle
inhabited by creatures in caves and swamps not seen
elsewhere. Dagobah is also home to the greatest
living Jedi Master, Yoda. It's here that he has
trained young Leia Skywalker to take her rightful
place in the Jedi Order. Though she has quickly
learned what he's taught her, she is not a Jedi yet.
She has two important final tasks to complete. Yoda,
too, has a final mission. His home is about to
become a battleground, as he faces the fiercest
soldier the dark side has ever commanded: Darth
Vader! In a mortal confrontation on an astral plane,
these warriors will clash for the fate of the
universe!
