Synopsis:
Darth Vader and the Emperor are dead, but the Empire lives on and
the Alliance must continue the struggle withh dwindling supplies of
cash and resources. Princess Leia, seeking rich, powerful allies to
bring into the Alliance and a new planet as a home for the
influential refugees of Alderaan, considers a proposal that could
tip the balance of power against the evil Empire.
The Hapes consortium, a cluster of sixty-three high-tech worlds, is
ruled by the Queen Mother, who wants Leia to marry her son, the
dashing and wealthy Prince Isolder. When Han Solo hears the news of
Leia's impending nuptials, he reacts with shock. Han always dreamed
of marrying Leia himself, but in spite of his heroic exploits he
feels that she sees him as nothing more than a shiftless rogue and
pirate, unworthy of her hand. Now he makes a desperate last gamble
to win her back. Tricking Leia into accompanying him, Han flees with
her to the beautiful and untamed planet Dathomir, where he hopes to
win her heart.
Fearing the imperious queen's reaction to Han's rash move, Luke
Skywalker forms an unlikely alliance with Prince Isolder to track
down the runaways. But as he, Artoo and Isolder set off to Dathomir,
Luke little suspects that it is the beginning of an adventure that
will lead to the discovery of an awesome treasure, a group of
Force-trained 'witches' and a showdown with an invincible foe. |
