Synopsis:
It was a dark time for the Rebel Alliance...
Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, had been delivered into the hands of
the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt. Determined to rescue him, Luke
Skywalker, Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian launched a hazardous
mission against Jabba's Tatooine stronghold.
The Rebel commanders gathered in all the warships of the Rebel fleet
into a single giant armada. And Darth Vader and the Emperor, who had
ordered construction to begin on a new and even more powerful Death
Star, were making plans to crush the Rebel Alliance once and for
all... |
