It was a cold day on a cold planet, as Luke Skywalker goes to check out as asteroid. As he rides his Taun-Taun over to the spot where the asteroid landed he is attacked by a large beastly creature (Wompa). He barely escapes with his life, but all is not good. The cold overwhelms Luke and Luke falls to the ground. Han sets out to find Luke. He finds Luke, but the cold kills his Taun-Taun, so he has no way of getting back to the Rebel base. Unfortunately while trying to find Luke, Han encounters an Imperial probe droid. Because of this, the Empire knows where the Rebels are hiding. A snowspeeder brings Han and Luke back to base. Luckily, the Imperials pull out of hyperspace too soon giving the Rebels a chance. The Rebels are forced away from their base to a starcruiser deep in space. Han, Leia, Chewie, and the droids set off for Cloud City on Bespin. Darth is furious so he puts a bounty on Han's as well as Luke's head. Luke sets out for Dagobah to train with Yoda. Han and his party arrive on Bespin and Han meets an old friend named Lando Calrissian. Shortly before Han arrived on Bespin, the Empire made a deal with Lando. On Dagobah Luke senses that his friends are in danger. On Bespin, Lando delivers Han to the Empire and Han gets frozen in carbonite. Luke arrives and fights Darth Vader in a lightsaber duel. Luke gets his right chopped off and Darth reviels his past. Luke falls out down a shaft and finds himself holding onto a weathervane for dear life. Leia, Lando, And Chewie use the Millenium Falcon to rescue Luke. Luke gets a robotic hand, and they begin their quest to find Boba Fett and Han.
