Transcript

Although the Death Star has been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the rebel forces from their hidden base and pursued them across the galaxy. Evading the dreaded Imperial Star team, a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Han.

The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding young Skywalker, dispatches thousands of remote probes into the far reaches of space. One of the Imperial probes finds its mark, the Rebel forces inhospitable plait. Not far away, Luke's level rings his 10 foot town town to a point.
