Publisher's summary
The Rebels Strike Back…
The war against the evil Galactic Empire is in its final stages. The Imperial forces are building another Death Star. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker saves his friends Han Solo and Princess Leia from the clutches of the crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Without the help of the wise Jedi Master, Yoda, Luke struggles to become a Jedi Knight. Armed with the power of the Force—and backed by Han, Leia, the small but strong Ewoks, and other Rebels—Luke must face Darth Vader and the merciless Emperor in a fight to the death.
Can Luke defeat the dark side of the Force? The future of the galaxy lies in his hands....
