Synopsis

After The Empire Strikes Back and before The Return of the Jedi, there was a time when heroes and villains alike lived in the shadows of the Empire.

As Princess Leia tries to foil Boba Fett's plan to deliver the carbonite-encased Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt, so Darth Vader scours the galaxy for his son, Luke Skywalker.

Meanwhile, the sinister figure of Xizor looms, bent on replacing Vader as the Emperor's right hand. Luke finds himself the prize in a power struggle between the two most evil entities in the galaxy — one who wants him alive and one who wants him dead!
