5. An Imperial Star Destroyer
dispatched by the Sith Lord
Darth Vader, continuing his
quest for Luke Skywalker,
launches thousands of probe
droids across the galaxy, one of
which lands on Hoth and begins
itās survey of the planet.
6. Whilst finishing his patrol, Luke
Skywalker notices a meteorite hitting
the ground not far from him. He
reports to base that heāll go and check
it out but gets knocked unconscious
from his tauntaun by a fierce wampa.
When he regains consciousness he
finds himself hanging from the ceiling
of an ice cave and in front of him
thereās the wampa eating his
tauntaun.
7. Luke manages to cut himself free
with his lightsaber and cut off the
wampaās arm. He then quickly
escapes the wounded beast into
the cold night of Hoth.
Luke then tries to find his way to
the base but gets lost in the heavy
blizzard and collapses in the snow
from severe hypothermia.
His friend Han Solo sets out to look for
Luke after not hearing from him for a
while. He finds Luke barely alive, covered
by snow.
He cuts open his tauntaun using Lukeās
lightsaber and places Luke in it.
They are forced to spend the night
outside in the harsh weather .
The pair are later rescued by rest of
the rebel forces who set out in the
morning to look for them.
After in the base Princess Leia
confronts Han Solo on his decision to
leave rebel forces but their
confrontation is short lived because
sensors placed by the rebels indicate
that thereās an Imperial fleet closing in
to their location.
8. Before the rebels even had a chance to
react to the impending assault by
Empireās forces, the Empire had already
launched their massive AT-AT vehicles to
the ground to take out the rebelsā shield
generators.
The rebels, with Luke Skywalker in the
lead, tried to fend off the massive
invasion but with little success.
The rebel forces were chased away from
their new home on Hoth and our heroes
found themselves scattered across the
galaxy.
9. Our young Luke Skywalker, accompanied
by his trusty droid R2D2, left for the
Dagobah System to find the last living
Jedi Master, Master Yoda, to learn the
ancient Jedi ways.
Meanwhile our other heroes, Han Solo with
his trusty partner Chewie and princess Leia
were fighting for their lives among an
asteroid field trying to escape the Star
Destroyer onboard Han Soloās ship
Millennium Falcon, often referred to as the
fastest ship in the galaxy.
10. Unfortunately during the escape the
Millennium Falcon sustained heavy injuries
to itās hyperdrive and needed immediate
repairs. Han Solo decided to go and visit his
friend in Cloud City on the planet Bespin.
Upon arrival he was welcomed with open
arms by his friend Lando Calrissian who also
happened to own the city.
Little did they know that the Sith lord,
Darth Vader had already beaten them to
Cloud City and had made a deal with
Lando to give them up in change of
gaining neutrality from the Empireās forces
11. Now, by that time Luke had spent weeks
training with Yoda, the legendary Jedi Master.
And it was due to that training that Luke
was able to sense that his friends were
being tortured by the evil Sith lord, Vader.
Luke despite the teachings of Yoda decided
to go to the planet Bespin to try to save his
friends.
12. Realizing that Lord Vader was
never going to hold up his end
of the bargain Lando had a
change of heart and helped
Chewie and Leia escape.
Unfortunatly it was already too
late to help Han Solo because
Lord Vader had already given
him to a bounty hunter named
Boba Fett.
13. Arriving safely to the Cloud City, Luke started to look for his friends. He made his
way to a carbon freezing room where he met Darth Vader. The two started
fighting fiercely through out the complex but ultimately Luke wasnāt a match to
Darth Vaderās prowess.
14. Having driven Luke in to a corner Darth
Vader cut off Lukeās hand with his lightsaber
Darth Vader as a last measure to try and save Lukeās life reveals to him that HE is
in fact his father and offered Luke, for the last time, to join the Dark Side.
Luke baffled and cornered by Lord Vader
decides to jump off the ledge.
15. While in freefall Luke manages to
move himself near the exhaust
ports of the flying city. They suck
him in and throw him outside,
under the massive structure where
he luckily manages to grab hold of
an antenna. He uses telepathy to
reach out to Leia and tells her
where he is.
Lando, Leia and Chewie go back for
Luke and manage to escape Darth
Vaderās forces.
16. Lando takes Luke and Leia to a rebel
spaceship to get medical attention.
There Luke is given a new prosthetic
hand.
Lando and Chewie set out to find
where Han Solo was taken.
