Presents a comic book version of "The Empire Strikes Back," in which familiar stories are altered by changing one key event, sending the action and characters in new directions.

As Leia undergoes Jedi training, Han and Chewbacca raise the money to pay their debt to Jabba the Hut, only to be betrayed and sold to Jabba instead. Darth Vader once again arrives too late when Han and Chrewbacca escape before he arrives, but Vader seizes Threepio, who was left behind and is forces him to give Vader the information he wants.

Following Luke's death, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca leave Cloud City moments before the arrival of Darth Vader, who is not happy to find that the rebels have fled and Boba Fett is missing. Leia and Han proceed to Dagobah, where they believe Yoda is waiting to train Han as a Jedi, but find that the training is meant for Leia instead.

In this alternate storyline to the movie "Star Wars," Luke Skywalker dies on the ice planet Hoth, but not before giving Han Solo the impression that Han is to go to the Dagobah system to train with Master Yoda to be a Jedi. An empire attack delays their departure, however, andthey have to stop at Lando Calrissian's Cloud City for repairs, where they find a nasty surprise waiting for them.
