The Empire commenced its regrouping process following the Rebel Alliance's initial high point – the obliteration of the formidable Imperial battle station, the Death Star. Though shaken, the Empire remained intact. Darth Vader, too, survived and sought retribution against the still-unorganized Rebel Alliance forces. This narrative details the transformation of Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and the droids from their celebratory welcome at the close of Star Wars: A New Hope to their subsequent existence as seasoned guerrillas, battling the oppressive Empire depicted in The Empire Strikes Back.
