In the meantime, romantic tensions are at an all-time high in the galaxy's most complicated love triangle, bounty hunters are after Han Solo, and Jabba the Hutt is waiting in the shadows. Luke seeks guidance from the great Jedi Master Yoda on the swamp planet Dagobah, but the Emperor is plotting to corrupt the young Rebel hero. As the battle for Skywalker's soul commences, will his fear give way to anger, hate, and ultimately, the dark side? Everything is building up to an epic confrontation. Prepare yourself for a major disturbance in the Force! This collection includes STAR WARS (1977) issues 39 through 44.
