Star Wars (1977) 105

On Zeltros, a perplexing situation unfolds: multiple civilizations launch an invasion, leading to the question of who has captured whom! Luke Skywalker, accompanied by the Hoojibs, steps in to potentially avert disaster. Adding to the complexity, Luke encounters the nefarious Toffs [sic] for the very first time! Jo Duffy is the writer behind "The Party's Over," complemented by Cynthia Martin's artistic illustrations.

Plif and Luke Skywalker observe the comical antics of the Hiromi at their workplace. Suddenly, Tofs forcefully enter, disrupting the scene and intimidating the Hiromi. Plif utilizes their mental abilities to discern that these Tofs are enemies of the Nagai, who originate from beyond the galaxy. Consequently, the Tof leader issues an order to apprehend all Nagai present.

Arno, Leonie, Chewbacca, alongside others, are seized as hostages. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian find themselves frustrated by their capture. Harmon contacts Den Siva to report the mission's success before proceeding to a designated meeting location. Han and Lando express their despair regarding the exchange. Den concludes the communication and is then captured by the Tofs, who also hold Princess Leia Organa and Dani. They mock Dani with threats of torture and express anticipation for their encounter with the Nagai. Leia's aides are brought to Den's chamber but manage to break free and engage in combat. Despite the Tof chief's order for their execution, Leia emphasizes their critical role in the conflict against the Nagai. Impressed, the chief escorts them to a shuttle for interrogation and demands that Den disclose the rendezvous point. He initially refuses but relents when the Tof threatens Dani's life. As Den and the Tof depart, Hoojibs enter, feigning ignorance to avoid suspicion from the guards. Plif telepathically communicates to Leia the events that transpired in the party room, assuring her that Luke has devised a strategy.

In the kitchen, a Tof is puzzled by a lightsaber, peering down its handle. Luke Skywalker employs the Force to activate the weapon, resulting in the death of another Tof. The leader, enraged, threatens the Hiromi, who, in turn, cowardly blame Luke. Unexpectedly, Luke breaks free from his restraints and is surrounded by a group of furious Hoojibs. As the Tofs advance, Luke levitates one of them, eliminates him, and reclaims both lightsabers. He and the Hoojibs launch a collective assault, but several Tofs pursue them to the room where Leia and Dani are held. Leia and Dani retaliate by tripping the Tofs. They attempt to fire their blasters, but they are ineffective because the Hoojibs had previously drained their energy.

Luke and the Hiromi arrive, swiftly defeating the remaining Tofs. Luke liberates Dani and Leia before embarking on a mission to rescue Leia's attachés. Leia also desires to free both the Nagai and the partygoers from the Tofs' control. Dani initially objects, expressing a desire for the Nagai's demise, but eventually concedes. Hookyr, Hirog, and other Hiromi enthusiastically celebrate their victory, but their excitement is cut short when Luke enlists their assistance in attacking the Tof command ship.
