Star Wars 43: The Empire Strikes Back: Betrayal at Bespin constitutes the forty-third installment within the Marvel comic book series titled Star Wars.
Seeking shelter, Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa make their way to Cloud City, anticipating a safe haven with Solo's longtime acquaintance, Lando Calrissian. However, the Galactic Empire had already taken control, resulting in the capture of the Rebels. Darth Vader inflicts torture upon Solo, with the intention of drawing Luke Skywalker to Bespin. Subsequently, he freezes the smuggler in carbonite to guarantee the process's effectiveness for his intended target, Skywalker. Concurrently, on Dagobah, Yoda is instructing Luke in the principles of the Force, and the aspiring Jedi experiences premonitions of his companions suffering in Cloud City. Against Yoda's advice, Luke resolves to attempt their rescue.
