Star Wars 92, published by Marvel Comics on November 13, 1984, represents the ninety-second installment in the Legends comic book series titled Star Wars. Mary Jo Duffy penned the story, while Jan Duursema provided the illustrations. This issue presents the narrative "The Dream," where Luke Skywalker experiences ominous visions foretelling the resurgence of Lord Flint.
Admiral Ackbar is on the forest moon of Endor, supervising an Alliance assembly. Reports from various planets suggest that well-organized Imperial forces might still exist throughout the galaxy, necessitating the Alliance fleet's continued readiness. Simultaneously, Luke Skywalker is plagued by terrifying visions of Vader removing his mask. Subsequently, a lone starfighter makes a landing near the Alliance base. The pilot identifies himself as Denin, the last surviving member of the royal family from the planet Naldar. Denin seeks Skywalker's guidance in learning the ways of the Force to liberate his home planet. Luke, however, expresses uncertainty about his ability to impart the lost arts of the Force.
Admiral Ackbar determines that deploying ships to Naldar is not feasible but authorizes a reconnaissance mission. This mission includes Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, Denin, and Luke's apprentice Barney. Barney hopes to locate his missing childhood friend Flint on Naldar. Before their departure, Luke experiences another dream where Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his father Anakin Skywalker reveal that his nightmares of Vader are actually his interpretation of a dark power. Then, a dark knight clad in black armor appears in Luke's vision, replacing Darth Vader.
Upon arriving at Naldar, TIE fighters compel the Millennium Falcon to crash-land. As the group explores the ruins of a massive battle, they find themselves surrounded by Imperial stormtroopers. Their leader, who is the same dark knight from Luke's vision, is revealed to be Barney's former friend, Flint, now corrupted by the dark side. As Luke engages Flint in a lightsaber duel, Leia and the droids uncover documents proving that Prince Denin of Naldar died several years prior. When confronted with this information, Denin confesses that she is actually Denin's twin sister, Vila, who assumed his identity and his aspiration to become a Jedi following his death.
Just as the group joins Luke to aid him in his duel, a stormtrooper sniper shoots Luke, ending the fight. Barney confronts Flint, reminding him that the empire he serves was responsible for his mother's death, causing Flint to question his path.
Hearing this, the stormtrooper sniper turns his blaster on his former commander, accusing Flint of betrayal. However, before he can kill Flint, Vila charges at the stormtrooper with Luke's lightsaber, intercepting the shot with her body. Realizing the consequences of his actions, Flint uses a destruction device to eliminate his troops, preventing further conflict on the planet. Vila, dying in Luke's arms, finds peace in acting as a true Jedi and passes away into the Force. There, she encounters her brother and Master Yoda, finally fulfilling her dream of learning the ways of the Force.
