Star Wars 3-D 3


Star Wars 3-D 3: The Dark Side of Dantooine represents the third installment in the Star Wars 3-D comic book series.

Plot summary

Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa embark on a quest to Dantooine with the goal of acquiring essential resources for their newly established base on the planet Hoth. Accompanied by R2-D2, the group rendezvous with an Ortolan Merchant to procure weaponry. During Leia's negotiation of the transaction, Luke encounters a group of ruffians who separate him from the meeting. The leader of the thugs instructs his underling Abel and several other thugs to escort Luke to the rooftop for reasons yet to be revealed. Upon their arrival, Luke surprises the group with his agility and defeats them using his lightsaber. Following the confrontation, Luke begins to perceive a voice urging him to venture further into the building. Luke eventually discovers the source of the voices: a race of Force-sensitive beings identifying as the Fairfolk. Unbeknownst to Luke, the Fairfolk are in league with Darth Vader, aiming to ensnare potentially dangerous Force-sensitives. Unaware of the Fairfolk's deceitful intentions, Luke requests that they instruct him in the Force to continue the training he had begun under Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Fairfolk consent, and as Luke grasps the hand of the Fairfolk leader, he is connected to Darth Vader, who intends to utilize the Fairfolk to guide Luke toward the dark side. Luke commences his training, but the Fairfolk display extreme hostility, frustrating Luke with their assertions that he is incapable of completing their demanding exercises. Luke reacts with the dark side of the Force, immediately demonstrating his power to the Fairfolk. Vader expresses satisfaction with Luke's advancement and appears to him in a vision, announcing that his true instruction is about to commence. The Fairfolk assert that Luke possesses the ability to defeat Vader, leading to a duel between the two. As Vader effortlessly knocks Luke to the ground, the Fairfolk encourage Luke to harness the dark side of the Force to triumph over Vader. Luke heeds their advice and begins to push the Dark Lord back with his unrestrained rage. However, just as it seems that Luke is on the verge of striking down the vision of Vader and succumbing entirely to the dark side, R2-D2 and Leia arrive to intervene, disrupting the potentially "fatal" blow. R2 shocks the Fairfolk, causing them to withdraw, while Leia attempts to comfort Luke as the vision of Vader dissipates. Luke, Leia, and R2 depart from the planet with the much-needed supplies, as Luke recounts how perilously close he came to embracing the dark side. Aboard the bridge of the Conqueror, Vader expresses disappointment at missing his opportunity to convert Skywalker but vows to seize the next chance without fail.
