You are formally invited to witness the marriage of Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo.
The dreaded Death Star has been obliterated. Darth Vader meets his end. The Galactic Empire is in ruins. Yet, on the forest moon of Endor, amidst the turmoil of a galaxy undergoing transformation, time seems to pause for a princess and the charming rogue she loves.
Having survived being encased in carbonite and then risking everything for the sake of the Rebellion, Han yearns to cease living his life at the behest of others. He and Leia have more than earned their chance at a shared future. When he asks for Leia's hand in marriage, it's the first time in what feels like forever that he has a positive feeling about what's to come. For Leia, a life dedicated to fighting feels far from over. There remains work to be done, a debt to be paid for the dark truth she now knows courses through her veins. Her brother, Luke, offers her that opportunity–one that comes with family and the promise of the Force. But when Han proposes marriage, Leia's answer is immediate…Yes.
However, their happily ever after is not easily attained. Immediately following their idyllic wedding ceremony on Endor, Han and Leia find themselves thrust onto the most extravagant and public stage imaginable: the Halcyon, a luxurious vessel embarking on a highly publicized voyage to the galaxy's most spectacular destinations. Their union, and the peace and prosperity it symbolizes, acts as a beacon for all in the galaxy – including Imperial holdouts still grasping for power.
In their most desperate moment, the remnants of the Empire have scattered to the far reaches of the galaxy, regrouping on isolated planets susceptible to their influence. As the Halcyon journeys from one world to another, a stark reality emerges: The war is far from over. But as danger looms ever closer, Han and Leia discover that they are strongest when they fight together, as husband and wife.
