Summary:

Princess Leia tries to foil Boba Fett’s plan to deliver the carbonite-encased Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt. Darth Vader searches for Luke Skywalker, while another sinister figure, Xizor, emerges. He is a cunning and ruthless leader of a powerful underworld crime syndicate who hopes to displace Vader as the Emperor’s right hand. In the meantime Xizor will join Vader in an unholy alliance seeking a common target. The struggle intensifies as Luke finds himself the potential prize of the two most evil entities in the galaxy, one who wants him alive, and one who wants him dead.

Opinion:

I think the story is good; it gives the Star War fans some info on what happens between the movies. You see more fighting and that’s always good.

Rating:

 **** and half stars
