Four years after the events in Return of the Jedi, Princess Leia has been offered a new homeworld for the Alderaanian refugees if only she will marry Isolder, a handsome, charming prince. Han Solo makes a desperate last gamble to win Leia back by tricking her into accompanying him to the beautiful and untamed planet Dathomir, where he hopes to win her heart. Fearing the imperious queen’s reaction to Han’s rash move, Luke Skywalker forms an unlikely alliance with Prince Isolder to track down the runaways, little suspecting that it is only the beginning of an adventure that will lead to the discovery of an awesome treasure, a group of Force-trained “witches”…and a showdown with an invincible foe. |
