The struggle for the Galaxy intensifies in the fifth episode of the space saga. The Emperor's troops launch a massive attack on the rebels and their allies. Han Solo and Princess Leia take refuge in the Sky City, where they are captured by Darth Vader, while Luke Skywalker is on the mysterious jungle planet of Dagobah. There, Jedi Master Yoda trains the young knight in the skills of gaining the Force. Luke does not even imagine how soon he will have to use the knowledge of the old Master: there is a battle ahead with the superior forces of the Emperor and a mortal duel with Darth Vader.
