It is a period of Civil War.
6
Rebel Spaceships, striking
7
from a hidden base, have won
8
their first victory against
9
the evil Galactic Empire.
11
During the battle, Rebel
12
spies managed to steal secret
14
ultimate weapon, the DEATH
15
STAR, an armored space
16
station with enough power to
17
destroy an entire planet.
19
Pursued by the Empire's
20
sinister agents, Princess
21
Leia races home aboard her
22
starship, custodian of the
23
stolen plans that can save
24
her people and restore
25
freedom to the galaxy...
56
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
58
It is a dark time for the
59
Rebellion. Although the Death
60
Star has been destroyed,
61
Imperial troops have driven the
62
Rebel forces from their hidden
63
base and pursued them across
66
Evading the dreaded Imperial
67
Starfleet, a group of freedom
68
fighters led by Luke Skywalker
69
has established a new secret
70
base on the remote ice world
73
The evil lord Darth Vader,
74
obsessed with finding young
75
Skywalker, has dispatched
76
thousands of remote probes into
77
the far reaches of space....
110
Luke Skywalker has returned to
111
his home planet of Tatooine in
112
an attempt to rescue his
113
friend Han Solo from the
114
clutches of the vile gangster
117
Little does Luke know that the
118
GALACTIC EMPIRE has secretly
119
begun construction on a new
120
armored space station even
121
more powerful than the first
124
When completed, this ultimate
125
weapon will spell certain doom
126
for the small band of rebels
127
struggling to restore freedom
161
Turmoil has engulfed the
162
Galactic Republic. The taxation
163
of trade routes to outlying star
164
systems is in dispute.
166
Hoping to resolve the matter
167
with a blockade of deadly
168
battleships, the greedy Trade
169
Federation has stopped all
170
shipping to the small planet
173
While the Congress of the
174
Republic endlessly debates
175
this alarming chain of events,
176
the Supreme Chancellor has
177
secretly dispatched two Jedi
178
Knights, the guardians of
179
peace and justice in the
180
galaxy to settle the conflict...
213
There is unrest in the Galactic
214
Senate. Several thousand solar
215
systems have declared their
216
intentions to leave the Republic.
218
This separatist movement,
219
under the leadership of the
220
mysterious Count Dooku, has
221
made it difficult for the limited
222
number of Jedi Knights to
223
maintain peace and order in the
226
Senator Amidala, the former
227
Queen of Naboo, is returning
228
to the Galactic Senate to vote
229
on the critical issue of creating
230
an ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
231
to assist the overwhelmed
265
War! The Republic is crumbling
266
under attacks by the ruthless
267
Sith Lord, Count Dooku.
268
There are heroes on both sides.
271
In a stunning move, the
272
fiendish droid leader, General
273
Grievous, has swept into the
274
Republic capital and kidnapped
275
Chancellor Palpatine, leader of
278
As the Separatist Droid Army
279
attempts to flee th besieged
280
capital with their valuable
281
hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a
282
desperate mission to rescue the
283
captive Chancellor....
