ActionAdventureFantasySci-Fi124 min

With the Galactic Empire closing in after the Rebels’ early defeat on Hoth, Luke Skywalker leaves the fight to seek Jedi training from the reclusive Yoda on the swamp world of Dagobah. Mark Hamill is the young hero pushing deeper into the ways of the Force, while Harrison Ford’s Han Solo tries to keep Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2 ahead of Imperial pursuit. As Darth Vader tightens the trap, the story moves from icy battlefields to asteroid chases and the polished danger of Cloud City, widening the conflict between the Rebellion and the Empire.
