STORYLINE – Confrontation on the Smugglers’ Moon

Han and Leia are greeted by Boba Fett, Dengar and Han’s old friend Mako (who seems to have changed sides). Boba tells Han that he has waited a long time to kill him. Han and Leia blast their way out of the backdoor, and flee through the streets. Quickly they come to a dead-end, an abandoned spaceport of Nar Shadda. Han and Leia counter the bounty hunters’ attack. Suddenly, a stray shot hits the passing floater of a hutt. The hutt falls off, and Han and Leia take this chance to get on the floater. They manage to evade the bounty hunters and fly upwards to find Salla Zend’s ship and the Millennium Falcon attached to it.

Han thanks Salla for the rescue, but it is short lived, because it seems that Boba Fett has already given chase in his Slave II spaceship. In the meantime, Leia opens the box given to her by Vima da boda. She finds an ancient but working lightsaber inside. As she activates the lightsaber, her force awareness is amplified temporarily. She visualizes Luke, now turned to the dark side, and in command of a fleet of Imperial starships. Leia tells Han that they must hurry.
