Luke and Compay rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt. The Empire is building a second Death Star, which must be destroyed. Han and Company will destroy the shield, while Lando and the Rebel fleet will destroy the unprotected Death star.
While trying to sneak in and destroy the shield, Han accidentally alerts some guards. To prevent the alarm from spreading, Luke and Leia chase after on speeder bikes. They suceed, but Leia crashes and is found by the native Ewoks. When only Luke returns, the company looks for Leia and is ensnared by an Ewok trap. C3PO is revered as a god, while the others are to be sacrificed in his honor. Leia arrives but can not save them. Luke uses the Force to make 3PO's threat convincing enough to cause the Ewoks to release the company.
Luke realizes he must face Vader, so he leaves the company. Han and company attempt to destroy the shield but are ambushed, because the whole shield vulnerability idea was just a ruse by the Emperor.
