The despondent duo is hired to protect some farmers from a gang. On their way back to Yavin, Jack captures the <a href="/wiki/Millennium_Falcon" title="Millennium Falcon">Millennium Falcon</a>. He also holds Princess Leia captive; she was in the process of following Luke Skywalker to a water planet that he was scoping out as a possible Rebel base. Han and Leia lead Jack to Luke, who has crash-landed and learned that, since the time of the <a href="/wiki/Galactic_Republic" title="Galactic Republic">Galactic Republic</a>, the planet's denizens have been using jamming devices to bring down ships for salvage. Annoyed by the jamming frequencies, native sea serpents revolt and attack; the conflict escalates when the governor increases the frequency to bring down Jack's cruiser. The Falcon crew picks up Luke and destroys the jamming device. Jack attacks Han, but the smuggler defeats the pirate. The Falcon crew discovers the wreckage of a <a href="/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_Legends_characters#Tagge_family" title="List of Star Wars Legends characters">House of Tagge</a> ship, which the Empire has made to look like a Rebel attack. They take shelter on the Wheel, a neutral gambling station. Its administrator detains Leia, and Han and Chewie are forced to fight in gladiator battles. Luke, Leia, and the droids escape in a small craft; Darth Vader arrives and almost captures them, but Han disables his <a href="/wiki/Star_Destroyer" title="Star Destroyer">Star Destroyer</a>'s tractor beam. Luke and Leia return to the base on Yavin, where they thwart the attacks of the Tagge family. Jabba catches Han at one of his hideouts, but ship-eating mites force the crime lord to take refuge on the Falcon—in exchange for cancelling the smuggler's debt. After returning Jabba to Tatooine, Han and Chewie run into Luke in the <a href="/wiki/Mos_Eisley" title="Mos Eisley">Mos Eisley</a> cantina, where the latter was recruiting pilots. After witnessing a test of the Tagges' freezing superweapon, the rebels follow them in the Falcon. Luke fights Baron Orman Tagge in a <a href="/wiki/Lightsaber" title="Lightsaber">lightsaber</a> duel and destroys the superweapon. Orman is assumed dead, but actually kept alive by Vader. Domina Tagge, a member of a peaceful planet, comes to Yavin and asks Luke to serve as a Rebel representative. Acting as an Imperial representative, Vader blames Orman's apparent death on Luke, causing Domina to turn on him. She determines that the pair will duel for the planet's favor, but plans for both to die. Orman, whom Vader causes to take his appearance, attempts to kill Luke, but is himself slain. Meanwhile, Jabba discovers Crimson Jack's ruined cruiser and restores the bounty on Han. The Rebellion takes refuge on <a href="/wiki/Hoth" title="Hoth">Hoth</a>, but is driven out by the Empire. Obi-Wan Kenobi's <a href="/wiki/Force_spirit" class="mw-redirect" title="Force spirit">Force spirit</a> guides Luke to <a href="/wiki/Jedi_Master" class="mw-redirect" title="Jedi Master">Jedi Master</a> Yoda, who trains him. Meanwhile, Han is captured by Vader and frozen in <a href="/wiki/Carbonite_(Star_Wars)" class="mw-redirect" title="Carbonite (Star Wars)">carbonite</a> in a plot to bait Luke. Against the wishes of his teachers, Luke goes to help his friends by facing Vader, who has a stunning revelation for him.

While Vader continues to search for Luke, the latter investigates a Star Destroyer whose crew has been debilitated by the Crimson Forever, a virus emanating from a mysterious jewel; Luke is afflicted as well. Lando and Chewbacca encounter Leia at a temporary Rebel base on Golrath; she explains Luke's situation. This prompts Chewie to recount a recent adventure in which Han returned two similar jewels to a temple in the Red Nebula. Leia, Lando, and Chewbacca head to the nebula and discover a Tagge ship whose crew has also succumbed to the illness. Aboard, Domina Tagge reveals that she hired bounty hunters<a href="#cite_note-39">[e]</a> to steal the jewels from the temple, but the Empire took one and people began to succumb to the fever. Domina brings the other jewel to the derelict Star Destroyer, saving all the infected survivors. Leia leads a scouting expedition to determine if a forest planet will be suitable for a permanent Rebel base. The Rebellion's power is drained by intelligent <a href="/wiki/Hoojib" class="mw-redirect" title="Hoojib">hoojibs</a>, who reveal that a flying monster has prevented them from using their usual source of energy. The Rebels drive out the monster, and the hoojibs invite them to stay.

Meanwhile, Luke and a female pilot, Shira, leave to check on Lando as he has not reported in. Lando battles <a href="/wiki/Stormtrooper_(Star_Wars)" title="Stormtrooper (Star Wars)">stormtroopers</a>, and one of the bombs goes off. Lando calls a truce with an Imperial officer, who helps him fix Lobot. The <a href="/wiki/Cyborg" title="Cyborg">cyborg</a> then uses his cybernetic implants to disconnect the bombs. The officer kicks Lando off the platform, and Lobot uses a <a href="/wiki/Jet_pack" title="Jet pack">jet pack</a> to save him. On the planet surface, they are picked up by a boat of ugnaughts and transported back to the platform; Luke arrives and uses <a href="/wiki/The_Force" title="The Force">the Force</a> to make it appear that the rest of the bombs explode to scare away the Imperials. Leia leads a procedure to hide the Rebel fleet inside the system's sun using a shield generator, then departs for the planet's surface to investigate the arrival of Imperial ships. <a href="/wiki/R2-D2" title="R2-D2">R2-D2</a> detects a malfunction in the generators, and he and <a href="/wiki/C-3PO" title="C-3PO">C-3PO</a> find that the entire crew has been knocked unconscious by circuit fumes.

Meanwhile, Luke, Lando, and Chewbacca visit a space market to purchase four refurbished <a href="/wiki/TIE_fighter" title="TIE fighter">TIE fighters</a>. Shira and Luke use them to raid an Imperial armada, but Luke returns to the base to discover that he killed Shira. Luke infiltrates a data vault, where he finds evidence that Shira was selected by Vader to infiltrate the Rebellion and kill Luke; Vader keeps Shira alive in a <a href="/wiki/Bacta_(Star_Wars)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bacta (Star Wars)">bacta</a> tank on his Star Destroyer. Using the evidence from the Imperial vault, Luke is acquitted of Shira's murder. The Rebels discover that the rock material of their former base on Golrath records its surroundings. The Imperials soon make the same discovery, and Leia infiltrates the base to destroy it. The Rebels learn that one of Boba Fett's associates was cut out of the reward for Han and may be willing to provide intel. Leia follows a lead that <a href="/wiki/Dengar" class="mw-redirect" title="Dengar">Dengar</a> may be on <a href="/wiki/Mandalore" class="mw-redirect" title="Mandalore">Mandalore</a>, and discovers a caravan of Imperial slavers. She runs into a Mandalorian warrior named Fenn, who keeps Dengar in a cage. Dengar tricks Leia into freeing him in exchange for intel, but he signals Imperials, who bring her to the chief slaver. Fenn rescues Leia and recaptures Dengar. Meanwhile, Lando and Chewie obtain a lead on <a href="/wiki/Bossk_(Star_Wars)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bossk (Star Wars)">Bossk</a>'s location, which matches that of Luke's lead on <a href="/wiki/IG-88" class="mw-redirect" title="IG-88">IG-88</a>. Luke runs into some pirates he knows, while Lando says he found Han; it turns out to be one of the pirates frozen in a similar carbonite block. Bossk and IG-88 try to freeze Luke, Lando, and the other pirates, until Chewie arrives to help them. Amongst other missions, Luke and Leia rescue <a href="/wiki/Wedge_Antilles" title="Wedge Antilles">Wedge Antilles</a>, who had been <a href="/wiki/Missing_in_action" title="Missing in action">missing in action</a> since the Battle of Hoth.

The heroes liberate Han from Jabba, and work together to destroy the Death Star. Luke confronts Vader, who ends up overthrowing the <a href="/wiki/Palpatine" title="Palpatine">Emperor</a>. The Alliance then works to establish a new republic and subdue the remnants of the Empire and other sinister forces, expanding into intergalactic conflict. Domina Tagge and her bounty hunters resurface with a plan to capture the Crimson Forever jewels by encasing them in heavy metal, a delivery of which happens to include the robotic skeleton of Beilert Valance—who was defeated by Vader while protecting Luke's identity. The cyborg comes back to life and helps the Star Warriors foil Domina's selfish plot. The healing powers of the unified jewels restore Valance's human body even as he sacrifices himself to ensure the destruction of the temperamental gems. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Star_Wars_(1977_comic_book)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Legacy">edit</a>]</div> Introduced in 1978, the droid-hating cyborg Beilert Valance predates the explicit introduction of other bounty hunters in the Star Wars franchise.<a href="#cite_note-:3-40">[35]</a> Boba Fett's development has been argued to have been influenced by Valance and Marvel's <a href="/wiki/Punisher" title="Punisher">Punisher</a>, which Goodwin previously wrote for.<a href="#cite_note-41">[36]</a> Additionally, Valance has been noted as being very similar to <a href="/wiki/Terminator_(character)" title="Terminator (character)">the title character(s)</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Terminator_(franchise)" title="Terminator (franchise)">Terminator franchise</a>, which debuted with the 1984 film <a href="/wiki/The_Terminator" title="The Terminator">The Terminator</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:3-40">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-42">[37]</a> According to <a href="/wiki/Ryder_Windham" title="Ryder Windham">Ryder Windham</a>, the comic was not acknowledged by Lucasfilm while planning new stories because little story control had been enforced during its creation.<a href="#cite_note-43">[38]</a> Some elements appeared in the <a href="/wiki/Star_Wars_in_other_media" title="Star Wars in other media">Star Wars Expanded Universe</a>, such as the Wheel in a 2003 issue of <a href="/wiki/Star_Wars:_Republic" title="Star Wars: Republic">Star Wars: Republic</a><a href="#cite_note-44">[39]</a><a href="#cite_note-45">[40]</a> and the character Lumiya in the <a href="/wiki/Legacy_of_the_Force" title="Legacy of the Force">Legacy of the Force</a> book series (2006–2008).
