After Han Solo | Han Solo(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | , Leia Organa | Leia Organa Solo(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | and Chewbacca | Chewbacca(Wookiee)CharacterMajor Characters | have been captured on Cloud City | Cloud CityStarshipPlanetary Superstructures | , Solo was frozen in carbonite and Vader decided to further change the deal with Lando | Lando Calrissian(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | , Calrissian arranged for the Bespin Wing Guard | Cloud City Wing GuardOrganizationPlanetary and Sector | to ambush the Imperial team escorting himself, Organa, Chewbacca, and C-3PO | C-3PO(3PO-series Protocol Droid)CharacterDroids | (still strapped to the Wookiee's back) to Vader's ship. Chewbacca and Organa, however, did not trust him due to his prior betrayal, with Chewbacca nearly strangling him until he revealed that there was still a chance to save Solo from Fett | Boba Fett(Human (Clone))CharacterMajor Characters | . Deciding it was worth the risk, the foursome rushed to intercept Fett, reaching his landing platform just in time to see the Slave I | Slave I(Firespray-class Patrol Ship)StarshipNamed Starships | take off.Realizing that - for now, at least - Solo was gone, they redirected their efforts into escaping. After reaching the Falcon | Millennium Falcon(YT-1300 Light Freighter)StarshipNamed Starships | 's hangar door, they discovered that the access codes had been changed, preventing Calrissian from unlocking the doors. C-3PO then realized that R2-D2 | R2-D2(R2-series Astromech Droid)CharacterDroids | could override the security systems, but accidentally directed the astromech into plugging into a power socket. Before leading the group to another door with a computer terminal, Calrissian informed the citizens of Cloud City of the Imperial occupation, and advised them to leave as soon as possible. The ensuing chaos worked to their advantage, helping them get to another door mostly unhindered by Imperial forces, though they encountered several stormtroopers | Imperial StormtrooperOrganizationGalactic Empire Military | upon reaching another door. After R2-D2 plugged in, he learned from the city's central computer that the Falcon's hyperdrive had been deactivated after its repairs. However, when he tried to inform the group about this, C-3PO interrupted him, saying that the hyperdrive had been fixed, and telling him to open the door. After Artoo did so, and covered their retreat with a smokescreen, the group boarded the Falcon and took off, barely escaping the Imperial troops.Skywalker | Luke Skywalker(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | , having just been defeated | Duel on Cloud CityEventGalactic Civil War | by Vader in a lightsaber duel, was clinging for his life at a vane on the bottom of Cloud City. First calling to Ben Kenobi | Obi-Wan Kenobi(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | for help and receiving no response, he called to someone else - Leia. Organa, on board the Millennium Falcon on her way out of the city, heard Skywalker's plea and ordered the ship around. Finding Skywalker dangling from the vane, they pulled up beneath it, and Calrissian pulled the young Jedi to safety. As the Falcon's hatch closed, three TIE fighters | TIE FighterStarshipStarfighter Models | showed up and pursued the rebels into space while firing at the freighter. Having left the planet's gravity well, the Falcon, upon sighting the Executor | Executor(Super-class Star Destroyer)StarshipNamed Starships | , attempted to jump to hyperspace, only to find the "repaired" hyperdrive nonfunctional. As the crew desperately attempted to fix the hyperdrive while R2-D2 was reassembling C-3PO, the astromech realized what the problem was, having been told earlier by Cloud City's central computer, and managed to reactivate the drive, allowing the rebels to escape into hyperspace.Read more... |
