The Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars: Infinities)

The Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars: Infinities) by Vecchia, Christian Dalla. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781569719046.

Take the events and characters from one of the classic Star Wars films, throw in one happenstance, mishap, or technical glitch beyond the characters control, and watch how that changes everything. In Dark Horses first foray into Infinities (A New Hope), Luke Skywalkers valiant torpedo attack on the Death Star failed due to a faulty detonator — an event no one could have foreseen — and the Rebellion was dealt a debilitating setback. In Infinities — The Empire Strikes Back, Han Solos desperate attempt to locate his friend Luke in the icy wastes of the planet Hoth is thwarted when the tauntaun hes riding succumbs to the cold while Han is still a mile from Lukes location. Han arrives too late, barely in time to hear Lukes dying words about Jedi training and the planet Dagobah... Thus begins an adventure far different than the one seen in the motion picture. Along the way, a famous bounty hunter is frozen in carbonite, Han and Chewie are captured on Tatooine by Jabba the Hutt, and Princess Leia and Yoda have a fateful jungle showdown with Darth Vader! Collecting the four-issue miniseries.
