The Empire strikes back

Luke Skywalker's adventures did not end with the destruction of the Death Star... Although the Rebel Alliance won an important battle, the war against the Empire had only just begun. Fearing revenge from the enemy, the Rebels built a hidden base on the ice planet Hoth, but even in that remote, insignificant place they could not hide for long from the searching gaze of Darth Vader. The dark lord's subjects were soon on their trail, so Han Solo, Princess Leia and their companions were forced to flee again, while Luke Skywalker visited the swamp world of Dagobah to learn from his new Jedi Master, Yoda... Star Wars was launched in 1976, and the subsequent films made it the most popular and influential work of science fiction, its success spanning decades and still unbroken today. The reader holds in his hands a re-edited edition of the original novel, more accurately adapted to today's language and the vast Star Wars universe that has since grown in size.
