Arrêté après la trahison de Lando Calrissian, Han Solo est remis à l'ignoble contrebandier Jabba Le Hutt par le chasseur de primes Boba Fett. Après l'échec d'une première tentative d'évasion menée par la princesse Leia, également arrêtée par Jabba, Luke Skywalker et Lando parviennent à libérer leurs amis. Han, Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO et Luke, devenu un Jedi, s'envolent dès lors pour une mission d'extrême importance sur la lune forestière d'Endor, afin de détruire le générateur du bouclier de l’Étoile de la Mort et permettre une attaque des pilotes de l'Alliance rebelle. Conscient d'être un danger pour ses compagnons, Luke préfère se rendre aux mains de Dark Vador, son père et ancien Jedi passé du côté obscur de la Force.
