As the liberated Night
Beast sets off to rejoin its
ancient masters. Imperial
troops attack Rebel weapons
smugglers on the desert planet
Aridus. Word from Aridus leaks
back to the Rebels about the
intervention of someone appearing to
be Ben Kenobi, and Luke and
inadvertent stowaway C-3PO set off to
the desert planet. They arrive on Aridus in
the midst of an attack on an Imperial hover-
train by the native Chubbits, and Luke insists
on joining the battle. The day is saved by the
ersatz Ben Kenobi, who has become something
of a hero to the Chubbits. "Ben Kenobi" however
is revealed to us to be an actor working for Darth
Vader's insidious purposes ... it's Vader's intent to
use the actor to lure Luke to him. Luke still unaware
that he's not traveling with the real Ben Kenobi leaves
for a fateful meeting at the Iron Tower as Vader arrives on
Aridus.
