A brand new Imperial threat was discovered and the good guys have to do something. However, Jedi-in-training Luke finds that instant fame as a"Death-Star-Blower-Upper" could be quite a double-edged lightsaber, as his secret assignment to Naboo is due to people most unstoppable of foes -- crazed fans! (It's hard being the galaxy's New Hope.) Darth Vader sees his day move from bad to worse if his relationship with all the Emperor is imperiled by the unexpected coming of Darth Maul. Luke and Vader's quests to prove themselves lead them on a collision course together (literally) and their fate.
