Quick recap

A few months after the Death Star, Luke, Han, Leia, Chewbacca and the droids raid an Imperial weapons factory on Cymoon 1. The plan falls apart when Darth Vader shows up in person, and Luke learns he's still a long way from being a Jedi. Shaken, he heads back to Tatooine and searches Obi-Wan's home for answers, not knowing Boba Fett has been hired to find the pilot who destroyed the station. Han and Leia, meanwhile, scout for a new Rebel base. The arc ends with a surprise for Han: a woman turns up claiming to be his wife.
