Quick recap

After Hoth and Bespin, the Rebel fleet is scattered and out of contact. Boba Fett has taken Han away frozen, and Luke tries to move on knowing Vader is his father, minus a hand and his lightsaber. Leia, Lando, Chewbacca and the droids try to pull the Alliance back together, while Luke decides to return to Cloud City for his lost saber. Along the way they walk into a trap set by Commander Zahra, an Imperial officer with a score to settle with the Rebellion. The arc ends with the rebels breaking out and finding a way to call the fleet back together.
