Quick recap

The Rebellion is still looking for shelter, and everyone splits up. Luke heads to Nar Shaddaa, the smugglers' moon, chasing leads on the Jedi, gets his lightsaber stolen and ends up in the gladiator arena of a Hutt who collects Jedi relics. Han and Leia deal with Sana Starros, the woman who claims to be Han's wife. One issue jumps back in time to show Ben Kenobi watching young Luke on Tatooine. The arc ends with the group back together and fleeing the moon, with Luke more aware of how much he still has to learn.
