The rebels are based on Hoth, and when troops arrive to wipe them out, Han Solo and Princess Leia flee to Cloud City. Luke Skywalker, in a bid to strengthen his knowledge of the force, finds Yoda, one of the finest Jedi ever. Will they be able to get back together and halt the Empire's progress? ]]> http://www.harrisonfordweb.com/empirestrikesback/archives/2005/08/summary.html http://www.harrisonfordweb.com/empirestrikesback/archives/2005/08/summary.html Sat, 20 Aug 2005 17:43:48 -0500 Photos Photos

  • Having Han Solo frozen in carbonite was (at least in part) due to the fact that they were not sure that Harrison Ford would return for a third film. When the original Star Wars was made Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill were signed for a three picture deal, but Ford refused
