Plot summary
While the Griffin family watches television, the power fails, and Peter tells a second Star Wars story in place of the first. An Imperial Star Destroyer sends down probe droids, and one lands in the snow of Hoth, where the Rebel Alliance keeps a base. Luke Skywalker, out on patrol, is attacked by a large creature that drags him into its lair. Han Solo informs Princess Leia that he intends to leave the Rebellion, and the two argue. When Han learns that Luke has not come back, he rides out on his Dondon to search for him. Trapped in the creature's cave, Luke escapes and receives a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who tells him to seek out Yoda on the Dagobah system.
