The three eventually manage to escape with Han and destroy Jabba’s palace in the process. They learn that the Galactic Empire has almost completed a new death star, far worse than the first. They travel to Endor to demolish the shield that is protecting the death star so that they can destroy it.

At first the Ewoks think the newcomers are enemies but when they realise their plan they join with the rebels to destroy the Empire’s death star. Meanwhile Luke, now almost a full-fledged Jedi, has to confront his father to complete his mission.
