The second in the original Star Wars trilogy; the film continues where Star Wars left off. The rebels have destroyed the Death Star, and are hiding out on the planet Hoth.

Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) finds himself being tutored by a tiny, yet powerful old Jedi Master Yoda, in a bid to strengthen his knowledge of the force. Will our three rebels ever manage to get back together and halt the evil Empires progress?
