Luke Skywalker encounters Darth Vader on Endor before confronting the Emperor for the first time as the Rebel fleet prepares to attack the Death Star.
It is time for Luke Skywalker to face his last test in his journey to becoming a Jedi: he must confront Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. On Endor, the young Jedi faces Darth Vader for the first time since Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back. Unfortunately, Luke cannot convince his father not to hand him over to the Emperor. So, they head to the Death Star for the fateful confrontation. Meanwhile, Han, Leia, and the Ewoks prepare for their assault on the shield generator while the Rebel fleet prepares for their attack on the Death Star.
