Prologue: Ultimate Plans
The Galactic Civil War was about to come to an end, and this was a time of plans coming together. For the Gallifreyan Jedi Master known as the Doctor, it meant the imminent rescue of his friend, Han Solo, who had been imprisoned in carbonite for a year, held in the palace of Jabba Desilijic Tiure on Tatooine. After a year of waiting for a signal, Han's old friend, Lando Calrissian, and his Wookiee first mate, Chewbacca, had finally contacted the Rebellion, telling him that their plan was ready.
After Lando and Chewbacca had contacted the Rebellion, a small team, consisting of the Doctor, Luke, Leia Organa, Luke's unwitting twin sister, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke's mentor and friend, Jennara Oswin, the Doctor's former student and object of his great affection, though he did not like to admit it, and Alliance droids C-3PO and R2-D2, was sent to Tatooine to retrieve Han from Jabba's clutches. Chewbacca met the team when they landed, and it was decided that they would simply leave the decrepit freighter they were using and escape on the Millenium Falcon, which Chewbacca had completely repaired by himself, having had nothing else to do for the past year.
And while the Rebels were planning the rescue of their good friend, Han, the evil Darth Sidious and his apprentice and right-hand man, Darth Vader, were planning the Rebellion's ultimate destruction. After the destruction of the Death Star four years previously, Sidious and Vader began secret construction on a second Death Star that, when completed, would be even more powerful than the first Death Star. As it was right now, the Second Death Star was still incomplete. The Rebels had found out about the construction only days before the Doctor and his team left for Tatooine, and they were currently planning to destroy it before it could spell certain doom for the Rebels and their cause.
Meanwhile, the Force's ultimate plan for the destiny of the Jedi was coming to a head as well. The Doctor could sense that it was almost time for Luke Skywalker to face his ultimate test: the destruction of the Sith.
This is the story of the Doctor during the long-awaited realization of the ultimate plans, the final chapters of the Galactic Civil War, and the return of the Jedi.
