So, Luke Skywalker steps down on Yavin IV to begin his search for Boba Fett when he gets a call from his sister, Princess Leia. She has news to tel him regarding the empire. It turns out that someone very important is coming after the Skywalkers and the Hutts. It is somehow related to the Kessel spice they are dealing. Leia informs Luke that Dengar was confronted by this high-ranking individual. Dengar tried to use Force Lightning but it was rebounded back to him and knocked Gengar out of commission. With Gengar down, a bunch of people took this time to kill in act of revenge for all the wrongs he had committed against the citizens of Mos Eisly.
Luke was shocked. Gengar, who the skywalkers gave the code name of Crimm, was a member of the Empire they had bribed to keep from interfering with the Spice trade business they were involved. With the death of Wandering, Crimm was next in line to be godfather of Mos Eisly. Crimm's power of Force Lightning also came in handy when warding off threats to the family business. Now, someone even more menacing was taking control of the empire and their identity remained a mystery.
Luke wondered if this new Emperor was working for the Hutts and that's why Dengar was killed. He had to find Boba Fett fast to question him. But where? Then, Luke noticed that things seemed to be getting darker around him. He looked up in the sky and saw an eclipse was occuring. But this was no ordinary eclipse. A giant globe of metal was moving acroos the sky and blocking the sun. Luke stared in amazement for a few moments before a creeping sense of dread and fear caused him to hightail it to his specially modified X-Wing and get safely away.
Back on Tatooine, Jabba sends his new Bounty Hunter a contract. The victim is to be Mara Jade known as Golden Phoenix throughout the galaxy due to her ability to escape from certain death time and again. It is to be one final test to make sure the Bounty Hunter is all he is cracked up to be. Tracking Mara Jade to a local cantina, The Bounty Hunter watched as Mara Jade silently stalked a victim of hers. After some time of watching and tracking the victim, Mara walked by the man and with a slight movement of her wrist, lit the hidden lightsaber she was carrying, stabbed the man through the heart and then quickly disegaged the lightsaber, all with in a second. It was a few moments before the man slumped to the floor dead and by that time, Mara had long walked out the door.
Outside the cantina, Mara made her way along some back alleys when she suddenyl found herself being flipped upside down and flying into the air. A rope was caught around her leg and lifting her skywords. She had waken into a trap. Still, a quick cut by her lightsaber and she would be free. But, as she watched the ground grow further distant, she saw her lightsaber lying there on the ground. The sudden jolt must have caused it to fall off of her. Then, the rope stopped pulling and she was left hanging in the air as a man walked out of an alley way with a gun pointed at her. It was The Bounty Hunter and he had set this trap to kill the Golden Phoenix. Fool, thought Mara, he doesn't know about my force powers. And with that, Mara reached out with the force and pulled the lightsaber from the ground to her hand. She caught it and pressed the button to ignite the lightsaber. It exploded and killed her. The bounty hunter cut the rope holding Mara and let her charred body fall to the ground. Then he took Mara's real lightsaber still attached to her belt. Fool, he thought. People never think when they are in a panic. They always just react. That allows them to fall prey to all kinds of deception. And he is the greatest master of deception out there.
The Bounty Hunter brought the remains of Mara before a jubulant Jabba the Hutt. Not only had The Bounty Hunter killed Luke Skywalkers wife but Mara Jade also had the power of Force Rebound and her death would hurt the Skywalkers greatly. Sending The Bounty Hunter away with his payment, Jabba began to plot his next move. There was no doubt this war had just escalated greatly. Now, he had to make sure it kept escalating in his favor.
Back at Yavin IV, while flying away in his X-Wing, Luke discovered Boba Fett's ship trail. It led towards the giant metal globe. Luke debated whether to turn around or keep going. But, as he pondered this decision, he began to think of the lightsaber he was carrying in his vest. He clenched the lightsaber tight in his hand as he flew toward the metal globe.
