Luke senses that Leia is in trouble, and has Lando reach out to Dash, but instead finds a message from Chewie saying that she’s been captured by Black Sun on Coruscant.  They travel to Coruscant where they are able to commandeer elite stormtrooper uniforms and stay undercover. They enter Spero’s shop and find Chewbacca waiting for them.  He explains Leia’s situation, but it is not long before they come under attack.  Dash comes to the rescue and they escape.

With Leia refusing his repeated requests for dinner, Xizor tells her he allowed Chewie to escape so he would bring Luke back to rescue her.  Guri enters and informs them that the Falcon has indeed been spotted.  He sends Guri off to kill them.  Through the Force, Leia hears Luke and knows he is on his way to save her.

Vader’s aide brings him information from recovered files that show how Xizor’s family was killed.  Things are now in perspective, and that Xizor is not a simple rival.  He hopes to avenge his own family’s death by killing Vader’s only son.  Vader contacts Xizor and tells him that he knows the real story and that he will be holding Xizor personally responsible for any attempts on Luke’s life.  Afterwards, Xizor is unfazed and vows to simply be more cautious in the future.

Luke and the others meet with a man named Vidkun who works in the tunnels beneath the city and can show them the way to Xizor’s palace.  After taking them to the edge of the Imperial facility, he refuses to go on.  When they say that’s not part of the deal he turns and opens fire on them, hitting Dash who in turn fires and kills him.  They are able to overcome several guards, but not before their intrusion has been communicated to more security.  When Guri reports the breach to Xizor, he is unconcerned believing that it is mere a communication disturbance.  Nevertheless, she sends reinforcements.

When the next wave of guards arrives, Threepio contacts Luke saying guards are approaching the Falcon.  He orders the droid and R2 to take the ship from the hanger and wait for him to contact them. 
Guri reports that another squad is missing, Xizor orders Leia be brought to him.  Leia senses her coming and is able to ambush her and lock her in the room instead.  The cell won’t hold her for long as she begins pounding through the doorway.

Threepio contacts Luke and tells him they are airborne and heading to the location they had previously decided upon.  Luke uses his lightsaber to cut through the next door, but they find only more attackers waiting for them chasing Leia! 

Guri gives Xizor the bad news and is even more upset to learn they have been disabling all the security cameras as they made their way through the facility.  He decides to head to one of the top layers to cut them off before they can escape.

As the Rebels reach level 20, Luke tells them they need to reach Level 50.  The Falcon will be meeting them on a landing pad there.  Xizor and Guri spot them and open fire.  Luke deflects the fire and they escape forcing Xizor to sound the general alarm.  When Leia tells them who just attacked them, Luke decides to turn back and take the fight to Xizor and Guri.  Lando takes a couple thermal detonators to help them be a little more persuasive.  Once they meet up with Xizor, he agrees to let them go, knowing he can continue the pursuit after they’ve left the building.  Lando takes his detonator and activates it and drops it down the trash shoot!

As they near their escape, Guri challenges Luke saying no mere man can compete with her, but perhaps a legendary Jedi will be able to.  Using the Force, Luke bests her and she asks for death, but he refuses.  He invites her to join the Rebellion and be reprogrammed, but she will not agree to do it.

Xizor makes it to the top level and his personal ship.  He escapes sad to know his palace will be destroyed, but knows one day he’ll be in the Emperor’s Palace instead.

Finally at the landing bay, the Falcon them up and they fly to safety before the palace crumbles to the ground.

Again Vader’s aide brings him information about Xizor’s treachery.  This time Vader readies his own ship for a visit.

As they enter orbit and prepare to make a jump, a squadron of Xizor’s ships intercept them.  The pilots report to Xizor that they have them surrounded.  When Rogue Squadron arrives, they are still outgunned, but the odds get a little better.  When several Imperial ties show up, the Rebels are surprised to see them destroying Xizor’s ships instead of theirs!

Vader contacts and incensed Xizor and tells him that he is breaking the law and that unless he stops his pursuit of Luke in two minutes Vader will be forced to take action.  Of course, Xizor refuses and when the countdown reaches zero Vader orders the ties to attack.
