1980
The Galactic Empire pursues the Rebel Alliance to their hidden base on the ice planet Hoth, forcing the Rebels to evacuate. Luke Skywalker, guided by a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi, travels to Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda, while Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and the droids escape in the Millennium Falcon. Darth Vader hires bounty hunters to track the Falcon, leading them to Cloud City, where Han's old friend Lando Calrissian betrays them to the Empire. Han is tortured and then frozen in carbonite by Vader, who intends to test the process before using it on Luke, and is subsequently taken by the bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Luke Skywalker, Darth VaderThere is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. You do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
The sooner the better. Something's wrong here. No one has seen or knows anything about Threepio. He's been gone too long to have gotten lost.
Right. I'll see you shortly. There's a meteorite that hit the ground near here. I want to check it out. It won't take long.
Yes, Lord Vader. I've reached the main power generator. The shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing.
How are you feeling, kid? You don't look so bad to me. In fact, you look strong enough to pull the ears off a Gundark.
Artoo, you take good care of Master Luke now, understand? And... do take good care of yourself. Oh, dear, oh, dear.
There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser. The sensors are placed, I'm going back.
No, Captain, they're alive. I want every ship available to sweep the asteroid field until they are found.
