Here is the third post, which continues the 'main' sequence -
....Luke prepares to escape from the Hoth Planet, as R2D2 agitates for him to leave immediately....
....however, the remaining Stardestroyer Fleet will still be a threat....and one ship in particular awaits the return of Vader....
....fortunately, the Rebel's 'Ion Cannon' has previously managed to create an escape route in this particular 'Sector'....
....enabling Luke to get away too, and set a new course for the 'Dagobah system', to search for Yoda....just as he was advised to do by Obi-Wan, after his earlier encounter with the 'Wampa'(s?). Unfortunately, Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and C3PO have not been so lucky....
....as they have encountered a few of the other Stardestroyers deployed in the vicinity, when they tried to escape from the Hoth Planet in a different direction....
....however, the Millennium Falcon's 'Hyperdrive' has failed....so Han evades capture by entering a huge asteroid field, which destroys his TIE pursuers....before he flies into an opening in a very large asteroid for temporary safety from the Stardestroyers following.... In the meantime, Luke has crash-landed on 'Dagobah', where Artoo has a bad experience with a local swamp creature.... Meanwhile, Vader is now back onboard the 'Executor'. Admiral Piett approaches his 'chamber' to notify him that some of their other ships have sighted the Millennium Falcon, but that it has entered an asteroid field, and it would be dangerous to follow. Vader emphasises to Admirial Piett that he wants the ship captured, no matter what....
....in the meantime, Luke and Artoo have encountered a friendly inhabitant on 'Dagobah', while Han and Chewbacca continue repairing the Falcon's 'Hyperdrive' inside the safety of the asteroid cave.... Meanwhile, the 'Executor' in now relentlessly following through the asteroid field, where the Falcon was last sighted, as some of the accompanying Fleet sustains heavy damage.... A 'holographic' Stardestroyer Commander suggests that the Falcon must have been destroyed by now, but Vader notifies him that the occupants are still 'alive', and orders that he wants every ship available to sweep the asteroid field until they are found....
....just afterwards, Admiral Piett alerts Vader that the Emperor is commanding that he makes contact with him. Vader orders him to move the 'Executor' out of the huge asteroid field, so that a clear 'transmission' signal can be made....
....it turns out that the Emperor is aware of how potentially dangerous Luke Skywalker is, and wants Vader to deal with him. Vader (who has ulterior motives now, and who plans to meet Luke personally) suggests that rather than have him 'dealt with', that perhaps Luke can become an ally of the 'Empire' instead....which the Emperor goes along with.... In the meantime, Luke and the friendly inhabitant are now in Yoda's home, where Luke discovers that his host is the 'Jedi master' he has been looking for.... Meanwhile, the remaining Stardestroyers continue to clear a path through the asteroid field, as Vader ordered, as they continue their search for the Millennium Falcon, and it's occupants....
....even TIE 'bombers' can't bring them out into the open, as the crew continue repairs inside the deep bowels of the very large asteroid...until they discover they've flown inside the belly of a gigantic 'space slug', and have to make a hasty escape back into the middle of the dangerous asteroid field.... In the meantime, Yoda has begun instructing Luke, who has a glimspe of things to come where Vader is concerned, inside a mysterious underground cavern.... Meanwhile, the 'Executor' relentlessly continues onwards, just outside the huge asteroid field....
....several 'Bounty Hunters' that were invited by Vader, are now aboard the 'Executor', and are instructed by Vader to capture the occupants of the Millennium Falcon 'alive'.... At this point, an unimpressed Admiral Piett is notified of a priority signal from the Stardestroyer 'Avenger', and is finally able to inform Vader that the Millenium Falcon has now been located by one of the Fleet.... Meanwhile, the Stardestroyer 'Avenger' continues after the Falcon, and is almost upon it....
....fortunately, the Millennium Falcon comes out of the huge asteroid field at this point....but unfortunately, the 'Hyperdrive' fails again, as there wasn't enough time to fix it properly, due to the hasty exit from the asteroid cave.... After a direct hit on the main rear deflector shields, Han decides to divert all power to the Falcon's front shields, and turns around to face his pursuer....
....this unexpected 'attack position' move by the Millennium Falcon now forces Captain Needa to order the Stardestroyer 'Avenger's' own shields be put up, just before the Falcon swoops closely overhead....
....when Captain Needa demands that the Millennium Falcon be 'tracked', he is informed that it no longer appears on the Stardestroyer's scopes, and that there is no trace of them now.... Unluckily for him, he is also informed that Vader is demanding an update on his pursuit of the Falcon.... Meanwhile, Luke's training under Yoda continues apace, culminating in him revealing the potential power of the 'Force' to a disbelieving Luke, when he salvages his sunken X-Wing spacecraft for him.... The Fleet has now regrouped nearby the vicinity of the Stardestroyer 'Avenger', as Captain Needa shuttles down to the 'Executor' to apologise personally to Vader for losing the Millennium Falcon....
