Plot summary[]
WhileLando Calrissian andChewbacca are on their way to rescueHan Solo, theMillennium Falcon encounters problems while inhyperspace which causes them to enter another dimension. They come upon a mysterious floating city, and soon discover that the city is the psychic creation of the long lostRebel heroCody Sunn-Childe. Sunn-Childe turned his back on his violent past years ago when he discovered this powerful mystical ability, and so created hisCity of Dreams to live with his friends in peace away from theGalactic Civil War. Calrissian rejects Sunn-Childe's views claiming that there are times that violence is necessary and he proceeds to repair theFalcon to leave Sunn-Childe's paradise. But before he can depart a fleet of ImperialStar Destroyer attack the city after finding an opening in the dimensional fabric. Under the command ofCaptainPlikk, they drain their power in their attack on the city, and though Sunn-Childe could easily demolish the fleet with his power, he decides to hold to his pacifist beliefs and allow himself and his city to be destroyed. Calrissian leaves the Imperial fleet stranded in the other dimension as punishment for destroying Sunn-Childe's dream.
Continuity[]
This story's writer,J.M. DeMatteis, originally hadLando Calrissian acceptCody Sunn-Childe's pacifist views, butLucasfilm overruled him and hadMarvel Comics change the ending so that Lando decried Sunn-Childe's views as wrong. The writer strongly disagreed with this change, and had his name taken off the project, choosing instead the pseudonym Wally Lombego.[2] The unedited version was published in issue #141 ofMarvel UK[5] Its later reprint in The Empire Strikes Back Annual #2 and Dark Horse collections is of the U.S. version.
