We break down the FINAL issue of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Marvel comics adaptation – BETRAYAL AT BESPIN! This comic includes the confrontation between Luke and Darth Vader, and Darth Vader’s terrifying familial declaration. Meanwhile, Leia, Chewie, C-3P0, R2-D2 and Lando make their escape from Bespin. Richard and Sarah share their thoughts and find fun Easter eggs throughout. What a rousing finale to The Empire Strikes Back series of comics!
