The Empire Strikes Back only offers a glimpse into Luke Skywalker's Jedi training under the guidance of Yoda. This narrative reveals a previously unseen segment of his training, tasking Luke with locating and recovering an item protected by the swamp world Dagobah's most dangerous inhabitants: the monstrous dragonsnakes! This marks Luke's most treacherous, perilous, and mud-filled assignment to date!
Luke Skywalker is undergoing Jedi Knight training on the swampy world of Dagobah, guided by the powerful, albeit eccentric, Jedi Master Yoda. Despite his unconventional teaching methods, Yoda stands as Luke's sole preparation for his ultimate destiny: rescuing the galaxy from the clutches of Darth Vader and the Emperor!
Luke's current objective involves finding and retrieving an object guarded by one of the swamp's deadliest creatures, the formidable dragonsnake! The hero in training will encounter more than just monstrous swamp creatures, and will need more than just himself to succeed in his mission. Fortunately, the Force is with him!
Under the tutelage of Master Yoda, Luke Skywalker undergoes Jedi training on the planet Dagobah. Yoda imparts the ways of the Force to him, subsequently dispatching Luke on a quest to vanquish the King of the Dragonsnakes and claim its treasure. After weakening the massive dragonsnake, Luke pursues it into the Lair of the King of the Dragonsnakes, where it meets its demise, and Luke delivers the Accipiptero egg to Master Yoda.
