Rogues, Rebels And Robots
En route to Alderaan in the Millennium Falcon, Ben begins Luke’s training in the ways of the Force, starting with basic lightsaber technique and awareness of the Force. Despite Han’s teasing, Luke practices until he’s able to fend off the attacks of a remote drone while blinded by the blast shield of a flight helmet. But this small victory is short lived as Ben senses something terrible, a cataclysmic disruption of the Force. When the Falcon comes out of hyperspace, Han finds he’s arrived not at Alderaan, but in a dense asteroid field – and despite the fact that the ship has arrived at the right coordinates, there’s no planet to be found. A lone Imperial TIE fighter appears, and Han gives chase – unaware that the pursuit will lead him into the jaws of the Death Star itself.

Urza Jaddo, an old friend of Londo arrives on the station to see if Londo’s influence can help him win a battle against opponents on Centauri Prime who are trying to blacklist Urza and his family. But when Londo finds out that the smear campaign has been led by his shady colleague Refa, the situation becomes muddier. In the meantime, Sheridan makes an ill-advised visit to a trouble-plagued area of the station which has been the site of numerous strange incidents since B5 went on-line. Following a terrifying encounter with a corpse that seems to come to life, Sheridan discovers that the price of his curiosity could be his sanity and his command.
As Arthur and Fenchurch grow closer, each also realizes that the other is somehow the only person who can understand what really happened to the Earth. Still puzzled by the disappearance of the dolphins, and the appearance of a glass fishbowl bearing the legend “So long and thanks for all the fish” – of which Fenchurch has an identical copy – Arthur decides to consult the only person who even claims to know where the dolphins went. This person, too, has such a fishbowl – and a unique outlook on the world.
