PRELUDE TO WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS: "RESTORATION" Returned to the fold after his rebellion against the EMPEROR, DARTH VADER faces the horrors of reconstruction in the secret laboratories of CORUSCANT. As he blacks out under the knife, does he still dream of revenge against his master? Or do his thoughts drift towards his son – and the friends who make LUKE SKYWALKER so vulnerable? Don't miss this next critical new chapter in Vader's ongoing evolution – featuring the revelation of the first time the Dark Lord learned the name HAN SOLO!
A brief flashback panel of Han Solo being tortured at Bespin shows the Scan Grid from equipped with several long sharp needles. Irvin Kershner, the director of the film, originally filmed more shots of Han being tortured, which showed the machine in operation with spikes and needles and electronic things going, and flashes of electricity everywhere. It was cut because the filmmakers were afraid that this would be too intense for children.
