Star Wars: Infinities - Return of the Jedi is a four-part story arc in the Star Wars Infinities series of comic books.
The Infinities version of Return of the Jedi begins when Leia, posing as a bounty hunter, infiltrates Jabba’s palace in an attempt to rescue Han Solo, who has been frozen in carbonite. Events begin to change when Jabba knocks 3PO off his dais and 3PO is not able to function. With no translator, Leia is forced to reveal her identity and threatens Jabba with a thermal detonator to release Solo.
During the melee, Leia and Chewbacca chase after Boba Fett, who escapes with Han Solo's carbonite-encased body. Leia fires on Fett but misses and hits the carbonite block’s life support control panel. Leia, Chewbacca and a disguised Lando escape from Jabba’s palace and reunite with Luke shortly before the thermal detonator goes off, killing everything within the palace. Luke promises Leia that he will find Han.
On Dagobah, Yoda, now on his deathbed, senses that Luke will not reach him before his death. On Tatoonie, Luke is able to get a lead on Boba Fett's whereabouts. Yoda then dies on Dagobah and Luke, along with the Emperor and Vader, all sense it. The Emperor sends Vader to Dagobah to investigate.
Luke then arrives on Dagobah and is greeted by Yoda's ghost. The ghost confirms Vader’s claim that he is Luke's father and reveals that Leia is Luke's sister. Realising that he has to confront Vader on his own, Luke has R2 record a message for Leia, send a message to the Rebellion and leaves Dagobah. Just then, a Star Destroyer drops out of hyperspace over Dagobah. Luke, captured by Vader, is brought to the second Death Star in orbit over Endor and is brought before the Emperor.
Meanwhile, Boba Fett is holding a meeting with Imperial officials, hoping to sell them Han’s carbonite block. Leia, Chewbacca and Lando track him down and interrupt the meeting. Leia then kills Fett with a blaster. Leia and the others return to the Rebel fleet with Han's frozen body. After thawing out Han from the carbontie, Leia is informed by a medic that the damage to the life support control unit resulted in Han becoming completly blind. Lando then prepares the Falcon for an assault on the second Death Star that is scheduled to commence when the station’s energy shield is destroyed by a Rebel unit on Endor's moon.
Before the fleet leaves for Endor, Leia receives Luke's message from R2, which reveals that they are twins and that Vader is their father. A second transmission reveals Luke's subsequent capture and that no rescue attempt is to be made. Leia takes the Slave-1, commandeered after Fett's death and heads straight to the Death Star to rescue Luke. Han realises what has happened and asks Lando if he can accompany him and Chewbacca on the Falcon.
Leia arrives at the Death Star, but is soon captured and brought before the Emperor. Meanwhile, the Rebel fleet outside the Death Star engages the Imperial fleet while waiting for the ground assault team to destroy the shield generator. However, the battle between the Rebel and Imperial units on Endor disturbs the Ewoks, causing them to attack both sides.
On the Death Star, Palpatine orders Vader to kill Leia. Luke unleashes his lightsaber and duels with Vader himself. Leia attempts to intervene, but is subdued by Force Lightning from the Emperor, allowing Luke and Vader's duel to continue.
Han, despite his blindness, takes Chewbacca's place in the Falcon’s gunner turret after Chewbacca is injured. The Falcon flies down to Endor and destroys the shield generator, allowing the Rebel fleet in space to enter the half-completed Death Star. Lando takes the Falcon back to the Death Star to rescue Luke and Leia.
Luke continues to duel Vader, revealing to him that both he and Leia are his children. Vader is stunned by the revelation, but strikes down Luke at the cost of one of his arms. However, Vader is unable to kill his own children and surrenders, causing him to turn from the Dark Side of the Force.
During the duel, the Emperor escapes and Luke and Leia carry the wounded Vader to the Falcon waiting in the docking bay and escape before the Death Star explodes. Sometime later, on the Rebel flagship, Mon Mothma informs Luke that the Emperor is alive and still a threat. Anakin, now clad in a white variation of the suit he wore as Vader, agrees to help the Rebels track down Palpatine.
