Lara, having been inducted as an honorary Jedi, finds herself on the planet Tatooine run by the Hutts. Not only is this desert planet home to some very seedy intergalactic travellers, but it is also infested with forces from the Dark Side. The Sith Lord, accompanied by his apprentice, Darth Maul recognises this planet as a strategic stronghold and wishes to take control of it. This planet has always attracted its fair share of rebellious characters with its famous pod racing events, so Lara will not be out of place here. Although the ways of Jabba the Hutt are not exactly Lara's 'cup o'tea', she detests the motives of the Dark Lords with a passion, and in her own inimitable fashion will fight to suppress the evil forces of the Dark Side in their takeover bid, in order to let the inhabitants of Tatooine retain their freedom.
