BrickWars Sets Description

Lego Star Wars 10123 Cloud City was an outpost and tibanna gas mining colony stationed on the planet of Bespin. It was named Cloud City because the city itself floated high above the actual planet and was surrounded by clouds, as the planet was an uninhabitable gas giant, save for the oxygen-rich layer where the city lay. It was well-known for its luxury resort district that contained hotels and casinos. The floors, from top to bottom, were the concourse, which constisted of hotels and casinos, the housing areas, administrative offices, Port Town, the housing facilities of workers, factories, gas refineries and miners quarters, and finally, the repulsor lift engines and tractor beam generators that kept the city afloat and in position. The entire structure was saucer-shaped. In "Episode V: The Empire Stirkes Back," Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia travel to Cloud City hoping that Han's old friend, Lando Calrissian, would help them repair the Millennium Falcon. However, Lando and his city were threatened by the Empire, and the next day Han and company were betrayed and handed over to Darth Vader. After Han is frozen in carbonite, Luke senses the disturbance through the Force and goes to rescue him. When arriving on the city, he spots Boba Fett taking his frozen friend to his ship and decides to follow, but is discovered. Boba opens fire and Luke barely escapes, running farther into the city. He then sees Leia and Chewbacca being escorted by stormtroopers and attempts to save them, only to be pushed back into the carbon freezing chamber, where Darth Vader waited. The two fought an intense lightsaber duel, until Luke was eventually overpowered and thrown through a window onto an emergancy platform. There, Vader cuts off his right hand along with his lightsaber, leaving Luke defenseless. It is there where the famous, and most memorable, lines of the Star Wars saga are spoken:

"Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father."—Darth Vader

"He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"—Luke Skywalker

"No. I am your father."—Darth Vader

Luke screams in denial, while his father goads him into joining him, into joining the dark side and overthrowing the Emperor. Luke chooses to commit suicide rather than becoming corrupted, and throws himself down the shaft. Meanwhile, Lando, Leia, and Chewbacca have escaped from the stormtroopers with the help of the Bespin security, and they all escape in the Millennium Falcon. While falling, Luke is sucked into an air vent, exits the underbelly of the city and catches and antenna. Hanging onto his life, he calls out through the Force, first to Ben Kenobi, and then to Leia. She mysteriously hears his call, and the Falcon turns around, heading back towards the city. They retrieve Luke, and escape with TIE fighters hot on their trail.
