The two versions had different covers: one using Brian Stelfreeze’s Princess Leia art from the Star Wars Galaxy trading card set, and the other by Dave Dorman.

Story/Spoilers
Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Luke and Leia travel toward the Rebel base in the Akuria system to insure against a sudden Imperial counterattack on Yavin 4. En route to the planet, a mistake by R2-D2, who appears to not have been properly repaired after the Battle of Yavin, causes the ship to fly wildly off course. After a near-miss with an Imperial fleet, Luke and Leia encounter four android children capable of controlling the elements and a computerized “Keeper” on a formerly war-torn world who enables them to escape the Imperials.
