Star Wars' Galactic Civil War continued to rage between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi with several significant events.
Within Star Wars' original trilogy, a series of major events happened between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Taking place after the Rebel Fleet was scattered by the Empire following the Battle of Hoth, Lucasfilm has been canonically filling in the blanks as to what happened in the year-long interim. After all, the Galactic Civil War didn't just stop in between episodes.
8 Star Wars' Rebel Fleet Reforms After The Battle of Hoth After the Rebellion was forced to retreat and scatter its forces after Hoth, the Empire was relentless in its assault. Hoping to eliminate the Rebels once and for all, Imperial agents successfully cracked the Rebel Fleet's encrypted communication channels, guaranteeing that they'd be able to intercept any Rebels attempting to reunite.
Additionally, Padmé's surviving handmaids and followers united as a force known as the Amidalans, having the sole mission to destroy Vader. As such, the legacy of his late wife caused Vader to become severely unbalanced in the dark side of the Force. That said, later issues would see the Dark Lord of the Sith corrupting Padmé's most loyal handmaid Sabé in the name of order .
Following Maul's demise in the years before A New Hope, Qi'ra expanded Crimson Dawn with spies and assassins embedded all over the galaxy. Furthermore, she stole Han Solo to auction the smuggler off in a master scheme to pit the Hutts and Empire against each other. That said, Fett was able to retrieve Solo despite all the interested parties who wanted the smuggler, including the Empire as well as the Rebellion who tried to rescue their friend.
3 The Knights of Ren Enter Palpatine's Service Marvel Comics' Hidden Empire was the culmination of Qi'ra's grand plan. Having obtained the ancient artifact known as the Fermata Cage, Palpatine and Vader were led to believe that Qi'ra wanted to release a Sith Lord against them, one who'd been suspended within the artifact for centuries.
