SYNOPSIS:
In a galaxy far, far away. The forces of
the Empire, headed by Darth Vader, capture Princess Leia Organa of the
intergalactic Rebellion. She leaves all-important information about the
flaws in the Empire’s top-secret weapon The Death Star in the company of
two droids C3PO and R2D2. The droids flee in an escape pod down to the
surface of the remote desert planet Tattooine. They are captured by
native Jawas and sold into the company of naïve young farmboy Luke
Skywalker who dreams of joining the Rebellion. Luke accidentally
uncovers a hologram left inside R2D2 by Princess Leia for former Jedi
Knight Obi-wan Ben Kenobi. Meeting Ben Kenobi, Luke realises that his
aunt and uncle have been keeping the truth about his father, who was a
Jedi Knight, from him. When Vader’s forces kill his aunt and uncle, Luke
joins Ben Kenobi as he sets out to answer the princess’s call. Ben
starts to teach Luke to understand his mystical powers as a Jedi. Hiring
the services of the space pilot Han Solo, they set off to save the
princess and stop the Death Star before it destroys the Rebel
stronghold.
