The Story
Princess Leia, one of the leaders of the Rebellion, is captured
by the evil Darth Vader in a mission to deliver the construction
plans of the Empire's new secret weapon, the Death Star, to
the rebels.
She manages to hide the plans in a droid, R2-D2, who escapes
with another droid, C3PO, and shall deliver the plans to General
Kenobi, one of the last Jedi Knights, once the keepers of
peace and justice in the galaxy, before almost completely
destroyed by the Emperor and Darth Vader, a former Jedi seduced
by the Dark Side of the Force.
After some adventures on the planet Tatooine, R2-D2 and C3PO
meet Luke Skywalker, and finally "Ben" Obi-Wan Kenobi,
former general in the Clone Wars and Jedi Knight. He unveils
that Luke's father was a Jedi Knight and gives him a lightsaber,
the Jedi's weapon.
The four team up with smuggler Han Solo and his co-pilot
Chewbacca to deliver the plans to high-ranking rebels on Alderaan,
home-world of Princess Leia. They escape the Imperial Stormtroopers
searching for droids with Han Solo's ship, the Millenium Falcon.
Meanwhile, Darth Vader is interrogating Princess Leia in
an attempt to regain the plans of the Death Star and find
the secret location of the rebel's base. Alderaan is destroyed
by the Death Star.
While the Millenium Falcon is racing to Alderaan, Kenobi
teaches Luke about The Force. They arrive too late - Alderaan
is destroyed, and the Falcon is captured by the Death Star.
The crew stays undiscovered, hidden in secret compartments
usually used for smuggling.
R2-D2 logs into the Death Stars computer system, and Obi-Wan
Kenobi leaves to deactivate the magnetic beam tieing the Millenium
Falcon. R2-D2 locates Princess Leia and finds information
she's going to be executed. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are
going to her rescue.
Obi-Wan can de-activate the magnetic beam, but is being intercepted
by Darth Vader, his former apprentice who turned to the dark
side of The Force. In the following lightsaber-duel Kenobi
is seemingly killed by Darth Vader, but his body is disappeared.
Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and the droids escape with Princess
Leia, but the Imperials have hidden a tracking device on the
Millenium Falcon and the Death Star is following them to the
secret rebel base.
The rebels are analyzing the construction plans carried by
R2-D2, and when the Death Star arrives at the rebel base on
Yavin IV, they discovered a weak spot and - after a hard battle
- destroy the Death Star, while Darth Vader escapes.
