Darth Vader is chasing the Senator and princess from Alderaan, Leia Organa, who has the Death Star plans. Leia sneakily hides the plans alongside a message for Obi-Wan Kenobi, a former Jedi who her father knew, in her droid R2-D2. Artoo went to the escape pods with his protocol droid C-3P0 and jettisoned to Tatooine. There, they found Luke Skywalker, son of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala and unknowingly the sister of Leia Organa. R2-D2 found Obi-Wan and gave him the message. Luke is pulled into a world he is unfamiliar with, as Obi-Wan tells him to join him on his journey to the Death Star to save Leia from Imperial imprisonment.
