A young farm boy named Luke Skywalker discovers a message from a rebel princess, Leia Organa, hidden in a droid. He meets an old Jedi knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who tells him about the Force and gives him his father’s lightsaber. Together, they hire a smuggler, Han Solo, and his Wookiee co-pilot, Chewbacca, to take them to the planet Alderaan, where Leia’s adoptive father is the leader of the rebellion against the evil Galactic Empire. However, they find out that Alderaan has been destroyed by the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the Death Star, a moon-sized space station with a powerful laser. They are captured by the Death Star’s tractor beam and taken aboard. There, they rescue Leia from her cell and try to escape, while Obi-Wan confronts his former apprentice, Darth Vader, who is now a Sith Lord and the second-in-command of the Empire. Obi-Wan sacrifices himself to allow the others to flee, and they manage to reach the rebel base on Yavin 4. There, they join a desperate attack on the Death Star, which has followed them and is preparing to destroy the rebel planet. Luke uses the Force to guide his torpedoes into a small exhaust port, triggering a chain reaction that blows up the Death Star. He is hailed as a hero by the rebels and receives a medal from Leia, along with Han and Chewbacca.
