A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... The Jedi Knights have been exterminated and the Empire rules the galaxy with an iron fist. A small group of Rebels have dared to fight back by stealing the secret plans to the Empire's mightiest weapon, the Death Star battle station. The Emperor's most trusted servant, Darth Vader, must find the plans, and locate the hidden Rebel base. Lady Winter Retrac (later married surname Celchu), a captive Rebel leader and handmaiden to Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, sends out a distress signal along with her best friend the princess in which both are intercepted by a simple farm boy, Luke Skywalker. Seizing his destiny, Luke takes up the challenge to join Leia to rescue her handmaiden and help the Rebellion overthrow the Empire, along with such unforgettable allies as the wise Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, the cocky but fearless Corellian space pirate Han Solo, his loyal Wookiee co-pilot Chewbacca, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO.
