It is a period of the Galactic Civil War and a Rebel Blockade Runner called the Tantive IV tried to evade a Super Star Destroyer, but the Star Destroyer disabled the ship's weapons. Stormtroopers boarded the ship and shot the Rebel Troopers but the Sith Lord Darth Vader then arrived and Princess Leia pulled a lever and picked up a disk containing the Death Star plans. She along with Captain Antilles traveled through the ship, defeating Stormtroopers in their way and then they found C-3PO and R2-D2, Leia tried to put the disc in R2 but R2 won't cooperate, so Leia opened Artoo's head and dropped the disc in, then left. Antilles recued a Rebel Friend from Stormtroopers, and the Friend joined him and the droids and the droids then escaped on the escape pod and landed on Tatooine. They went their separate ways (although 3PO kicks R2 for going the other way). 3PO then sees a Sandcrawler and jumps to get its attention. Meanwhile, R2 gets captured by Jawas and gets put in Sandcrawler with Threepio. Later, a farm boy named Luke Skywalker buys R2 and 3PO from the Jawas because the other droids are breaking and that night, the Jawas stole R2 and 3PO, so Luke went looking for them, but was attacked by a Tusken Raider and Ben Kenobi arrived and scared him off. Luke and Ben traveled through the Jundland Wastes, fighting Sandpeople and they then arrived in the Sandcrawler and rescued R2 and 3PO. They traveled more through the Jundland Wastes as 3PO used moisture evaporators to dry the mud when the were in front of Ben's hut, they defeated Sandtroopers and went inside. They then see Princess Leia's message and Ben then gave Luke Anakin's old lightsaber. When Luke tried out his new weapon, he accidentally cut 3PO's head off they then drove to Mos Eisle and R2 fell off the Landspeeder, but caught up with them at the cliff over looking Mos Eisley. While driving through Mos Eisley, they were stopped by Sandtroopers but Ben used the Jedi Mind Trick to confuse the Sandtrooper and Luke then hit a civilian Jawa with his landspeeder. When they arrived at the Mos Eisley Cantina, Luke spilled Ponda Baba's drink and Ponda Baba attacked him and Ben then cut off Ponda Baba's arm and he fell in pieces. They then met Han Solo, the captain of the Millennium Falcon as Luke, Ben and the droids waited at the Falcon, Han and his co-pilot Chewbacca chased a mysterious Imperial Spy to the Falcon where he summoned a group of Sandtroopers and Han defeated the Spy and Sandtroopers and he and the gang escaped on the Falcon to go to Alderaan. Meanwhile, on the Death Star, Princess Leia mocked Grand Moff Tarkin, so he ordered the destruction of her home planet Alderaan. Leia cried as her planet was destroyed and Tarkin laughed at her misery. The Falcon jumped out of hyperspace at the remains of Alderaan and a TIE Fighter attacked the Falcon and Han followed it to the Death Star, where the ship lost control. Vader commanded Stormtroopers to search the ship, but Han Solo and Luke Skywalker stole the Stormtroopers' armor and Han walked out and when he saw Vader, he put on a Stormtrooper helmet and tried to act casual. Vader senses Ben on the ship, but walks away. Han dropped the helmet and he and the gang headed to an elevator and they found out that Princess Leia was held prisoner on the Death Star and Ben went to disable the tractor beam, R2 and 3PO hid and Han, Luke and Chewbacca went to rescue the Princess. When they found Leia, she shot the garbage chute hatch and they jumped into the garbage chute, although Han had to tempt Chewie with a bone so they slid through the garbage chute and landed in the trash compacter. Luke enjoyed the ride but Han wasn't enthusiastic and Han shot the wall, but the bolt bounced all over the place and the walls then started to close in on them, and they tried to brace it with something. 3PO noticed it on a computer screen and told R2 to shut it down and R2 saved them when they were about to be crushed. Han, Luke, Chewie, and Leia ventured through the Death Star to escape when they reached the Falcon, Ben was struck down by Vader. The Falcon escaped and they went to Yavin 4 to plan an assault on the Death Star with the Rebel Alliance so Luke Skywalker was an X-wing pilot. The X-wings struggled to open their wings when Luke went into the trench, Vader and a couple of TIE Fighters followed him, but Han in the Millenium Falcon destroyed the TIE Fighters and sent Vader spinning, giving Luke a chance to shoot a Proton Torpedo into the reactor and blew it up and Luke and Han got awards for their efforts.
