REVIEW
The first film, "Star Wars", takes us through Luke Skywalker's discovery of his destiny. He finds an old Jedi Knight, Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, who takes it on himself to train Luke in the ways of the force. Unfortunately Ben and Luke get drafted by Princess Leia in an attempt to save her and oppose the evil emperor and his second in command, Lord Darth Vader. They are aided by a smuggler/pilot, Han Solo and his copilot Chewbacca in the fastest ship in the cosmos, the Millennium Falcon. Some heavy duty action is had by all when Leia is rescued, (losing Ben in the process) and the emperor's death star is destroyed with only moments to spare before the rebel base was to be obliterated.
