Now... a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... A New Hope! Learn more about the ruthless Galactic Empire, the mysterious Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the courageous Luke Skywalker as some of the story gaps, not fully explained in the film are presented in this classic adaptation of George Lucas's Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope! Story (Spoilers!) In part #1, It is a period of Civil War in the galaxy. A brave alliance of Underground Freedom Fighters has challenged the tyranny and oppression of the awesome Galactic Empire. To crush the rebellion once and for all, the Empire is constructing a sinister new Battle Station. Powerful enough to destroy an entire planet, its completion will spell certain doom for the champions of freedom. Striking from a fortress hidden among the billion stars of the galaxy, Rebel Spaceships have won their first victory in a battle with the powerful Imperial Starfleet. The Empire fears that another defeat could bring a thousand more solar systems into the rebellion, and Imperial control over the galaxy would be lost forever. Imperial Forces led by Darth Vader capture Princess Leia Organa's ship, which is on a mission for the Rebel Alliance. Two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, manage to escape from the Rebel ship with data critical to the Princess' cause. After arriving on the nearby planet Tatooine, the droids are acquired by young moisture farmer Luke Skywalker and his uncle Owen Lars to work at their farm. Luke finds part of an urgent message from Leia to Obi-Wan Kenobi in R2's memory. R2 escapes from the farm with the intention of finding Kenobi on his own; Luke, fearing punishment from his uncle for losing the droid, pursues R2 to the Jundland Wastes, only to be attacked by a band of ferocious Sand People. Next in part #2, Imperial Forces led by Darth Vader capture Princess Leia Organa's ship, which is on a mission for the Rebel Alliance. Two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, manage to escape from the Rebel ship with data critical to the Princess' cause. After arriving on the nearby planet Tatooine, the droids are acquired by young moisture farmer Luke Skywalker and his uncle Owen Lars to work at their farm. Luke finds part of an urgent message from Leia to Obi-Wan Kenobi in R2's memory. R2 escapes from the farm with the intention of finding Kenobi on his own; Luke, fearing punishment from his uncle for losing the droid, pursues R2 to the Jundland Wastes, only to be attacked by a band of ferocious Sand People. Next in part #3, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin destroys the planet Alderaan with the Death Star, while the captive Princess Leia Organa looks on in despair. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker, with the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, are being transported to Alderaan in the Millennium Falcon, piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca. As they approach their destination, they discover the remnants of the destroyed planet and are soon captured by the Death Star. While on the Death Star, they find that Princess Leia is being held there, and they attempt to rescue her from her captors. Next in part #4, After having some difficulty escaping Imperial stormtroopers aboard the Death Star, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the rescued Princess Leia Organa meet with the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO at Docking Bay 327, which holds the Millennium Falcon. Obi-Wan Kenobi also arrives but is confronted by Darth Vader, and the two engage in a lightsaber duel. Vader strikes Kenobi down in the duel, but in the confusion Luke, Leia, Han, and the rest of the group make their escape from the Death Star aboard the Falcon. Next in part #5, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia Organa flee the Death Star to the Rebel Alliance base on the moon Yavin 4. There they deliver R2-D2 to the Rebels, who use the information he is carrying to create a plan to destroy the Death Star. Meanwhile, the Death Star has followed the Millennium Falcon to the Rebel base intent on destroying it. Panicked, the Rebels send their pilots on a mission to destroy the Death Star. Luke, who has decided to help the Rebels, meets up with his old friend Biggs Darklighter as they get ready to blast off into space. Finally in part #6, The Death Star's imminent attack on the Rebel Alliance base on Yavin 4 prompts the Rebels to send a squad of T-65 X-wing starfighters to destroy the giant space station. A space battle ensues between the X-wings and Imperial TIE fighters. Luke Skywalker, with the timely help of Han Solo and Chewbacca, exploits the Death Star's tiny weakness and destroys it, saving the day for the Rebellion. On Yavin 4, an award ceremony is held for the Rebel heroes. Trade Paperback reprints/collects: Star Wars (1977) Issues #1-6.
