Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope

Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope is the first part of the Star Wars original trilogy and the first title of the Star Wars saga released.
The film is set 19 years after the formation of the Galactic Empire and the events of Revenge of the Sith; construction has finished on the Death Star, a weapon capable of destroying a planet. After Princess Leia Organa, a leader of the Rebel Alliance, receives the weapon's plans in the hope of finding a weakness, she is kidnapped and taken to the Death Star. Meanwhile, a young farmer named Luke Skywalker meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has lived in seclusion for years on the desert planet of Tatooine. When Luke's home is burned and his aunt and uncle killed, Obi-Wan begins Luke's Jedi training as they—along with Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2 attempt to rescue the princess from the Empire.
==Plot==
In the year 1026 AGR (After the Great Restructuring), young Leia Organa is at the Royal Palace of Alderaan waiting for her father, Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan, who was in a meeting on Chandrila with other senators. She sees his ship, the Tantive IV, arriving at the Palace Hangar, and rushes to meet him. Bail exits the ship accompanied by the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. Leia and Bail begin to talk about the meeting, while Breha, Leia's mother, joins them both and greets her husband. Bail and Breha leave Leia talking to the droids while the two have a more serious conversation about the meeting. Breha asks if Garm Bel Iblis and Mon Mothma have managed to rally more planets to "the cause" and Bail says that Lee-Char of Mon Cala and Suib Tevv of Sullust have shown support.
On Tatooine, Luke Skywalker is standing in front of his house with his friends Biggs Darklighter, Laze Loneozner, and Camie Sunber. Biggs calls Luke away from the others and tells him that he is leaving the planet because he has signed up for the Imperial Academy to become a pilot. Luke says he dreams of being one too, and hopes that his uncles Owen and Beru Lars don't stop him.
