In a galaxy far, far away, a psychopathic emperor and his most trusted servant - a former Jedi Knight known as Darth Vader - are ruling a universe with fear. They have built a horrifying weapon known as the Death Star, a giant battle station capable of annihilating a world in less than a second. When the Death Star's master plans are captured by the fledgling Rebel Alliance, Vader starts a pursuit of the ship carrying them. A young dissident Senator, Leia Organa, is aboard the ship & puts the plans into a maintenance robot named R2-D2. Although she is captured, the Death Star plans cannot be found, as R2 & his companion, a tall robot named C-3PO, have escaped to the desert world of Tatooine below. Through a series of mishaps, the robots end up in the hands of a farm boy named Luke Skywalker, who lives with his Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru. Owen & Beru are viciously murdered by the Empire's stormtroopers who are trying to recover the plans, and Luke & the robots meet with former Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi to try to return the plans to Leia Organa's home, Alderaan. After contracting a pilot named Han Solo & his Wookiee companion Chewbacca, they escape an Imperial blockade. But when they reach Alderaan's coordinates, they find it destroyed - by the Death Star. They soon find themselves caught in a tractor beam & pulled into the Death Star. Although they rescue Leia Organa from the Death Star after a series of narrow escapes, Kenobi becomes one with the Force after being killed by his former pupil - Darth Vader. They reach the Alliance's base on Yavin's fourth moon, but the Imperials are in hot pursuit with the Death Star, and plan to annihilate the Rebel base. The Rebels must quickly find a way to eliminate the Death Star before it destroys them as it did Alderaan. Written by Derek O'Cain

  • a must see movie of all time :)

  • its sad alec guiness hated star wars. he hated the constant praise

  • @sorry209 Avatar is a disgrace to film art. Avatar is a big piece of shit. Avatar is for little kids who dont care for the plot and story but just for the digital effects. Avatar has totally unoriginal plot and it sucks. Avatar even stole the title from Avatar: The last airbender so now the real Avatar movie is called just The last Airbender. Avatar is NOTHING compared to Star Wars, Back to the future and any other legendary movie. AVATAR IS SHIT!!!!

  • @sorry209

  • this is it

  • Actually, the trailer I remember said "The story of a boy.........a girl.........and a galaxy" towards the end.

  • 1977? maan too bad i started watching from number one..

  • "Romance of the Future"
