It is a period of civil war.
Rebel spaceships, striking from
a hidden base, have won their
first victory against the
evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, Rebel spies
managed to steal secret plans
to the Empire's ultimate weapon,
the DEATH STAR, an armoured space
station with enough power to
destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's sinister
agents, Princess Leia races home
board her starship, custodian of
the stolen plans that can save
her people and restore freedom
to the galaxy…
