Original trilogy of 'Star Wars' films written by George Lucas. In 'Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope' (1977), on discovering a secret message hidden inside a droid that his family have bought, young farmhand Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) becomes involved with a band of fearless rebels as they try to take on the might of the Empire, led by the evil Emperor and Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader (Dave Prowse). Along the way he befriends Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) and roguish space pilot Han Solo (Harrison Ford) as he sets off on a quest to save Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). In 'Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back' (1980), after the destruction of the Death Star, the rebels led by Luke and Leia are on the run from the vengeful Empire. Holed up on an inhospitable ice planet, they are soon discovered and must flee across the galaxy. Luke decides to visit an old Jedi Knight while Han and Leia become involved in a game of cat and mouse with Vader and a host of bounty hunters led by Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch). In 'Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi' (1983), with Han being held captive by Jabba the Hutt (voice of Larry Ward), his friends Luke, Leia, Lando (Billy Dee Williams), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) and C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) plan a rescue mission. Then the intrepid group must make another assault on the new, more powerful Death Star and Luke must face his destiny in the shape of Darth Vader.
