Star Wars: A New Hope, the fourth film in George Lucas’ space western, is one of the greatest sci-fi flicks of all time.

Joining Kenobi on a daring mission to save the Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of the evil Darth Vader, with help from smuggler Han Solo and his sidekick Chewbacca, Skywalker soon finds himself part of the Rebel Alliance as they attempt to destroy the Death Star, a weapon of immense power that can destroy planets.
