The Galaxy, a place of many species and many evils. Ruled with an iron fist by Emperor Palpatine and the Sith lord Darth Vader, many people live in fear and anger. Even in the shadows though, light still shines through. A growing band of rebels have formed the Rebel Alliance and are slowly growing to be a thorn in the Empire's side. Hero's of the Rebellion are the likes of Princess Leia, the smuggler Han Solo and his co-pilot Chewbacca and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. The most promising member of the Rebels however is a young man, Luke Skywalker. Identified as being Force-strong, Luke has started down the path of the Jedi, an ancient order of peacekeepers all but destroyed by the Empire. Together, they may just be able to topple the evil Empire.
