Star Wars Month Starts With Episode IV – A New Hope This Weekend!

Have this article read to you, listen to it like a podcast

It all began with a galaxy far, far away… Venture into warp-speed with the one that started it all — 1977’s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (aka just Star Wars).

Ages ago, evil Imperial forces kidnap Princess Leia of Alderaan in their efforts to take over the Galactic Empire. When the legendary Ben Kenobi hears of the Empire’s dire claim, he recruits the venturesome Luke Skywalker of Tattooine and Han Solo, the dashing captain of the Millennium Falcon, to unite with robo-duo R2-D2 and C-3PO and rescue Leia, all while restoring peace and justice to the galaxy.

The very beginning of perhaps the most iconic franchise in American cinema, Star Wars changed the game of the film industry with its stunningly inspired iconography and revolutionary special effects.
