The young senator Leia from Alderaan, and member of the Rebel Alliance was to contact the last remaining jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi and beg his assistance in the fight against the Empire. They had almost arrived at Tatooine when a star destroyer appeared from nowhere. As her little ship, "Tantive IV", reverberated from laser blasts, Leia's presence of mind never left her. She went through all the secret documents and destroyed them, except for one...the most important set of plans ever to be stolen. The plans for a huge Death Star capable of destroying entire planets. Quickly she fed them into an artoo unit along with a message to Obi-Wan asking him to deliver the plans to Alderaan for her.

Soon imperial troops had taken over her ship, and after a brief scurmish they stunned her and she was dragged off to meet the reason for her captivity...Darth Vader. She had heard about him of course, his offhand executions, slaughter of civillians, and most of all, his "interrigation" sessions. Nevertheless she faced him boldly, accusing him of attacking a diplomatic mission. If it had been anyone but Vader she might have persuaded them to back off and let her be, she could tell even the officers present thought he was doing the wrong thing. Instead, she was shoved into a temporary cell on the star destroyer, bound for the very thing she had risked so much to try and avoid - the Death Star.

During her entire lifetime she could not blot out the memories of her time, though brief, spent on the giant space station. Several times she almost gave in and told everything she knew. But something always kept her going, kept her sane...until the time an officer came and took her to the bridge. There, under the watchful eyes of Tarkin and Vader there was no hope for escape. She had to watch as they blew up everything she knew, her friends her planet, and the only father she knew.

Back in her cell Leia was in mental agony, until falling into a peaceful forgetful sleep. She woke up to the familiar noise of the door opening, and braced herself for dreadful sound of Vader's resperator. Instead she saw a short stormtrooper, standing there and gawking before removing his helmet to reveal a blonde youth not much older than herself. Apparently he had come to rescue her and was with Obi-Wan. When she left her cell she found herself in the middle of a firefight and the only exit cut off. Quickly she took the lead and jumped down the garbage chute, while the others followed suit. Apparently the boy was called Luke, and his friend was some kind of smuggler. They managed to get out of the garbage bin eventually and with Luke's help she made it back to their ship. Unfortunately, Obi-Wan was killed helping them escape. It seemed Luke was his padawan. They made it back to the rebel base on Yavin IV only to find the Death Star had tracked them. Luke and the smuggler(Han Solo), blew it up just in time.
