Storyline
Part IV in George Lucas' epic, Star Wars: A New Hope opens with a Rebel ship being boarded by the tyrannical Darth Vader. The plot then follows the life of a simple farm boy, Luke Skywalker, as he and his newly met allies (Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO, R2-D2) attempt to rescue a Rebel leader, Princess Leia, from the clutches of the Empire. The conclusion is culminated as the Rebels, including Skywalker and flying ace Wedge Antilles make an attack on the Empire's most powerful and ominous weapon, the Death Star. Written by P. Wong <pwong@nt.net>

Trivia
The cast and crew's nickname for David Prowse was Darth Farmer, because of his heavy Bristol accent. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Luke rescues Leia, he says that he's "here with Ben Kenobi", to which Leia replies "Ben Kenobi?! Where is he?" One would think Leia would have been confused or hesitant at the name "Ben Kenobi", since she only knew him as Obi-Wan Kenobi. And why didn't Luke just say "Obi-Wan Kenobi" since he knew that was the name Leia was familiar with? See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
To compensate for the new special edition credits inserted in versions 1997 and beyond, a longer instrumental suite plays during the credits roll, integrating various themes from throughout the film. See more »
