Publisher's summary

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

Luke Skywalker intercepts a secret message to someone named Obi-Wan Kenobi. The message is from Princess Leia. She is being held captive by the evil Imperial forces, being led by Darth Vader. But she has hidden the plans for the Death Star, the Empire's most deadly weapon, in the droid R2-D2. Obi-Wan must deliver the plans to the Rebel Alliance.
