Star Wars: A New Hope Scene 1 Summary

  • The film opens with that classic text crawl and some seriously epic music.
  • The text informs us that, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away the Rebels have won their first victory against the Galactic Empire and have stolen plans to the Death Star.
  • The Empire's agents are pursuing Princess Leia (rebel royalty with a Cinnabon-looking hairstyle) because they want their stuff back.
  • Now that we're hip on current events, the movie can begin.
