Star Wars was the ultimate movie experience of the 1970s. Now, appearing in hardcover nearly twenty years since its first publication, here is the first thrilling novel in the epic that lives on as one of the most-loved science fiction sagas of all time.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
Luke Skywalker lived and worked on his uncle’s farm on the remote planet of Tatooine—but he yearned for adventures out among the stars, adventures that would take him beyond the farthest galaxies to distant and alien worlds.
But Luke got more than he bargained for when he intercepted a cryptic message from a beautiful princess held captive by a dark and powerful warlord. Luke didn’t know who she was, but he knew he had to save her—and soon, because time was running out. Armed only with courage and with the lightsaber that had been his father’s, Luke was catapulted into the middle of the most savage space war ever…and headed straight for a desperate encounter on the enemy battle station known as the Death Star…
Luke Skywalker. Han Solo. Princess Leia. Artoo-Detoo. See-Threepio. Darth Vader. They’re all here in an adventure that ignited the imagination of a generation…
