The Death Star

Over the course of the rebellion, the empire, in secret, built a huge space station called the Death Star that has the power to destroy a planet. The rebels have to obliterate the death star, or all is lost.

But first, Luke, Hon, And Lea get caught in a trap set by Darth Vader and have to escape. And in the process, Luke learns the terrible truth about his father. This heart wrenching scene will have you tearing up.

The music in this film is sensational; written by John Williams, the famous composer.
