A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... The evil Galactic Empire exerts its oppressive power over the universe. With the Death Star, a space station capable of destroying planets, the Empire's dominance seems unchallenged. The only force standing against them is the Rebel Alliance, a group fighting to restore peace and freedom. When the Rebels successfully steal plans for the Death Star, they are pursued by Darth Vader, the Empire's enforcer. Princess Leia Organa, a secret member of the Rebellion, hides the plans within the droid R2-D2 before her capture. As Leia is taken to the Death Star, R2-D2 and C-3PO escape to Tatooine, a desert planet. Here, the droids meet Luke Skywalker, a young farmer who soon learns of Leia's predicament. Having suffered under the Empire's tyranny, Luke resolves to rescue her. Joined by Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi, smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca, and the droids, Luke sets out on his mission, unaware that they might be the new hope the galaxy needs. Star Wars: A New Hope is an adaptation of the 1977 American film Star Wars. The manga's cover art was created by Noriyoshi Ohrai. This series was published in English as Star Wars: A New Hope - Manga by Dark Horse Comics from July 15, 1998, to December 2, 1998. It was also published in Brazilian Portuguese by Editora JBC from June 2002 to July 2002. Related Entries: Prequel (Manga): Star Wars: Phantom Menace Sequel (Manga): Star Wars: Teikoku no Gyakushuu
