Anakin Skywalker is a young boy who can use the Force, which is a magic-like power. The Force can move things without touching and can predict what is soon to happen. The people who use the Force for good things are called Jedi; the people who use the force for bad things are called the Sith. Two Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, find Anakin and help him. After many years, the galaxy's government has a war with planets who left the government. Anakin helps the Jedi save many people and many planets. But then it turns out that the leader of the government is a Sith Lord, and he gets Anakin to help him kill all the Jedi. Anakin then turns into a villain named Darth Vader.
Anakin has two children, Luke and Leia, that he does not know about. Luke and Leia help fight the evil government, called the Empire. Luke also learns from Obi-Wan Kenobi how to be a Jedi. In the end, they beat the Empire. Luke also helps Anakin be good again. The galaxy is saved.
