It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...
The camera pans down. The moons appear. The glowing golden planet Tattooine appears. The first starship, its engines at full burn and its guns firing madly, appears- and the immense bulk of the second ship follows. That one's going to take a while to cross the entire screen.
"Understand that this was done with model ships," Gordon murmurs as the rebel ship shudders under fire and the camera cuts to an interior shot of two droids. "State of the art visual effects in 1977."
