The Galactic Republic was a peaceful government led by the Galactic Senate that lasted for more than a total of twenty-five thousand years. Then in Episode I, the Trade Federation (later known joined with others to form the Separatists), a trading group, was convinced by the evil Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who was actually Senator Palpatine, to attack the world of Naboo using their Droid Army. They attacked, but Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn were called in from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to negotiate with Nute Gunray (the leader of the Trade Federation), and they freed Queen Amidala, her advisers and pilots from the droids and fled back to Coruscant, but had to stop at Tatooine for repairs after they broke through the Droid Navy blockade at Naboo. Later, they met Anakin Skywalker, a Force-Sensitive slave on the world. After going to his house and meeting his mother, Shmi Skywalker, and Anakin's protocol droid, C-3PO, Qui-Gon Jinn realized the potential that Anakin had in himself and believed that he was the chosen one. Later on Anakin entered a podrace and won first place and enough money for the others to repair the Queen's ship. Then Anakin left Tatooine to grow up and become a Jedi Knight. The Queen had asked the Supreme Chancellor Valorum for help on the invasion of her planet, but she didn't get that much help from that. But it did cause for a new Chancellor to be elected, Palpatine. So the only choice she had left was to ask the Gungan army for help. Meanwhile, Qui-Gon tried to have Anakin become a Jedi, but he was rejected by the Council for being too old, and having too much fear. So they all went back to Naboo, where the fight was becoming the Battle of Naboo. It was the Gungan Army, and the Naboo Army against the Trade Federation's Battle Droid Army. Anakin had stumbled into a Naboo N-1 Starfighter and had flew off into space to destroy the Droid Control Ship (by firing torpedoes into the main reactor), while the others had been fighting off droids on the planet. They all then stumbled into Darth Maul, Sidious' apprentice, so the plan was that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan would fight him off while the others deal with the droids. In the battle in space, Anakin destroyed the ship and saved the Gungans from certain defeat, and possibly death. Amidala and her troops succeeded in their part. So did Obi-Wan, but in order to have this happen, Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul, which lead to the anger and sorrow that built up in himself, so he instantly flipped, grabbing his master's lightsaber, and bisected Maul. Qui-Gon's sacrifice inspired the council to allow Anakin to become a Jedi youngling. There was then a massive celebration on Naboo to celebrate the victory and the peaceful reuniting of the Naboo and the Gungans.
10 years later, in Episode II, the Trade Federation hired two notorious assassins, Mandalorian bounty hunterJango Fett and Clawdite assassin Zam Wesell, to assassinate the Senator of Naboo, Padme Amidala after she ruined his plans for control of the Naboo system in Episode I. After the attempt was quelled by her bodyguards, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker, Kenobi went to Kamino to track Jango Fett, and Skywalker was assigned as Amidala's personal bodyguard. While he was there, Kenobi discovered that a clone army was being created at the request of the now dead Jedi, Master Sifo-Dyas. Obi Wan found out that the newly-found Separatist Alliance led by Count Dooku was building a droid army on Geonosis, so he tried to inform the Jedi Council, and was then captured by the hostile Geonisians. Anakin, Padme and R2-D2 (an astromech that helped Anakin in the battle of Naboo) were on Tatooine because Anakin was searching for his mother, who he found captured by Tusken Raiders. When she died in his arms, Anakin became so angry that he slaughtered all of the sand people. When he returned to the Lars' homestead, where his mother had stayed as the wife of Cliegg Lars, they received Obi-Wan's message. While they did send the message to the council as instructed, the two went to Geonosis to help anyway. But they were also captured, until a strike team of 200 Jedi led by Jedi Master Mace Windu, came to rescue them. After a short skirmish, Master Yoda arrived with the Clone Army to rescue the Jedi. Then Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi attempted to capture Count Dooku. After a short but intense duel, Dooku was forced to retreat, but not before wounding Obi Wan and cutting off Anakin's right arm. As a result of the Republic's 'victory' in the First Battle of Geonosis, the Clone Wars had begun. Afterwards, Anakin and Padme got married in secret, and Anakin replaced his arm with a robotic one.
In Episode III, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and the Republic's Open Circle Fleet fought against a large Separatist Navy fleet in orbit of Coruscant after the Separatists had led a lightning-fast invasion and captured Chancellor Palpatine. They boarded cyborg General Grievous's flagship, the Invisible Hand, and dueled Count Dooku, resulting in Kenobi getting minor injuries and Anakin killing Dooku at the request of Chancellor Palpatine. They freed Chancellor Palpatine from him, who was being held prisoner on the bridge. While Grievous escaped, the three and R2 managed to safely "land" the ship on Coruscant. When they got back, Obi-Wan left to report to the Council, while Anakin went to see Padme, who reviled she was pregnant. Later, Palpatine told Anakin he wanted him to be his personal representative of the Jedi Council. The Jedi approved, but did not grant him the title "Jedi Master". Anakin became angry at the Jedi Order for not letting him become a Master, and got even angrier that Palpatine, who was Anakin's friend, was not trusted by the Order, and they wanted Anakin to spy on him. Anakin refused, and later Kenobi and the 212th Attack Battalion was sent to Utapau, a world where Grievous was spotted, and Anakin had to stay on Coruscant. Later, Yoda went to Kashyyyk in the Outer Rim to defend it from the invading Separatist forces alongside the Wookies. Meanwhile on Coruscant, Palpatine revealed to Anakin that he was the Sith, Darth Sidious, and that he knew about Anakin's visions of Padme dying, and that he could help. This lead to Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tinn to lead an attempt to arrest Palpatine. All but Windu were cut down in a matter of seconds, but Palpatine was a fought to a stalemate by Windu. But Anakin then arrived in a fighter and Palpatine took the opportunity to turn him to the Dark Side once and for all. After Anakin sliced off Windu's sword arm, Palpatine took the chance to blast him with Sith Lightning and throw him out of a window. Anakin's soul was lost, and in its place the Sith, Darth Vader, was born. Sidious then gave the clone troopers across the galaxy an order to execute Order 66, a contingency order that branded the Jedi as traitors to the clone troopers. Clones across the Galaxy turned on their Jedi Generals and killed them including Ki-Adi-Mundi on Mygeeto, Stass Allie on Saleucami, Plo Koon on Cato Neimoidia, Aayla Secura on Felucia, and thousands of others with only a few surviving including Ahsoka Tano, Kanan Jarrus, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Palpatine then called an emergency meeting in the Senate, where he said that the Jedi had tried to kill him and take control of the Republic. To prevent any further attack, he then re-organized the Republic into the first Galactic Empire. Vader was then sent by Sidious to the volcanic world of Mustafar where he was to "take care" of the Separatists. Then Padmé arrived and told him that Obi Wan said he killed younglings and turned to the dark side. Obi Wan, who was secretly aboard, emerged from the boarding ramp and Vader force-choked Padmé due to believing that they were both conspiring to kill him. While this happened, Yoda left to confront Sidious, but he realized that the Sith had evolved in the past two-thousand years, and the Jedi had remained the same. Thus, Yoda retreated, knowing he could not win. The two former friends on Mustafar continued to battle, and Vader lost. His legs and remaining arm were cut off, and he then fell near a lava river, but was rescued by Sidious and a squad of Shock Troopers after being burned severely. Padmé was taken to a medical center, where Luke and Leia are born. Padmé dies after naming her twins, having lost the will to live after Anakin's fall to the Dark Side. Vader was brought to Coruscant and was sealed in a new suit and helmet to keep him alive. Yoda exiled himself to Dagobah, Senator Bail Organa adopts Leia, and Luke is brought to his Uncle and aunt, Owen and Beru on Tatooine where Obi Wan will watch over him until the time would come for Luke to become the first in a new Jedi Order. But Obi-Wan also was training with Yoda to survive beyond death, while still retaining his consciousness, but not his physical form...
In Episode IV, Princess Leia, who was a member of the Rebel Alliance, and her ship, the Tantive IV, was being pursued by Vader's flagship, the ISD Devastator. She was captured after Stormtroopers, Imperial soldiers who were once the clones, boarded the ship and killed everyone on board. She put a message for Obi-Wan Kenobiand the Death Star plans in R2-D2. Him, along with C-3PO, who was given to Padme as a wedding gift from Anakin until she died, and 3PO were given to Bail after the fall of the Republic. The two escaped to Tatooine in an escape pod and wandered in the desert. But they were captured by Jawas, and the Empire sent troops to find them. Luke Skywalker was a teenager by now, and was still living with his Aunt and Uncle on the desert world of Tatooine. He wanted to go to the Imperial Academy, but his Aunt and Uncle didn't let him for fear that he wouldn't be able to stay with them and not get involved. Later, his Uncle purchased the two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, to work around the farm. When R2-D2 went to find Obi-Wan shortly after, and Luke and C-3PO went after him. They found him but were attacked by Tusken Raiders, and were rescued by Obi-Wan, who called himself Ben Kenobi to hide from the Empire. Luke found out that Kenobi was a Jedi, and Kenobi told him he was Force-sensitive, and he should train to become a Jedi. The four stumbled upon a destroyed Jawa sand crawler, who were the ones that sold Artoo and Threepio to Luke. He went back to the farm in a panic and saw that everything was destroyed. He decided to leave with Ben to the world of Alderaan as per instructed by the message Leia left with Artoo. They payed Han Solo and Chewbacca to take them there, but they found that the planet had been destroyed by the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star. They were captured by it, and rescued Leia from the prison while Ben turned off the Tractor Beam. But he was killed in a final duel with Vader. The others escaped to the Rebel base, and after an attack on the Death Star, it was destroyed, but Vader managed to escape. Luke, Han, and Chewbacca were then awarded by the Alliance in a huge medal ceremony.
Later, in Episode V, Luke joined the Rebellion and was patrolling around Echo Base on the frozen ice world of Hoth. The Empire was searching for the Rebel base and sent an Imperial probe droid to Hoth, and Luke was thought it was a meteor crash. He was attacked by a Wampa ice creature while looking for it, but later escaped from it and was rescued by Han Solo. Han had already decided to leave to pay off a debt to Jabba the Hutt, but had to stay, for it was too cold for any ship to leave. Later, the Empire attacked with Snowtroopers and massive All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT ) walkers, led by General Veers. Luke lead a squad of snowspeeders to take out the walkers, but failed and the base was lost. The surviving Rebel troops evacuated. Han, Leia, Threepio and Chewbacca were followed by a squad of Star Destroyers, and fled into an asteroid field hoping they would give up the chase. They landed inside and asteroid, but realized it was a space slug, and quickly left. They then headed to Cloud City, where Han's friend Lando Calrissian was located. Later, Han was betrayed by Calrissian and captured. Meanwhile, Luke left to Dagohbah, as he was told to by the spirit of Obi-Wan. There, he finally met Yoda, who trained in the ways of the Force, but with much hesitance, as Luke was as reckless and impatient as his father. Han was taken by Jango Fett's "son", Boba Fett, to the crime lord Jabba the Hutt and was frozen in carbonite. Luke had visions of this, and left to help his friends, though he did not complete his training. When he arrived, Vader was waiting for him. After a huge battle between the two, Luke lost hid hand, and Vader revealed that he was Luke's father. Lando helped Leia, Chewbacca and the droids escape because he never wanted them to be hurt, all he wanted was for his city to be protected. But he had to leave, and they quickly rescued Luke before they left. When they returned to the Rebel Alliance, Luke replaced his hand, as his father had with his own lost hand. Lando and Chewbacca then left to go free Han from Jabba the Hutt.
In Episode VI, Leia tried to rescue Han from Jabba's palace on Tatooine but was captured. Luke came to try to rescue Han, Chewbacca, Leia, Threepio, and R2, but was taken prisoner. He then was forced into a pit with a horrible rancor monster, but managed to kill the beast. Luke was to be thrown into the mouth of the Sarlacc with the others, but managed to get to Jabba's sail barge, destroy it, and escaped with Leia, Han, Chewie, Lando, and the two droids. They made it to the Rebel fleet, where the space attack on the Death Star II battle station over the forest moon of Endor was being planned. Luke left to Dagohbah to complete his training, but Yoda said it was nearly done already. But before he could fully become a Jedi Knight, he had to kill Vader. Before Yoda did of old age though, he told Luke that there was another Skywalker. Obi-Wan then helped Luke realize that Leia was his sister, and with that he returned to the Rebel fleet. Luke, Han, Chewie, Leia, and the droids were to go down to the planet surface with a group of Rebel Commandos and destroy the shield generator bunker on the planet surface. They left to the world and made it past the blockade, and landed. They went to the bunker, but had to fight Scout troopers on speeder bikes and Leia was lost and captured by Ewoks. Then, the strike team waited near the bunker while the droids, Luke, Han, and Chewie searched for Leia, but were captured by Ewoks, but freed and were made part of the tribe, thanks to the illusion that C-3PO was an Ewok god. They then attacked the bunker, and the fleet attacked the Death Star, and Luke told Leia that she was his sister and Vader was their father. He then left to Vader to turn him back to the light side. The bunker was destroyed after a battle, and Luke managed to destroy the form of Darth Vader and revive Anakin Skywalker once and for all. But Anakin died while killing the Emperor on the Death Star. Meanwhile, the Death Star II was attacked by Lando and the Rebel's. Luke managed to escape before the Death Star, and the empire, were destroyed. The Rebel Alliance, Ewoks, and other planets (like Tatooine, Coruscant, and Naboo) celebrated the fall of the Empire. Luke saw the spirits of Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin during the celebration. After watching them, he turned back to enjoy the festivities.
