In a galaxy far, far away, lives a boy named Luke, who wishes for nothing more than to be a Jedi Knight. Since the empire took over, however, Jedis are scarce and the universe is in danger once more. When two droids come into Luke’s possession, he uncovers a message of a princess who needs Obi-Wan Kenobi’s help. Old Be n Kenobi, a hermit, is the only one Luke can think of, so he goes to him for help. That life-changing decision send Luke on a hair-raising adventure fraught with danger, light-sabers, princesses, strange creatures, and his life will never be the same. But, can he save the princess, the empire, and achieve his dream of being a Jedi?
