Now comes the summary of the entire series: The entire first 6-episode series is about the demise of cosmic civilization, the demise of the Jedi knight organization and the story told is the fate of a human being. How can it affect the fate of the entire universe?
These episodes are closely related to the life of Anakin Skywalker – Darth Vader, his childhood, his challenges as he grew up, talking about love, talking about heroic moments, as well as talking about how he was fell to the evil side because of his lust for power, but in the end thanks to love and family, he redeemed himself for the mistakes he made.
Anakin Skywalker was found by Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn, who believed that Anakin was the “Chosen One”, foretold by Jedi prophecy, and the one who would bring balance to the Force. ). However, the Jedi Council, led by Master Yoda, felt that Anakin’s future was clouded by fear, though they were still reluctant to allow Qui-Gon Jinn’s student Obi- Wan Kenobi trains Anakin as a Jedi (after Qui-Gon is killed by the Sith Lord, Darth Maul).
At the same time, the planet Naboo is under attack, and its ruler, Queen Padme Amidala, needs to seek the support of the Jedi to repel the enemy. The current Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, secretly planned an attack. He used his identity in the Republic as Senator Palpatine to overthrow the Supreme Prime Minister of the Galactic Republic and take this position.
Senator Palpatine secretly created the Clone Wars to destroy the Republic alliance. Anakin Skywalker fought in the Clone Wars and met queen Padme Amidala, then Anakin and Padme fell in love and secretly got married, then Padme became pregnant.
Anakin had a dream about Padme’s death while giving birth. Senator Palpatine takes advantage of this to convince Anakin that the Darkside holds the power that can save Padme’s life. In a moment of desperation, Anakin surrendered to the Darkside and was named Darth Vader, serving Palpatine.
While Palpatine reorganized the Republic into the tyrannical Galactic Empire – he appointed himself Emperor and ordered Darth Vader/Anakin to destroy the Jedi order, culminating in a lightsaber duel between Anakin Skywalker and the monk. His sidekick is and Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan eventually defeated his student and most trusted person – Anakin Skywalker, also known as Darth Vader. Anakin’s limbs were cut off, Obi-Wan left because he thought Anakin would be burned to death by lava. However, Palpatine arrived in time and immediately saved Anakin. He brought him back for treatment and dressed Anakin in a black armor suit, from which Anakin officially became Darth Vader.

We have just finished summarizing the 3 parts 1,2,3, released in 1999, 2002, 2005 😀 very easy to understand, right? Now we go back to 1977, recapping the original trilogy.
After Obi-Wan cut off his hand and left it for dead and was saved by Palpatine, 19 years later, Darth Vader was about to complete the construction of the Death Star space station. The Death Star is a weapon the size of the Moon. , one shot of it can destroy an entire planet. This is the ultimate weapon for the Empire to crush the Rebel Alliance – the Rebel faction, formed to fight Palpatine’s tyranny.
Darth Vader captures Princess Leia Organa (unbeknownst to him that she is his and Padme’s daughter) for stealing the blueprints of the Death Star and hiding them in the droid R2-D2. Leia takes R2-D2 and escapes to the planet Tatooine with the robot C-3PO.

Tatooine is a planet with two suns. While here, these two robots meet Luke Skywalker (Princess Leia’s twin brother, son of Darth Vader) and Luke’s adoptive uncle and aunt. While Luke is cleaning R2-D2, he accidentally activates a message inserted into the robot by Leia. This message is asking Obi-Wan to come to her aid and rescue her from Darth Vader.

Luke helps robot R2-D2 find Jedi Knight Obi-Wan, who is currently a hermit codenamed Ben Kenobi. When Luke met Obi-Wan and asked about his father, Ben Kenobi told him that Anakin Skywalker was a great Jedi who was betrayed and killed by Darth Vader.

Three years later, Luke sought out Master Yoda and began his Jedi training, but was interrupted when Darth Vader lured him into a trap (by capturing Han Solo and the others). Darth Vader told Luke that he was Luke’s father and tried to lure him to the Darkside, but Luke later escaped.
After rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt’s gang, Luke returned to continue his training with Yoda, who was now old and on his deathbed. Before his death, Yoda confirmed that Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker – Luke and Leia’s father; Luke is also taken by the Force to meet Obi-Wan’s spirit, and is told that he must face his father before he can officially become a Jedi.
When the Rebels attack the Death Star (2nd edition), Luke confronts Darth Vader while Palpatine watches; both Sith Lords intend to convert Luke to the Dark Side. During the lightsaber duel between the two, Luke was overcome by anger and defeated Darth Vader, but Luke eventually regained control of himself and realized that he was about to suffer his father’s fate if he killed Vader.
Luke spares Darth Vader’s life and proudly declares his loyalty to the Jedi order and that he is a true Jedi. Palpatine was angry, he intended to kill Luke, but Vader promptly killed Palpatine to save his son Luke. Vader was seriously injured while fighting Palpatine. Darth Vader felt remorse and died in his son’s arms. Luke Skywalker became an official Jedi, and the rebels destroyed the second Death Star and destroyed the Empire after both Sith lords died. The End!
