From farm boy to Red 5.
40 years ago Star Wars: A New Hope took us all on a journey alongside Luke Skywalker and his friends as they made a daring rescue to save a princess and the galaxy. Young Luke Skywalker joins the rebellion as a pilot on their mission to destroy the ominous and deadly Death Star. Luke exhibits his father’s natural prowess as a pilot and uses the Force to save the day.
