![]() Imperial stormtroopers murder Luke’s aunt and uncle while searching for R2-D2, and Luke and Obi-Wan hire Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) to transport them to Leia’s home of Alderaan. Read More: Rogue One Rewinds-and Rewrites-the Star Wars Legacy Episode IV: A New Hope 0 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin) Princess Leia gets ahold of the Death Star plans and escapes Vader. Vader boards the Rebel command ship and kills dozens of rebel troops in arguably his most epic fight scene in any of the movies. ![]() The two die holding each other as the Death Star destroys the beach of Scarif-seemingly wrapping up their story…until Disney+ announced a prequel TV series called Andor. One by one, each of the Rogue One crew dies, but not before Cassian and Jyn are able to complete the transmission of the plans to the Rebel Alliance. Jyn and Cassian defy orders and lead a small group who dub themselves Rogue One to the planet Scarif to take the schematics. (See: The “parent dying in child’s arms” motif.) Jyn lobbies the Rebel Alliance to steal the Death Star schematics, but the rebels have given up on victory. Jyn and Cassian find Galen at an Empire facility about to be destroyed by the rebels, and Galen dies in Jyn’s arms. The message reveals that Galen has built a vulnerability in the Death Star and somehow nobody in the Empire noticed. Obi-Wan and Yoda hide the birth of the twins from Vader and separate them, sending Leia with Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) to his home world of Alderaan, and Luke with his step-uncle Owen to Tatooine. Palpatine tells Vader that Padme is dead, and Vader yells, “Noooooooooo” in an extremely meme-able manner. A medical droid tells Obi-Wan she was physically fine but died of a broken heart, which…sure. Padme gives birth to twins named Luke and Leia and dies soon after. Palpatine rescues Vader and sticks him in the iconic Vader suit. The rest of Vader’s body then catches on fire. But Vader tries to jump over Obi-Wan anyway, and Obi-Wan cuts off both of Vader’s legs and his one remaining non-mechanical arm. Obi-Wan gets the high ground and warns Vader not to try to fight him. Obi-Wan and Vader duel in what’s basically an active volcano. Vader at this point turns into a jealous maniac and assumes that Obi-Wan and Padme are having an affair. Obi-Wan tells Padme that her husband is a child murderer. Darth Vader, no stranger to mass murder at this point, kills a bunch of doe-eyed children training to be Jedi. Palpatine issues Order 66, commanding his clone army to kill all the Jedi.
