May the 4th be with you
Star Wars Day is May 4 (May the 4th be with you), so celebrate with a few Star Wars memories.
Luke Skywalker
Mark Hamill played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films.
'Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace' (1999)
Obi-Wan Kenobi is a young apprentice Jedi knight under the tutelage of Qui-Gon Jinn; Anakin Skywalker, who will later father Luke Skywalker and become known as Darth Vader, is just a nine-year-old boy.
'Star Wars: Episode II — Attack Of The Clones' (2002)
Now 20, young Anakin Skywalker is an apprentice to respected Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. Unusually powerful in the Force, Anakin is also impatient, arrogant, and headstrong -- causing his mentor a great deal of concern.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Though the trilogy of films that served as prequels to “Star Wars: Episode IV” generated ire from fans and critics alike, there’s a lot to enjoy in “Revenge of the Sith,” in which Anakin Skywalker must choose between the light side of the Jedi and the dark power of the Sith.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
Many fans found inconvenient truths (without revealing spoilers) at the end of “Star Wars: Episode IV.” 39 years later, “Rogue One,” which takes place right before “Episode IV,” sets the stage for that famous climax, explaining the story behind how the heroic band of rebels was able to strike a decisive blow against the Empire.
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
Hollywood's endless space opera began in 1977 with this game-changing film from George Lucas, in which a young man named Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) joins the rebels in their fight against Darth Vader and the Imperial Forces.
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
After seeing their precious Death Star destroyed, Darth Vader and the Imperialist Forces go on the hunt for Luke Skywalker and his rebel brethren. Meanwhile, Luke pays a visit to an ancient Jedi knight named Yoda, who helps him unlock the secrets of the Force.
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
The original “Star Wars” trilogy will always be remembered for bringing blockbusters to Hollywood, with all their action, adventure, and exorbitant budgets. The third entry, “Return of the Jedi,” is generally considered by fans and critics to be the worst of the three, though it’s no less-beloved than the first two. The Rebels, beaten time and time again, finally take their stand against the Empire, as allegiances are tested and secrets are revealed.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
A desert scavenger and an ex-storm trooper join forces with Chewbacca and Han Solo when the galaxy is threatened.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Rey trains under Luke Skywalker to develop her newfound abilities while the Resistance and the First Order prepare for an epic battle.
