Star Wars: The Original Radio Drama - Season 1 (1981)

Having escaped the evil clutches of Darth Vader, and with a mission to deliver stolen plans to an Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO and R2-D2 make their way across the dune seas of Tatooine, with the Empire in close pursuit.

Luke Skywalker and C-3PO hunt for the lost R2-D2, facing off against natives of the planet and gaining a mysterious new ally, Ben Kenobi. Luke learns more about his past, and through this, his future.

Luke agrees to help Ben get to Alderaan, but neither have a way off the desert planet of Tatooine. In search of a ship (and pursued by the Empire), the two look for help from notorious smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee partner, Chewbacca.

Luke and Ben attempt to sell Luke's speeder for money to pay for their trip while Han deals with money issues himself. The Empire chases the group, now closer than ever to catching them before they are able to leave with the stolen plans.

Now in the custody of the Empire, Leia Organa is interrogated by a furious Darth Vader. His superior, Grand Moff Tarkin has other plans than mere torture for the princess and her rebellion.

Back on the Millenium Falcon, Han Solo's ship, Ben teaches Luke about the Force and the mystic Jedi Order, to which Han has other opinions. A major discovery lends to a change in plans, now with the Empire back on their trail.

Now docked in a hangar bay of the Death Star, the Empire's secret battle station, the group must find a way of escape and come up with a new plan now that Alderaan is no more.

Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca all plot a daring escape from the Death Star, assisted by their droid companions C-3PO and R2-D2. Ben Kenobi, separated from the group, has a climactic showdown with his former apprentice, Darth Vader.

Escaping from the Death Star, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and the droids all make their way to the rebel base on Yavin IV, seeking refuge; the Empire has other plans.

A race against time. A daring trench run. A showdown between hero and villain. This final chapter tests our heroes' might, character, and resolve.
