He soon learns the ways of the force, and accompanied by brilliant pilot Han Solo, the trio set out to save Princess Leia from the deadly hands of the Sith lord, Darth Vader, who is keeping her there in need of crucial information regarding the rebels they are trying to destroy. Along their journey, Luke learns about the force and learns to be a responsible Jedi under the guidance of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
