A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Princess Leia is captured and held hostage by the evil Imperial forces in their effort to take over the galactic Empire.

Review
Star Wars
There are so many fun choices in the original film that I appreciate. Story elements and characters aside, deciding not to subtitle droids was brilliant.
