The Star Wars saga is built around the original movie trilogy, which is why we recommend starting there. First up is "Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope," which centers on a young man named Luke Skywalker who lives on the desert planet of Tatooine with his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. He lives a quiet life on his family's moisture farm until he encounters two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, who are searching for a long-lost Jedi Master named Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke finds Obi-Wan and learns that Princess Leia is in trouble, so they team up with Han Solo and Chewbacca to rescue her from Darth Vader.
While this movie is chronologically the fourth film in the Skywalker Saga, it's a good starting point for new fans, since it introduces us to all things Star Wars, including concepts like the Jedi, the Force, the Rebel Alliance, and the Galactic Empire.
