More recently, it was hard to believe that the white-haired mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi was once a mute young man, and the Emperor Palpatine, who fluttered the Galaxy, was only an ambitious senator. And it is absolutely impossible to imagine the sinister Darth Vader as a little boy who lives in slavery on Tatooine, and dreams of distant stars at night. We get to the very time when the Jedi Knights still keep peace and tranquility in the Galaxy. But the dark force, ready to absorb the planets and peoples, has already awakened, and only the ancient prophecy of the Jedi about the chosen one, which will bring balance to the Force, gives hope in the run-up to the catastrophe. A hidden threat hangs over the Republic, which has stood not one thousand years, but now is mired in political disagreements and intrigues. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi come to the aid of Queen Amidala, who seeks to save the planet Naboo from the blockade of the greedy Trade Federation. Escape from Naboo leads the Jedi to the sandy expanses of Tatooine, where they are destined to meet with Anakin Skywalker. Here begins a story that will later become a legend.
