Star Wars Episode 1 travels back to the beginning of the Star Wars saga, a generation before Luke Skywalker meets Ben Kenobi and sets out on his path to destiny. In this era Luke Skywalkers father, Anakin, is nine years old, and the great free replubic still stands, although it's power is starting to falter. In George Lucas's prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy of episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strike Back and Episode VI : Return Of The Jedi, we see a struggle between the ruling body, the Galctic Republic and The Trade Federation, a powerful organisation of merchants. The trade federation decides to take action against taxation of trade routes and blockaded the small, watery world of Naboo, allowing no outside contact. In order to end this the Galactic Republic decide to send two Jedi Knights, a powerful people who have great mental abilities.

 


 

Autographs


I recemtly attended a memorabilia fair in Glasgow and was luckily enough to obtain the autograph of none other than Star Wars' own R2-D2, alias Kenny Baker and personally meet Jerome Blake, alias Neimoidian, Rune Haako from Episode 1. At this fair I also met Richard LeParmentier who played Admiral Motti in the Original Star Wars. I have shown the Episode 1 autographs below for your viewing pleasure.
