GENERAL SYNOPSIS The three films, which pick up 19 years after the events of the Prequel Trilogy , appear to center around Luke Skywalker , a farmboy of the planet Tatooine. Luke, restless for adventure, joins the ragtag Rebel Alliance in its struggle to overthrow the evil Galactic Empire . He trains to become a Jedi Knight like his father, whom he believes to have been killed by the Dark Lord Of The Sith Darth Vader . He is profoundly shaken upon learning that his father is actually Darth Vader himself. Luke successfully resists the efforts of Vader and Emperor Palpatine to turn him to the dark side of The Force ; instead, he turns his father away from the dark side, while the Rebel fleet scores a decisive victory against the Empire to end the Galactic Civil War . When these three films of the Classic Trilogy are paired with the Prequel Trilogy, it is evident that Anakin Skywalker , Luke's father, is in fact the central character of the entire saga.
