Star Wars (Night of the Living Alternate History Map Game)

Star Wars: Episode IV is a film currently in development by Universal Studios. It will be directed by Steven Spielberg.

Background
In the movie's universe, the galaxy was governed justly by the Galactic Republic for 50,000 years. During the Outer Rim War, where the Reublic fought rebel forces (the Confederacy of Independent Systems), an unnamed Jedi (a group of Force-using warriors) general in the Republic military went to the dark side of the Force and became Darth Vader. His troops seized TV and other media on the capital world of Coruscant. On galactic TV, he declared that Republic President Asten was a Confederate agent and ordered his arrest. He assumed "emergency powers" and dissolved the Senate. However, his very pregnant wife (they were married less than two weeks beforehand) suceeded in escaping Coruscant with a group of anti-Vader senators and military troops, but not before a security soldier shot her with a dart containing a deadly biological weapon. She was whisked away to the distant planet of Echo Seven, where a number of anti-Vader military vessels had taken refuge. Here, she gave birth to Luke and Leia Skywalker. She succumbed to the bio-agent just moments later.

Meanwhile, Vader declared the Galactic Empire and named his mentor, an ex-general named Ruvaan Palapatine, Emperor, and named himself the Emperor's Agent.
