Luke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle-station while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the evil Darth Vader.
Lucas has stated dictators throughout history, Greek mythology, and the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, all influenced him to create the story line, the characters and themes.
C-3PO:
Did you hear that? They shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness.
When Luke tries to put the handcuffs on Chewie in the Death Star control room, you can see two holes in Chewie's mouth that let Peter Mayhew breathe through the costume.
To compensate for the new special edition credits inserted in versions 1997 and beyond, a longer instrumental suite plays during the credits roll, integrating various themes from throughout the film.
