The Original trilogy (often abbreviated OT by fans), also known as The Star Wars Trilogy, is a term used to describe the first three films released in the Star Wars saga. It is also sometimes referred to as the Classic Trilogy. Original Trilogy is also sometimes used to describe the original versions of first three Star Wars films released as opposed to the versions released on theaters in 1997 or on DVD in 2004 with some changes made. Plot summary
The three films, which pick up 19 years after the events of the prequel trilogy, center on Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker. Restless for adventure, Luke joins the ragtag Rebel Alliance in its struggle to overthrow the evil Empire. He trains to become a Jedi like his father, whom he believes was killed by Darth Vader, and is profoundly shaken upon learning that his father is actually Darth Vader himself. Luke successfully resists the efforts of Vader and the Emperor to turn him to the dark side of the Force; instead, he turns his father back to the light side while the Rebel Alliance fleet scores a decisive victory to end the war.
