But while Vader is rising to power working for the Empire, Obi-Wan Kenobi is keeping in touch with Anakin Skywalker's wife. Little did Vader know that his old life as Anakin Skywalker has given him two children. Children that Obi-Wan separates and hides from the Empire's view. Vader's children will be as strong in the Force as their father - and will be handy allies for the growing Rebellion. Vader's daughter, Leia, is adopted by the royal family of Alderaan. Vader's son, Luke, is raised by Obi-Wan's brother, Owen Lars, on the desert planet Tatooine. And so things remain, until one fateful day when a message in an R2 unit leads Luke Skywalker to an old man named Kenobi...and his destiny.
