In another time, in a faraway galaxy, there lived a young man named Luke Skywalker. He was a student at the New Academy for Space Pilots, and already he was one of the best young pilots in the solar system.

Luke and his classmates, the Planetary
Pioneers, were training for a special mission. They were going to fly
young men and women—the smartest and strongest and most talented—to
uninhabited planets. There they would help build new colonies, founded
on peace, justice, and good will toward their fellow members of the
galaxy.

One morning Luke raced toward the Academy at breakneck speed.
His good friend Princess Leia Organa was coming to visit the Academy.
Luke wanted to be there when she arrived so he could show her some of
the Pioneers' exciting plans.
