So, you are totally new to the Star Wars Saga and would like to know more. The best way to do this is by talking with people who have already spent countless hours enjoying the films. The next best way is by checking out the Official Star Wars Website. Finally, I'll post a few choice pieces of information here for you to peruse as you will. I'm not going to put them in any specific order, they'll just be placed here as my data processors produce them. Feel free to e-mail me if there are things that you are certain that I have left out. ~MR-MNY.

There are six movies in the Star Wars Saga:
Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars - Episode II: The Attack of the Clones
Star Wars - Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith
Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope
Star Wars - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars - Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi

The first films to be released were episodes IV - VI. They are known as the original trilogy to most. The basic idea is that you have The Evil Galactic Empire who likes to bend the will of all to their own vs. The Rebel Alliance who are fighting to restore freedom to the galaxy.

The key players in the original trilogy are Luke Skywalker, a farmboy who grew up on the remote desert world of Tatooine; Princess Leia Organa, a noble of Alderaan who helps to lead the Alliance; Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight; and Han Solo, a rogue smuggler and pilot.

The new trilogy (Episodes I-III) tell the tale of the Empire's roots and how all of this madness came to be. The key players here are Obi-Wan Kenobi, still a Jedi Knight who trains Anakin Skywalker; Anakin Skywalker, a young padawan who struggles to understand the dangers of the Force; Padme Amidala, Queen of Naboo, senator, and good friend of Anakin; and Chancellor Palpatine, a senator from Naboo who strives to increase his own power.

The Force is a mystical energy field. It is part of all living things. It can be used to control the thoughts of others, to move objects, along with a host of other things.

A lightsaber is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. They are essentially sword hilts that emit a laser-esque blade.

This should be enough to get you started. I'll do more later.
