| Coin Story In this epic sequel to the 1977 Star Wars movie, the Imperial forces continue to pursue the Rebels. After the Rebellion's defeat on the ice planet Hoth, Luke Skywalker journeys to the planet Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda, who has lived in hiding since the fall of the Republic. In an attempt to convert Luke to the dark side, Darth Vader lures him into a trap. In the midst of a fierce lightsaber duel with the Sith Lord, Luke learns that the evil Vader is in fact his father, Anakin Skywalker, when he utters the now famous line "No, I am your father". Star Wars was nominated for 10 Oscars in 1978, and received seven. It remains an enduring story to this day – most likely due to its affiliation with multiple genres: science fiction, fantasy, action, romance and drama. This coin makes it an ideal gift for any Star Wars fan or coin collector. | |
