THERE IS OVER 9000 HALO RINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I am a little confused. You all keep saying that Star Wars's Expanded Universe is massive but impossible to understand. Allow me to school you on why this saga is completely understandable.
Thousand of years before the Empire, there was a Sith army, fighting the Republic. This war originally looked like the Sith would win, until the Jedi countered and defeated all the Sith except one: Darth Bane. He continued the teachings of the Dark Side for thousands of years in a continuous cycle: master gets apprentice and teaches what he or she knows, then the apprentice kills the master and gets his own apprentice, and so on. In Episode 1, The Jedi find Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, and Senator Palpatine, the current master of the Sith, gains control of the Republic. Anakin is trained by Obi Wan Kenobi, and learns the way of the Force. Ten years later, the Clone Wars begin, and the Republic fight the CIS, or Separtists and their army of Battle Droids, who believe that the Republic is corrupt. Yet Palpatine started the war. He persuades Anakin to join the Dark Side and become his pupil, thus ending the Clone Wars. Palpatine turns the Republic into the Empire, and begins a reign of evil, with Darth Vader at his side. Ends up, Anakin had a son, Luke, who was brought up by Anakin's stepbrother, Owen. Luke dreams of becoming a pilot, but he remains on the world of Tatooine. When the Empire murders Owen and his wife, Luke has no choice but to go with Obi Wan to help Princess Leia, who has been captured by Vader. Luke rescues the princess, and helps with the attack on the Empire's super weapon: the Death Star. Luke destroys the Death Star, and Vader learns that Luke is becoming a Jedi, so he begins a mad hunt to find him. Luke later learns that Vader is his father and Leia is his sister, and that Yoda, an old master from the Republic and expert Jedi, knew of this from the start. Then, Luke learns of another Death Star, and he is captured by Vader and is brought to Emperor Palpatine, who is trying to convince Luke to join the Dark Side. But he instead convinces Vader to rejoin the Light Side and kill the Emperor. The rebellion turns to the New Republic, and all later installments in the saga tell of the New Republic's struggle to remain in control against those who remain loyal to the Empire and other threats like the Hapans.
