From the Paper:

"It is clear that this film is indeed the fourth episode, leaving out a large sum of information, and the viewer is left to piece together a great deal. One of the many back story elements is the issue of Luke Skywalker's mysterious father, who according to his mentor, Ben Kenobi, was "betrayed and murdered" by the equally mysterious Darth Vader.
The storyline takes place after a lengthy series of political events, such as the fall of a Republic, the rise of an Empire, and the beginning of a Rebellion. This all begins with the destruction of the galaxy's Jedi Knights during a battle called "the Clone Wars"."
