Star Wars is an
American epic space-opera media franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon. The
franchise has been expanded into various films and other media,
including television
series, video games, novels, comic books, theme park
attractions, and themed areas, comprising
an all-encompassing fictional universe. The
franchise holds a Guinness World Records title
for the "Most successful film merchandising franchise." In 2020,
the Star Wars franchise's total value was estimated
at US$70 billion, and it is currently the fifth-highest-grossing
media franchise of all time. The original film, retroactively
subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope,
was followed by the sequels Episode V: The Empire
Strikes Back (1980) and Episode VI: Return of the
Jedi (1983), forming the original Star Wars trilogy. A prequel trilogy was
later released, consisting of Episode I: The Phantom
Menace (1999), Episode II: Attack of the
Clones (2002), and Episode III: Revenge of
the Sith (2005). In 2012, Lucas sold his production company to Disney, relinquishing his
ownership of the franchise. The subsequently produced sequel trilogy consists
of Episode VII: The Force
Awakens (2015), Episode VIII: The Last
Jedi (2017), and Episode IX: The Rise of
Skywalker (2019). Together, the three trilogies form what
has been referred to as the "Skywalker saga". All nine films were nominated for Academy Awards (with wins going to the first two
released) and were commercially successful. Together with the theatrical spin-off films Rogue One (2016) and Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018),
the combined box office revenue of the films equates to
over US$10 billion, and it is currently the second-highest-grossing
film franchise.
