"Star Wars" is a highly popular and influential science fiction franchise created by George Lucas. It began with the release of the first film, "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope," in 1977, which was later retitled as simply "Star Wars."
The original "Star Wars" trilogy consists of three films:
1. "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (1977): The film introduces audiences to a galaxy far, far away, where an epic battle between the Rebel Alliance and the evil Galactic Empire takes place. The story follows Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, and Han Solo as they attempt to defeat the Empire and restore peace to the galaxy.
2. "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" (1980): This sequel continues the story as the Rebel Alliance faces further challenges and setbacks at the hands of the Empire. Luke Skywalker trains to become a Jedi under the guidance of Yoda, while Darth Vader becomes an even more formidable adversary.
3. "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi" (1983): The final chapter of the original trilogy sees the Rebel Alliance launch a daring mission to destroy the Empire's new Death Star. The film culminates in an ultimate showdown between Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Emperor Palpatine.
The success of the original trilogy led to the creation of prequel films, released between 1999 and 2005, which depict events that precede the original trilogy in the Star Wars timeline. There is also a sequel trilogy, released between 2015 and 2019, which continues the story of the original characters while introducing new ones.
