Star Wars

Star Wars - Possibly the best Science Fiction series ever made, a literary franchise, and a series of video games based on the ideas of filmmaker George Lucas. The original trilogy is about the Galactic Civil War, in which the ragtag Rebel Alliance battles the Galactic Empire in an epic struggle between good and evil. The prequel trilogy portray the events leading to the Galactic Civil War, with the fall of the Galactic Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire, from the Battle of Naboo between Naboo and the Trade Federation through the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The story is set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. This phrase, which also appears at the opening of all six films and many Star Wars spin-offs, has become a part of American pop culture. The original idea for Star Wars was conceived in the early 1970s and went through many revisions, providing plenty of material for the films. The original Star Wars movie was first released in 1977 but the novelization was released a year before, in 1976. Since then the Star Wars story has been presented in a series of American movies, which have spawned dozens of books. The Star Wars mythos is also the basis of many toys and games. Since 1983, over 120 video games have been published bearing the name of Star Wars, beginning with 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back' published for the Atari 2600 by Parker Brothers. The Star Wars films show considerable similarity to Asian Wuxia "Kung Fu" films, as well as Roman mythology. Star Wars is an outstanding example of the space opera sub-genre of science fiction. Few listing of Star Wars movies include "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (25 May 1977), Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (21 May 1980), Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (25 May 1983), Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (19 May 1999), Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (16 May 2002)" and the most recent yet to release is Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
