Overview

Star Wars is an epic space opera franchise created by George Lucas. It began with the 1977 film Star Wars (later subtitled A New Hope) and has since grown into a sprawling multimedia universe spanning films, television, books, comics, and games.

The Skywalker Saga

The main film series follows the Skywalker family across three trilogies:
  • Original trilogy (1977–1983): A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi
  • Prequel trilogy (1999–2005): The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith
  • Sequel trilogy (2015–2019): The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker

The Force

The Force is a metaphysical energy field that binds the galaxy together. Practitioners fall into two main traditions:
  • Jedi — guardians of peace who draw on the light side
  • Sith — adversaries who channel the dark side through passion and power
