Overview

Star Wars is an epic space opera franchise created by George Lucas, beginning with the 1977 film Star Wars (later subtitled Episode IV – A New Hope). The saga spans films, television series, novels, comics, and games set in a galaxy far, far away.

The nine-film Skywalker saga follows the rise, fall, and redemption of the Skywalker family across three trilogies.

Prequel trilogy

  • Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999)
  • Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002)
  • Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Original trilogy

  • Episode IV – A New Hope (1977)

Sequel trilogy

  • Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015)
  • Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017)

Key factions

  • The Jedi Order — peacekeepers who wield the light side of the Force.
  • The Sith — practitioners of the dark side, sworn enemies of the Jedi.
  • The Galactic Empire — authoritarian regime led by Emperor Palpatine.
  • The Rebel Alliance — resistance fighting to restore the Republic.
  • The First Order — successor to the Empire in the sequel era.

The Force

The Force is an energy field created by all living things that binds the galaxy together. Force-sensitive individuals can use it to perform feats such as telekinesis, mind influence, and precognition.
