Stars Wars was created by icon George Lucas as an American epic space opera media franchise which began with ‘A New Hope’ film in 1977. Quickly after its release, the franchise became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon, expanding 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. As of 2021, the Star Wars franchise’s gross total value was estimated at US$70 billion, and it is currently the fifth-highest-grossing media franchise of all time.
