The Star-Wars-Saga

Star Wars is a science fiction saga conceived by screenwriter, producer and director George Lucas. The first film, originally titled Star Wars, was released in American theaters on May 25, 1977 and in German theaters on February 10, 1978. The film evolved into a phenomenon in today's pop culture. From the success of the film sprang, in addition to other feature films, a wide-ranging collection of books, comic books, video games, television series and much more.

The term Star Wars refers on the one hand to the original film title of the first released Star Wars movie in 1977 and on the other hand to all licensed merchandising products released by Lucasfilm and their cooperation partners during the thirty-year success story of Star Wars. According to a September 30, 2010 report in Forbes Magazine, the total amount generated by Star Wars films and merchandising is over $24.5 billion. This makes Star Wars the most successful film project of all time, both financially and commercially.

In essence, Star Wars is about the ongoing battle between good and evil, set against the backdrop of a galaxy far, far away in a time long past. Star Wars itself sees itself as a mixture of several film genres with archetypal and mythological motifs, presented as a modern vision of a fairy tale or space opera.
