George Lucas developed Star Wars as a space opera series of a fictional universe in the 1970s. The first film in the series was released by 20th Century Fox in the year 1977. Originally it was planned to release as a single but Lucas changed his mind and wanted to have more movies as a series. So it was decided that they would change the original movie as a fourth part in the series and develop the story ahead. After the three parts of sequel trilogy - Star Wars 4, 5, and 6 Lucas made the prequel trilogy Star Wars 1, 2, and 3.The original name of the star wars was then changed to Star Wars IV: A New Hope. It had two sequels ‘V - The Empire strikes back’ and ‘VI - Return of the Jedi’. 22 years after the release of the first film they came up with a prequel trilogy with the films named I – The Phantom Menace, II – Attack of the clones, III – Revenge of the Sith.Then others writers followed the trend and made films and TV serials based on star wars. Books, comics, games, etc too got inspired from Star Wars. The huge revenue collected by the Star Wars franchise is second only to that of the Harry Potter franchise. Each star wars movie begins with a similar opening text giving the details of the movie. Characters in Star Wars resembled humans but unlike many films set in alien space where the settings were kept clean and tidy; star wars intently chose grimy and dirty locations. The plot revolves around the story of the life of a boy ‘Anakin Skywalker’.Plot of Star Wars Movies.Prequel trilogy (Episodes I, II, III): The plot begins with the fall of Old Republic empire and the Jedi order by Sith lord Sidious.
