In a galaxy far, far away…
When filmmaker George Lucas set out to make the first Star Wars film, he might not have thought he was sowing the seeds for one of the biggest franchises in history. The first film, “Episode IV: A New Hope,” started showing in cinemas in 1977 and was followed three years later by “Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.”
Rounding out the original trilogy, “Episode VI: Return of the Jedi” was released in 1983, but fans hoping for more material (and, in theory, the prequel trilogy) had to wait 16 years for “Episode I: The Phantom Menace.” While the original trilogy is highly regarded with a massive fan base, the prequel films have been a bit hit and miss.
The franchise received an enormous financial injection when Disney took over the rights in 2012, setting the path for more films, TV shows and mountains of merchandise. Under Disney’s wing, the characters were expanded while new ones got introduced through a sequel trilogy, building on the original lore of Lucas’ first films.
But since Disney is hugely invested in TV shows too, it commissioned the hugely successful, and critically acclaimed, “The Mandalorian.” Other TV productions include “The Book of Boba Fett,” “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and a spin-off from the “Rogue One” film, “Andor.”
