'''''Star Wars''''' is a film and media franchise created by {{w|George Lucas}} and produced his company Lucasfilm. It begun with 1977's ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope'', which was released to critical and commercial acclaim and is now considered to be one of the best movies of all-time. The popularity of the first installment lead to two more sequels, 1980's ''Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back'', and 1983's ''Episode VI: Return of the Jedi''. The franchise is now a cultural icon, and has spawned legions of parodies, and book and television companions, as well as a prequel trilogy, consisting of 1999's ''Episode I: The Phantom Menace'', 2002's ''Episode II: Attack of the Clones'', and 2005's ''Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'', and a sequel trilogy, made up of 2015's ''Episode VII: The Force Awakens'', 2017's ''Episode VIII: The Last Jedi'', and 2019's ''Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker'', as well as a handful of spin-off films and television projects like 2016's ''Rogue One'', 2018's ''Solo'', and 2019's ''The Mandalorian''.
