Summary.
 Argument

Star Wars is one of the best rated sci-fi series in all of America. With unforgettable
characters, unique weapons and aircraft, Star Wars has shaped how all outer-planetary sci-fi
movies and shows are made today. Not only the special effects, acting, characters, but mostly the
story itself has caught the attention of millions of people.Focusing on the dynamic character
Luke Skywalker and enhancing the classic theme of the battle of good and evil, George Lucas
created an universe where lustrous landscapes, fantasy, heroic stories, romance and aspects taken
from mythology mix together.

One of the main reason why I chose Star Wars as the topic of my paper is that this movie
is different in many respects.While other movies are centered on the life of an unique
community, Star Wars explores an entire galaxy filled with many characters that hide their own
story. Every city or every planet has its own culture and the characters have their own ambitions
and shortcomings just like in real life.

Also, this movie is not just a battle between the bad forces and the good ones where good
always wins.Sometimes the bad characters win and this make the fans want another episode to
release because its in our nature to hope that good will finally defeat bad. Star Wars taught me
that in spite of the differences between us, we all crave to live in a peaceful place.The only things
that hinder this desire are our ambitions and others ambitions.
 The beginning of a new world
Star Wars, an American epic space opera franchise depicts the adventures of various
characters "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away".

The franchise began in 1977 with the release of the film Star Wars (later subtitled Episode
IV: A New Hope in 1981) which became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. It was followed by
the successful sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi(1983); these three
films constitute the original Star Wars trilogy. A prequel trilogy was released between 1999 and
2005, which received mixed reactions from both critics and fans. A sequel trilogy began in 2015 with
the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. All seven films were nominated for Academy
Awards (with wins going to the first two films) and have been commercial successes, with a
combined box office revenue of over US$7.5 billion, making Star Wars the third highest-grossing film
series. Spin-off films include the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) and Rogue
One (2016), the latter of which is the first in a planned series of anthology films.

The series has spawned an extensive media franchise including books, television
series, computer and video games, and comic books, all of which take place within the
same continuity as the films, resulting in significant development of the series's fictional universe,
with the non-canonical works falling under the defunct Star Wars Legends label. Star Wars also
holds a Guinness World Records title for the "Most successful film merchandising franchise. In 2015,
the total value of the Star Wars franchise was estimated at US$42 billion, making Star Wars the
second highest-grossing media franchise of all time.

In 2012, The Walt Disney Company bought Lucasfilm for US$4.06 billion and earned the
distribution rights to all subsequent Star Wars films, beginning with the release of The Force
Awakens in 2015.[8] The former distributor, 20th Century Fox, retains the physical distribution rights
for the first two Star Wars trilogies, owns permanent rights for the original 1977 film and continues to
hold the rights for the prequel trilogy and the first two sequels to A New Hope until May 2020. Walt
Disney Studios owns digital distribution rights to all the Star Wars films, excluding A New Hope.
 We are all part of the galaxy
The setting

The Star Wars franchise takes place in a distant unnamed fictional galaxy at an
undetermined point in the ancient past, where many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist.
People own robotic droids, who assist them in their daily routines, and Space travel is common.

Additionally one of the most recognizable and spiritual elements of the Star Wars galaxy, is known
as "The Force". Described in the original film, as "an energy field created by all living things [that]
surrounds us, penetrates us, [and] binds the galaxy together".[12] The people who are born deeply
connected to the Force, have better reflexes; and through training and meditation are able to
achieve, various supernatural feats (such as telekinesis, clairvoyance, precognition, and mind
control). The Force is wielded by two major factions; the Jedi and the Sith. The Jedi Order harness
the light side of the Force, entirely devoted to their duty, as guardians and peacekeepers, forbid
attachments such as marriage. In contrast, the Sith always only two a master and an apprentice, use
the dark side of the force through hate and aggression, to further their goals of controlling the galaxy
for themselves and destroying the Jedi Order. The Knights of Ren replace the Sith, in the sequel
trilogy, and one Jedi remains.

In the prequel trilogy, the government is depicted in the form of all planets being part of
a Galactic Republic were each planet has its own individual government, and is represented by its
own senator at the capital city-planet of Coruscant. However the Galaxy enters in conflict when
some planets, known as the Separatists, decide they no longer want to be part of the Republic. The
Jedi along with a Clone army support the Republic, while the Sith along with a droid army support
the Separatists, this conflict is known as The Clone Wars and ends with the government turning into
a Galactic Empire ruled by the Emperor (secretly a Sith), and the Jedi all but extinct to restore
peace. Set twenty years later, the original trilogy focuses on the Rebel Alliance as the only one who
opposes the Empire. By the time of the sequel trilogy, thirty years after the Rebels restored the
galaxy into a New Republic, peace is disrupted by the First Order (aided by the Knights of Ren).
 The Galactic Empire has constructed the Death Star, a space station with the power to
destroy entire planets. Emperor Palpatine intends to use this deadly weapon to enforce his control
over the galaxy and crush the Rebel Alliance, an organized resistance movement. Near the orbit of
the desert planet Tatooine, a Rebel spaceship is intercepted by the Empire. Aboard, the Emperor's
deadliest agent Darth Vader and his stormtroopers capturePrincess Leia Organa, secretly a rebel.
Before her capture, Leia makes sure the astromech R2-D2, along with the protocol droid C-3PO,
escapes with stolen Death Star blueprints stored inside and a holographic message for the retired
Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has been living in exile on Tatooine. The droids fall under the
ownership of Luke Skywalker, an orphan farm boy raised by his step-uncle and aunt. Luke helps the
droids locate Obi-Wan, now a solitary old hermit known as Ben Kenobi, who reveals himself as a
friend of Luke's absent father, the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan confides to Luke that
Anakin was "betrayed and murdered" by Vader (who was Obi-Wan's former Jedi apprentice) years
ago, and he gives Luke his father's former lightsaber to keep.[27] After viewing Leia's message, they
both hire the smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee co-pilotChewbacca to, aboard their space
freighter the Millennium Falcon, smuggle them along with the droids off Tatooine; in order to deliver
the Death Star's blueprints to the rebellion and help them find a way to destroy the deadly space
station.[12]

For The Star Wars second draft, Lucas made heavy simplifications. It added a mystical
energy field known as "The Force" and introduced the young hero on a farm as Luke Starkiller.
Annikin became Luke's father, a wise Jedi knight. The third draft killed the father Annikin, replacing
him with mentor figure Ben Kenobi. Later, Lucas felt the film would not in fact be the first in the
sequence, but a film in the second trilogy in the saga. The draft contained a sub-plot leading to a
sequel about "The Princess of Ondos", and by that time some months later Lucas had negotiated a
contract that gave him rights to make two sequels. Not long after, Lucas hired author Alan Dean
Foster, to write two sequels as novels.[28] In 1976, a fourth draft had been prepared for principal
photography. The film was titled Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as taken from the Journal of the
Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars. During production, Lucas changed Luke's name to Skywalker and
altered the title to simply The Star Wars and finally Star Wars.[29] At that point, Lucas was not
expecting the film to have sequels. The fourth draft of the script underwent subtle changes it
discarded "the Princess of Ondos" sub-plot, to become a self-contained film, that ended with the
destruction of the Galactic Empire itself by way of destroying the Death Star. However, Lucas
previously conceived of the film as the first of a series. The intention was that if Star Wars was
successful, Lucas could adapt Dean Foster's novels into low-budget sequels.[30] By that point, Lucas
had developed an elaborate backstory to aid his writing process.[31]

Before its release, Lucas considered walking away from Star Wars sequels, thinking the film
would be a flop. However the film exceeded all expectations. The success of the film, as well as its
merchandise sales, and Lucas desire to create an independent film-making center. Both led Lucas
to make Star Wars the basis of an elaborate film serial,[32] and use the profits to finance his film-
making center, Skywalker Ranch.[33] Alan Dean Foster was already writing the first sequel-
novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye, released in 1978. But Lucas decided not to adapt Foster's work.
Knowing a sequel, would be allowed more budget. At first, Lucas envisioned a series of films with no
set number of entries, like the James Bond series. In an interview with Rolling Stone in August 1977,
he said that he wanted his friends to each take a turn at directing the films and giving unique
interpretations on the series. Also adding that the backstory in which Darth Vader turns to the dark
side, kills Luke's father and fights Obi-Wan Kenobi on a volcano as the Galactic Republic falls would
make an excellent sequel.
