STAR WARS


Star Wars is a six films science fiction saga created by George Lucas. They made at first three films: episodes IV, V and VI. Some years later they made three prequels: episodes I, II and III. Later they made a film called "The Clone Wars" and then a TV program with the same name. Star Wars appeared in 1977.

The events depicted in Star Wars media take place in a fictional galaxy. Many species of Alien creatures (often humanoid) are depicted. Robotic droids are also commonplace and are generally built to serve their owners. Space travel is common, and many planets in the galaxy are members of a Galactic Republic, later reorganized as the Galactic Empire.

One of the prominent elements of Star Wars is the "Force", an omnipresent energy that can be harnessed by those with that ability. It is described in the first produced film as "an energy field created by all living things [that] surrounds us, penetrates us, [and] binds the galaxy together." The Force allows users to perform a variety of supernatural feats (such as telekinesis, clairvoyance, precognition, and mind control) and also can amplify certain physical traits, such as speed and reflexes; these abilities vary between characters and can be improved through training.

While the Force can be used for good, it has a dark side that, when pursued, imbues users with hatred, aggression, and malevolence. The six films feature the Jedi, who use the Force for good, and the Sith, who use the dark side for evil in an attempt to take over the galaxy.

The films are:
  1. The Phantom Menace
  2. The Attack of the Clones
  3. The Revenge of the Sith
  4. A New Hope
  5. The Empire Strikes Back
  6. The Return of the Jedi
