Star Wars is an epic space opera franchise conceived by George Lucas. The film was originally released on May 25, 1977 by 20th Century Fox, and became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, spawning two immediate sequels, released at three-year intervals. As of 2008, the overall box office revenue generated by the six Star Wars films has totaled approx. $4.3 billion, making it the third highest grossing film series, behind James bond and Harry Potter films.
The Star Wars film series has spawned other media including books, television series, video games, and comic books. These supplements to film trilogies comprise the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and have resulted in significant development of the series' fictional universe
The setting of the events dipicted in Star Wars media take place in a fictional galaxy. Many species of alien creatures are often 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.
