Star Wars
Galactic rebellion saga
Star Wars is a sprawling science-fiction franchise created by George Lucas, beginning with the 1977 film.
The series follows conflicts between Jedi knights and Sith lords across a galaxy of planets, aliens, and starships.
It has spawned sequels, prequels, television series, and an enormous merchandising empire.
The phrase also refers to the Strategic Defense Initiative, a 1980s U.S. missile defense program critics nicknamed after the films: Reagan's Star Wars program proved too ambitious.
