Star Wars Trilogy

Facts of the films:

Written by: George Lucas
Starring with: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and David Prowse


The original three films written by George Lucas: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi screened between 1977 to 1983, and brought to our screens one of the best science fiction movie series of all time.



The Trilogy had the rare distinction of becoming a cultural phenomenon - a defining event for its generation. On the surface, the Star Wars story is simply a rollicking and humorous space fantasy with excellent film graphics, but audiences became entranced by its basic struggle of good vs. evil "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away,…", its amazing special effects, and the mythology of Jedi knights, the Force, and Droids. Over the course of the three films: A New Hope (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983) - Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), and Han Solo (Harrison Ford) join the Rebel alliance in a galactic war against the Empire, the menacing Darth Vader (David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones), and eventually the all-powerful Emperor. Empire is generally considered the best of the films with Jedi being the most uneven, but all three are vastly superior to the more technologically impressive ones that followed - Episode I, The Phantom Menace (1999) and Episode II, Attack of the Clones (2002).
