In a galaxy far, far away...

It took George Lucas almost ten years to bring the first part of his ambitious science fiction odyssey to the screen. But when Star Wars finally reached cinema audiences in 1977, its release signalled the birth of the most successful space fantasy franchise of all time. Spawning two sequels, three prequels, books, comics, legions of action figures and a mass of other tie-in merchandise, Lucas's vision kick-started a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.
