The Star Wars pop culture Phenomenon
The Star Wars movie franchise has become one of the most famous pop culture phenomena. George Lucas began the franchise with the 1977 film “Star Wars,” and it quickly became a global phenomenon.

Episode VI – Return of the Jedi
Star Wars Episode VI – Return of the Jedi is an epic 1983 space opera film. It was written by George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan and produced by George Lucas. The film is one of the most successful franchises in cinema history. The story is about the Jedi and their quest to save the galaxy.
The film is set when the Empire was building a new Death Star. In this time, Luke Skywalker and his crew are entrusted with the mission of freeing Han Solo from the grasp of the Galactic Empire. Meanwhile, the Rebel Alliance is preparing to attack the Death Star. Meanwhile, Jabba the Hutt, who has also captured Princess Leia, still held Han Solo captive. To save the fugitive Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and his crew must fight Darth Vader. The film also features Chewbacca, Yoda, R2-D2, Lando Calrissian, Ewoks, and many more.

The Force Awakens aims to appeal to both young and old fans of the series. It introduces new characters, as well as reintroduces old favorites.

Episode VIII — The Rise of Skywalker

While The Last Jedi is longer than any other Star Wars movie, Episode VIII – The Rise of Skywalker is the third-longest Star Wars movie (after A New Hope). Initially, Colin Trevorrow was going to direct Episode IX, but he backed out because of creative differences. J.J. Abrams now produces the movie.
