From Saturday Night Live spoofs to dedicated meme accounts to the odd mention in interpersonal conversation, it’s everywhere-in music especially. Since Disney bought the rights to Star Wars, a whole new slate of films and TV shows have arrived, giving new generations all the more reason to love (or hate) the stories and characters that first attracted widespread devotion decades earlier-and they’re not showing signs of slowing down any time soon (Just this morning it was announced that Taika Waititi will direct a feature-length Star Wars film).īeing the pop culture giant that it is, Star Wars is referenced a lot in media other than film.
Whether you’re a ride-or-die fan, a casual appreciator or an active avoider of the Star Wars universe, you probably have an opinion on it, and news flash: You’ll never be able to escape it. In the Expanded Universe many dark side users are Dark Jedi rather than Sith, mainly because of the Rule of Two.Star Wars is as much a part of the collective American consciousness as national sports leagues or Tom Hanks. The six films feature the Jedi, who use the Force for good, and the Sith, who use the dark side for evil in an attempt to take over the galaxy. While the Force can be used for good, it has a dark side that, when pursued, imbues users with hatred, aggression, and malevolence. It is described in the first produced film as "an energy field created by all living things binds the galaxy together." The Force allows users to perform a variety of supernatural feats (such as telekinesis, clairvoyance, precognition, and mind control) and also can amplify certain physical traits, such as speed and reflexes these abilities can vary from user to user and can be improved through training. One of the prominent elements of Star Wars is the "Force", which is an omnipresent form of energy which can be harnessed by those with that ability. Space travel is common, and many planets in the galaxy are members of a Galactic Republic, later reorganized as the Galactic Empire.
Robotic droids are also commonplace and are generally built to serve their owners. Many species of alien creatures (often humanoid) are depicted.
The events depicted in Star Wars media take place in a fictional galaxy. Star Wars is an epic space opera franchise initially conceived by George Lucas during the 1970s and significantly expanded since that time.
