For questions about the 'Star Wars' universe created by George Lucas. By default, this tag is for questions about canon works in the 'Star Wars' universe. Indicate that works in the Legends continuity are acceptable and/or desired by using the [star-wars-legends] tag.
Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise conceived by George Lucas, later acquired by The Walt Disney Company, relegating many of the previous stories to 'Legends' (see How is canonicity of derivative works determined for Star Wars? to better understand how this affects Star Wars continuity). It is one of the highest-grossing film series in the United States. This film series has spawned other media including books, television series, video games, and comic books.
In series order, Episodes IV, V, and VI were released first, followed by the Episode I, II, and III prequels nearly 16 years later. Episode VII was released in December 2015, Episode VIII released in December 2017, and Episode IX was released in December 2019. The ongoing Star Wars Anthology film series tells stories adjacent to the main films. These include Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in 2016 and Solo: A Star Wars Story in 2018.
