The STAR WARS Series is a space opera (a space adventure with a chivalric story set in space) series, produced by filmmaker George Walton Lucas and released in 1977.

With a story structure in which heroes of justice eliminate evil organizations in a space setting, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that STAR WARS further broadened the recognition of the genre known as space opera.

The setting is a universe where a mysterious power called “the Force” exists. It's a series depicting the battle between the Jedi, who fight to protect the freedom and peace of the universe, and the Sith, a dark organization that opposes them. Many episodes have been released, and it is a popular series for which new works are still being produced.
