Movie Star American Style

The Star Wars franchise involves multiple live-action and animated films, occurring within its all-encompassing fictional universe. The series was initially created as a trilogy set in medias res (partway through the plot) that was later expanded into a trilogy of trilogies, known as the "Skywalker Saga". The original 1977 film Star Wars (later subtitled A New Hope) was followed by the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983); these films form the original trilogy.
