Star Wars, science-fiction movie about a young man who joins a rebel group and helps them battle the evil empire. Released in 1977, this box-office hit was written and directed by George Lucas. It won Academy Awards for special effects, musical score, art direction, film editing, and costume design. A farm boy named Luke Skywalker (played by Mark Hamill) meets two robots, a warrior (Alec Guinness), and a pilot (Harrison Ford). With help from his friends, Skywalker frees the rebel leader Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from the empire’s space station, the Death Star. In a sequence packed with innovative special effects, Skywalker and the other rebel pilots attack and destroy the Death Star.
The film, subtitled A New Hope, inspired two sequels, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). All three films were rereleased in 1997 with new, digitally enhanced special effects. In 1999 Lucas released the first Star Wars prequel, The Phantom Menace, followed by Attack of the Clones (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005). The prequels follow the story of Luke’s father, Anakin Skywalker.
