The Star Wars movies are among the most successful films ever made. The first one was released in 1977 and was made by the film-maker George Lucas. Over forty years later, they are still hugely popular. Lucas company “Lucasfilm” made the first six movies. Disney bought the company in 2012 for just over $4 billion. In 2018, the total value of the Star Wars movie franchise5 was estimated to be around $65 billion. Film critic Roger Ebert said the first Star Wars movie changed Hollywood and influenced how movies were made for decades after. The original Star Wars movie began a new generation6 of films that used a lot of special effects and high-energy action scenes.
