When creator and director George Lucas first envisioned the story of Star Wars, the space opera he wanted to make was too large for any one film. He imagined a story so big it would take an unheard-of nine films to tell. He would have to settle for just one, a film then known only as Star Wars (now, A New Hope). That film told the middle story of an epic battle between the forces of good and evil, and surprised almost everyone to become one of the most successful films of all time. Now more than forty years and 11 films later, Star Wars has grown even larger than anyone could have imagined.
The subsequent films, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), took us to new places, gave us more villains to root against, and showed us a hopeful vision of a galaxy far, far away. We saw the fall of an Empire, the redemption of Darth Vader and rise of Luke Skywalker as a Jedi Knight, cementing these characters into the hearts and minds of a generation.
In 1999, more than twenty years after the first Star Wars, audiences got to see first-hand galactic events only alluded to in earlier installments. These prequel filmsThe Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), and Revenge of the Sith (2005) showed us the fall of Anakin Skywalker, revealed the shocking rise of Darth Vader, took us to the battlefields of the Clone Wars, and portrayed what the Jedi Order had been.
The story of the Jedi came back to the big screen in a new trilogy, beginning with The Force Awakens (2015). There, a fresh generation of protagonists join the classic heroes in a renewed struggle against the dark side. In The Last Jedi (2017), we learn what happened to Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and in The Rise of Skywalker (2019), we see the epic conclusion of the Skywalker saga.
But the Skywalker story is just one part of a galaxy far, far way. Films like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) give us new insights into the events and characters wed come to know and love. Whether its the rebel mission to steal the Death Star plans or the story behind Han Solos scoundrel ways, they added even more epic scale to the Star Wars galaxy.
That epic scale is part of what makes Star Wars so great. Audiences are thrust into the middle of the action, diving head first into a galaxy of unending possibilities. Its a story that spills onto the pages of hundreds of books and comics, comes home in animated and live-action series, rests in our hands in dozens of games, and fills our imagination thanks to countless toys. That epic scale is on display in these 100 lists as well. They reveal many of the recurring themes, common elements, and familiar motifs from the films that make Star Wars an enduring story for generations of fans.

As the Emperor hands out a shocking punishment to the young man, Vader does indeed have a change of heart and sacrifices himself to defeat the Emperor. (Image D)
(The Last Jedi)
Decades after defeating the Empire, Luke Skywalker goes into hiding on the distant planet of Ahch-To. The aging Jedi Masters self-exile comes after his failure to train the next generation of Jedi and his nephew Ben Solos turn to the dark side. A visit from Rey, R2-D2, and Chewbacca isnt enough to convince him to return to civilization, but the wisdom of his long-lost Master Yoda persuades Luke that he must step in to save the Resistance from the evil First Order. Using the Force, Luke projects himself to the planet Crait to confront Kylo Ren. While the effort tricks his former student and allows the Resistance to escape, it is also fatally exhausting to Skywalker. As a result of his heroic deed, Luke Skywalker becomes one with Force. (
