Star Wars is an influential space saga and fictional universe created by producer and writer George Lucas in the late 1970s. The saga began with the film Star Wars, which was released on May 25, 1977. The film, later called Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, became a pop culture phenomenon and spawned five more live action feature films and an extensive collection of licensed books, comics, video games, spin-off films, television series, toys, and other products — all of which are set within a fictional "galaxy far, far away." Selected articleDarth Vader is the central antagonist in George Lucas's first three Star Wars films and Revenge of the Sith, voiced by James Earl Jones and portrayed physically by David Prowse in the original Star Wars trilogy and by Canadian actor Hayden Christensen in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Vader is one of the most iconic villains of all time, and was listed as the third greatest movie villain of all time on a list by AFI.[1] The original trilogy depicts Darth Vader as a fearsome cyborg and Sith Lord who serves at the right hand of Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), leading the brutal Galactic Empire in oppressing the galaxy and hunting down the Rebel Alliance. The prequel trilogy depicts him as Anakin Skywalker, a slave boy who becomes a heroic Jedi Knight and hero of the Clone Wars. He then falls to the "dark side" of the mystical Force after Palpatine manipulates him into betraying the Jedi and destroying the Galactic Republic. In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the series' final chronological installment, Vader redeems himself by killing Emperor Palpatine and saving his son Luke's life, sacrificing himself in the process.

In Star Wars (the original), when the Stormtroopers entered, one knocked his head on the doorway. This was completely accidental but George Lucas carried it on and added sound effects in the newest version.
