Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.

The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", in which humans and many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist with robots (typically referred to in the films as 'droids'), who may assist them in their daily routines; space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters, to huge capital ships such as the Star Destroyers, to space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and HoloNet (internet counterpart).

The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to ours but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice.

Force-wielders are very limited in numbers in comparison to the population. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called a lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. As a result of galaxy-scaled politics (involving republics, empires, kingdoms, alliances, etc.), all this weaponry is made use of in various military conflicts during which most Star Wars material takes place. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments. Illicit activities include smuggling.

    Did you like Luke's Custome in the Mando S2 Finale?? I really liked it, I honestly wish that they went with the Grand Master Luke Custome with the Tan and Brown Robes, but that's just me!
  • @jarod9135
    Favreau's attention to detail and understanding of the timeline is refreshing. Which i hate that its rare.
  • @duncanidaho4565
    "I was an usher in the movie theatre when it was playing" - wow what a journey
  • @defvent
    "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." I love Luke
  • @s2sHoXXs2
    I like that he's in his ROTJ jedi knight outfit. It kind of scales the timeline better, telling us that this era of the new republic is still pretty fresh and, well, new.
  • @MajorSangheili
    The white flap at the end of RotJ is to symbolize that underneath the darkness, there is light. Glad he understood this
  • @nagamiito7029
    One of the best scenes ever filmed. Thank you for giving the fans the Luke Skywalker we could only read about and dream of.
  • I love how Luke appears to fight with rage in Mando. Crushing that droid was amazing.
  • Idk if people knew this but the early suit of Starkiller from The Force Unleashed game, came from The Return Of the Jedi Concept art of Luke in his early design.
  • @user-em5ok9oj5c
    You know, that actor talking about the outfit also plays as Paz Vizla! (The big mandolorian that always had trouble with Din Jarin and died in S3)
  • @KenobiStark1
    That black robe and garb for Luke in ROTJ was incredibly important and absolutely worked for his character. And then that deleted scene of him messing with his Saber, you saw him change the green light to red, then green again. Before they “explained” how they work, I remember me and my friends always thought that was him choosing the dark side/red saber for a second, then changing it back.
  • Favreau's attention to detail to be accurate with Star Wars lore did not go unnoticed by fans, and was celebrated. If only the rest of Lucasfilm showed as much respect to the fans and the source material.
  • Why can’t this man be the head of Star Wars instead of Kathleen Kennedy? He knows so much more about the lore and intentions of the original creators, as well as actually cares about everything going on. 😢
  • @jakewolf9495
    The fact that he said the collective memory of the people makes me trust him so much more. It also makes me realize why you such a great fit to work in the Star wars universe
  • That made me so freaking happy when Luke showed up. Wow. One of the best moments in Star Wars history.
  • @nxstng7325
    That moment red 5 comes on approach to land in the hangar and I realized what was happening may be the best moment for me from the entire Star Wars universe. Such a great episode
