We were propelled into the future and our galaxy just hasn’t been the same since the 1977 theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Over the decades since the saga has explored the expansive frontier of space and showed us a vivid depiction of what could be living beyond our reach. Original creator George Lucas sparked the imaginations of millions of children and some of them grew up to be filmmakers.
J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson stepped into the shoes of giants when accepting the director’s seat for the creation of the recent segments of the nine-part Skywalk Saga. J.J. Abrams helmed Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019.) And Rian Johnson directed Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi(2017). All in all, 5 directors over 42 years have told us a story with rich characters and epic swings of the pendulum of power on the silver screen. A saga for the ages that expanded beyond the nine core films with anthology installments Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Not to mention the multiple animated series, the new Mandalorian show, and video games, too, this franchise has successfully connected across generational lines to become the Sci-Fi icon it is today. The story may be coming to an end with The Rise of Skywalker but we’re sure there are stories yet to tell.
As far as we can tell Star wars Costumes will never go out of style for Halloween, Conventions, movie premieres or a visit to Galaxy’s Edge at Disney. The franchise may have taken place in a galaxy long ago and far, far away, but the multi-generational fanbase is here to stay. This quotegraphic is for the stans out there that know all the words by heart. We collected a few from each of the movies for some of our favorite characters from the saga.
