The Star Wars series can be split into two trilogies, the first series beginning with the original Star Wars, released on May 25, 1977.

Due to its success 2 other films followed: The Empire Strikes Back, released on May 21, 1980, and Return of the Jedi, released on May 25, 1983. 

All 3 original films were a massive success, and as a result huge lines of merchandise were released related to the Star Wars universe, everything from Star Wars toys, bed sheets, lunch boxes and Star Wars fancy dress outfits are still readily available. 

In 1993, almost twenty years after the release of the original Star Wars, it was announced that George Lucas would return to the galaxy that he created with a new trilogy focusing as prequels to the originals. The series consisted of Episode I: The Phantom Menace, released in 1999, Episode II: Attack of the Clones, released in 2002 and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, released in 2005.
