In 1977, Star Wars tapped into an unknown territory of fandom never seen before except maybe with Star Trek. There must be something about stars and exploration that holds our attention and captures our imagination in a grand scale of the whole galaxy. Our problems seem insignificant and when zoomed out, the world seems very beautiful. That is what the first installment of the series did to people - it gave them hope to look forward into the future and appreciate the universe, and our little planet within it even more.

In this series, I will be talking about everything connected to Star Wars culture, including movies, tv shows, books, comic books, special holidays and impact of the franchise on these categories of American pop culture, which underwent a big change when Star Wars became a success. I definitely believe it to be a change for good as it was very fragmented before, and in 1977 everyone got together under the notion of loving a great franchise being born and it actually was not considered your traditional "nerdy" that drove girls away from young men involved in it.
In the wake of the new movie coming out in five weeks and the whole rejuvenation of the movie sphere of Star Wars as of late, it is fitting to start this series off with going over every movie that has come out chronologically. That will be the focus of upcoming installments of this little blog series - see you again soon and may the force be with you!
QUESTIONS:
1. When did Star Wars started being produced?
2. How long has it been screened in movie theaters?
