The Star Wars Trilogy: Special Edition : ウィキペディア英語版
Star Wars


''Star Wars'' is an American epic space opera franchise centered on a film series created by George Lucas. It depicts the adventures of various characters "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", following the main story of Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke.
The first film in the series, ''Star Wars'' (later subtitled ''Episode IV: A New Hope''), was released on May 25, 1977 by 20th Century Fox and became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. It was followed by the similarly successful sequels ''The Empire Strikes Back'' (1980) and ''Return of the Jedi'' (1983); these three films constitute the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy. A prequel trilogy was later released between 1999 and 2005, which received a more mixed reaction from critics and fans, compared to the original trilogy. All six films were nominated for or won Academy Awards, and were commercial successes, with a combined box office revenue of $4.38 billion,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Star Wars – Box Office History )〕 making ''Star Wars'' the fifth-highest-grossing film series. The series has spawned an extensive media franchise—the ''Star Wars'' expanded universe—including books, television series, computer and video games, and comic books, resulting in significant development of the series's fictional universe. ''Star Wars'' also holds a Guinness World Records title for the "Most successful film merchandising franchise." In 2012, the total value of the ''Star Wars'' franchise was estimated at USD $30.7 billion (£19.51 billion), including box-office receipts as well as profits from their video games and DVD sales.
In 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion and announced three new ''Star Wars'' films, with the first film, ''Star Wars: The Force Awakens'', planned for release on December 18, 2015. 20th Century Fox retains the physical distribution rights to the first two ''Star Wars'' trilogies, owning permanent rights for the original 1977 film and holding the rights to ''Episodes I''–''III'', ''V'' and ''VI'' until May 2020. The Walt Disney Studios owns digital distribution rights to all the ''Star Wars'' films, excluding ''A New Hope''.〔
==Setting==

The events depicted in ''Star Wars'' media take place in a fictional galaxy. Many species of alien creatures (often humanoid) are depicted. Robotic droids are also commonplace and are generally built to serve their owners. Space travel is common, and many planets in the galaxy are members of a Galactic Republic, later reorganized as the Galactic Empire.
One of the prominent elements of ''Star Wars'' is the "Force", an omnipresent energy that can be harnessed by those with that ability, known as Force-sensitives. It is described in the first produced film as "an energy field created by all living things () surrounds us, penetrates us, () binds the galaxy together." The Force allows users to perform various supernatural feats (such as telekinesis, clairvoyance, precognition, and mind control) and can amplify certain physical traits, such as speed and reflexes; these abilities vary between characters and can be improved through training. While the Force can be used for good, it has a dark side that, when pursued, imbues users with hatred, aggression, and malevolence.
The six films feature the Jedi, who use the Force for good, and the Sith, who use the dark side for evil in an attempt to take over the galaxy. In the ''Star Wars'' Expanded Universe, many dark side users are Dark Jedi rather than Sith, mainly because of the "Rule of Two" (see Sith Origin).〔〔〔
