Star Wars

Star Wars was a space opera from 1977, directed by George Lucas and produced by 20th Century Fox. The film was originally planned to grow into a franchise of up to twelve movies, but was received poorly by critics, and subsequently dropped from Fox's roster.

Star Wars has since developed a cult following, aided in 1978 by the release of a CBS holiday special that was considered one of the worst pieces of media ever, and was disowned by director Lucas himself. Fans of the movie call themselves "Jedi Knights"
