Star Wars is an American epic space opera[1] media franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon. The franchise has been expanded into various films and other media, including television series, video games, novels, comic books, theme park attractions, and themed areas, comprising an all-encompassing fictional universe.[a] The franchise holds a Guinness World Records title for the "Most successful film merchandising franchise."[3] In 2020, the Star Wars franchise's total value was estimated at US$70 billion, and it is currently[when?] the fifth-highest-grossing media franchise of all time.
The eleven live-action films together have been nominated for 37 Academy Awards, of which they have won seven. The films were also awarded a total of three Special Achievement Awards. The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi received Special Achievement Awards for their visual effects,[4][5] and Star Wars received a Special Achievement Award for its alien, creature and robot voices.[6][7]
The original film was nominated for most of the major categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Alec Guinness, while all sequels have been nominated for technical categories.
