Star Wars Trilogy Star Wars Trilogy The "Star Wars" Trilogy, often colloquially referred to as the original trilogy, is the first set of three films produced in the "Star Wars" franchise, an American space opera created by George Lucas. It was produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. and distributed by 20th Century Fox, and consisted of the original "Star Wars" film (1977), "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) and "Return of the Jedi" (1983). The original trilogy would be followed by a prequel trilogy between 1999 and 2005, and a sequel trilogy between 2015 and 2019. Collectively, they have been referred to as the "Skywalker saga"

It wouldn't be part of the main story, but a sequel to this thing." However Lucas was not made with the "Star Wars" franchise, his attention however was not on the sequel trilogy, as it had shifted towards the story before the original trilogy. Between 1999 and 2005, Lucas would return to the universe he had created, by writing and directing, what would become the prequel trilogy of Episodes "I", "II", and "III". and
