The Star Wars movies are divided into three trilogies that chronicle the rise, fall, and redemption of a powerful family in a galaxy far, far away.
The Original Trilogy introduces Luke Skywalker, a young hero who discovers his destiny as a Jedi, a warrior with a deep connection to a mystical energy known as the Force. He joins a band of rebels, including Princess Leia and Han Solo, to fight against the tyrannical Galactic Empire, led by the fearsome dark lord, Darth Vader. The trilogy follows Luke’s journey as he learns the ways of the Force, confronts Vader, and ultimately helps to bring down the Empire.
The Prequel Trilogy explores the origins of Darth Vader, revealing how a once-promising Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker was seduced by the dark side of the Force and became the galaxy's greatest threat. This descent into darkness is marked by intense battles, political intrigue, and the tragic loss of innocence as the Republic falls and the Empire rises, all under the manipulations of the Sith Lord, Emperor Palpatine.
The Sequel Trilogy follows a new generation of heroes and villains, including Rey, a scavenger who discovers her own powerful connection to the Force, and Kylo Ren, the conflicted son of Han Solo and Princess Leia, who has embraced the dark side. As they grapple with the legacy of the Skywalkers, they face the resurgence of an old enemy, the Emperor, uncover buried secrets, and ultimately confront their own identities as they strive to bring balance to the Force and the galaxy once more.
