Starwars – Tracking the Intersection of Culture and Media
The movie Starwars by George Lucus, is more than just a piece of entertainment because it was way ahead of it’s time and because it is carried on by tens of thousands of fans. Starwars was created by George Lucus and was the very first Starwars movie out of a total of six movies altogether. It was actually the fourth in the set timeline. Lucus made Starwars, Starwars the Empire Strikes Back, and Starwars The Return of the Jedi, before continuing on with Starwars Phantom Menace, Starwars Battle of the Clone Wars, and Starwars Return of the Sith which were meant to be based earlier in time leading up to the original Starwars. Lucus captured thousands of fan’s imagination and creativity through the years of creating, directing, and producing all six Starwars movies, who are to this day called Starwars Junkies or better known as Fan Boys. To this day Lucus’s creation is well known and enjoyed by tens of thousands of people. Once Starwars was created it, spawned a new generation in movies, games, toys, fashion wear and child-thru-teen accessories such as school supplies. Even though this six movie set were only make believe movies, and held no real truth to them, they still sparked interest in thousands of children around the world. Every kid had their favorite character and wanted so badly to be them. From children running around in their backyards pretending to be fighting the Phantom Menace to teens playing Starwars video games, these movies were welded into popular culture and will forever remain as such.
