Synopsis:

Doubtless there are still executives at 20th Century Fox who rue the day the studio gave away the sequel rights to a soon-to-be released science fiction film to its director, George Lucas. Who could have guessed Star Wars would become one of the greatest money makers of all time and inspire a phenomenally popular series of follow-ups? The original films in the Star Wars trilogy are now numbered episodes four through six, thanks to the new series of prequels Lucas has undertaken (beginning with 1999's Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace).
