Listen to a Podcast About Star Wars Lore

Explore the galaxy far, far away — the Force, the Sith and Jedi, expanded universe canon, the mythology George Lucas drew from, and how Star Wars redefined pop culture storytelling.

The original "Star Wars" (1977) was made for $11 million after being rejected by multiple studios, yet grossed $775 million worldwide and fundamentally transformed Hollywood's approach to blockbuster filmmaking, merchandising, and special effects. George Lucas explicitly drew on Joseph Campbell's "Hero with a Thousand Faces" to structure Luke Skywalker's journey, as well as Akira Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress" (1958) for the plot device of telling an epic story through minor characters. The "Legends" continuity (formerly the Expanded Universe), comprising over 300 novels, thousands of comics, and dozens of games published from 1976 to 2014, was reclassified as non-canon by Lucasfilm after Disney's $4 billion acquisition in 2012.
