2. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith came out in 2005 and starred Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman. It cost more than US$113 million to make, and used special effects that were far more advanced than those used in the first Star Wars film. This time people were queuing outside cinemas for week before the film came out. Some were even dressed as characters from the earlier Star Wars films! One fan said, 'I've been waiting three years to see this.'
3. The creator of Star Wars, George Lucas, first started writing about Luck Skywalker many years ago. But he couldn't have known how popular Star Wars would be. The worldwideboxoffice.com website lists the films that have made the most money at the box office. All together the Star Wars films have made nearly US$4500 million.
4. Not everybody liked all the Star Wars films. Many film critics did not think Episode I and Episode II were as good as the other films. However, Star Wars fans love them all - and it's the fans who buy the tickets!
