Created by the founder, former chairman and CEO of Lucasfilm, George Lucas. The first film came out way back in 1977. It was widely expected to be a flop and in fact, Lucas made a bet with Steven Spielberg that ended up costing him \u00a340 Million! He traded a percentage of the takings that turned out to be the best bet Spielberg ever made. Here&#8217;s Spielberg talking about it<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">&#8220;[He\u00a0 said] All right, I\u2019ll tell you what. I\u2019ll trade some points with you. You want to trade some points? I\u2019ll give you 2.5% of Star Wars if you give me 2.5% of <em>Close Encounters<\/em>.\u2019 So I said, \u2018Sure, I\u2019ll gamble with that. Great.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film and its franchise have gone on to become one of the most beloved cult classics of our time. It still continues to grow and expand. The biggest spin-off so far is The Mandalorian and its scene-stealing star&#8221;Baby Yoda&#8221; aka Grougru.<\/p>\n<p>Fun fact, did you know The Last Jedi was called &#8220;Space Bears&#8221; during its filming?<\/p>\n<p>Why not have a quick Google search will have you lost for hours in all the amazing facts associated with this movieverse.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Star Wars Day<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Events are held all over the world every year to celebrate this beloved Universe.
