I read a long time ago that when George Lucas submitted the idea for Star Wars to Fox, they were not interested in the rights to the merchandise so gave them to Lucas (hence any Star Wars stuff is always branded Lucas Arts or some such). Film merchandise was not really a big thing in the 70s so it was one of the first major films to cash in.
From the success of the Star Wars films Lucas went on to create Industrial Light & Magic which created effects for many other films.
I understand that Lucas made more from merchandise than the films made for Fox. Shame he got greedy and made Phantom Manace, but that's a whole new story...
No. More movies are going to be made
There will be no more official Star Wars movies. The story is over.
Yes
yes
no they are done making them
this is no more stars wars clone wars is next
I don't think so, since no more movies are planned to be made
The first Star Wars movie was simply called Star Wars because George Lucas thought there was little chance for a sequel. After more movies were made, the name was changed to Star Wars: A New Hope.
Six if you are counting the regular series (1977-2008) but there were more spin-offs released, like clone wars.
yes it is called star wars the clone wars. but george lucas has stated that he has no intensions of making more unanimated movies
There won't be anymore made by George Lucas himself, because Disney bought the rights to Lucasfilm from him, so Disney is in charge of Star Wars now
I would think starwars
