Star Wars has been part of American pop culture for what seems like forever now. Since A New Hope released in 1977, fans worldwide have been following the franchise closely with each following installment.
It's hard not to become addicted to this series. George Lucas paid special attention to creating each of the Star Wars Universe's many planets, weapons, starships, and its characters. The incredible part of it all is that Lucas only had his imagination to work with when he created the original trilogy; there was no state of the art camera technology or post-production CGI available to him; it was just him with a pen and pencil and a lot of imagination.
As with any story, what makes Star Wars resonate with audiences the most is its characters. From the brave and independent Princess Leia, the smart-mouth and crafty Han Solo, to the adventurous, impulsive and ultimately wise Luke Skywalker, the series heroes grew into viewers hearts and helped the franchise blossom. Of course, no good story comes without its antagonists and Star Wars is no exception; Darth Vader remains one of filmmaking's most iconic villains throughout the ages. No wonder fans are torn when it comes to choosing a favorite character.
