When the movie "Star Wars" first hit the movie theatres in 1977, there was a great deal of speculation about success or failure of the movie. Even the writer, director George Lucas had his doubts about the concept. "Star Wars" was revolutionary in movie production both because of the special effects used and the story revolving around humans and aliens in another part of the galaxy. The movie soon became a huge success and attracted millions of viewers to the movie theatres. Following the success of "Star Wars", George Lucas began production of the sequel "The Empire Strikes Back". Released in 1980, this movie also became a huge success. Often sequels do not measure up to the viewers expectations but this was not the case with the Star Wars movies. With the third movie in the trilogy released in 1983, "Retum of the Jedi" was equally popular.

The soundtrack for the movies was left in the capable hands of John Williams who was introduced to George Lucas through Steven Spielberg. George Lucas had written the screenplays to common classical pieces and asked John Williams to write pieces with a similar feel and mood. With compositions such as the Star Wars theme and the Emperor's Theme, John Williams proved himself to be a talented and insighfful composer.

Some interesting facts about the production of the original movie "Star Wars" is the fact that by the standards of the time, "Star Wars" was a relatively low budget movie. After the concept was tumed down by two companies, a third saw the potential in a movie such as "Star Wars". Also of interest is the discovery of Harrison Ford who played Han Solo in the three movies. He was working on the set as a carpenter and had not auditioned for the part but was asked to read the lines of Han Solo during the audition of four other actors and actresses. The parts of Luke Skywalker, Princess Lea, Han Solo, Chewbacca and C3-PO were read together to find the right combination of actors. Harrison Ford read the part of Han Solo better than any other actor and was immediately cast for the role. Interestingly enough, Harrison Ford has gone on to be a highly successful and sought after actor today.
