Star Wars is the third highest-grossing film franchise of all time, with a total of $10.7 billion hauled globally across its four spin-offs and three trilogies. As the quintessential definition of a sweeping saga, Star Wars‘ expansive lore has spawned books, TV shows, theme parks, and video games. All nine mainline films were commercially successful, especially Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, which grossed a total of $905.5 million against its $113 million budget. That’s an impressive feat even though it has since been outgrossed by other contenders, including this year’s blockbuster epic.
