May the 4th be with you, to all who celebrate. The Star Wars franchise is one of the originators – if not the originator – of the “cinematic universe” concept that’s been adopted by many other major films. One could argue, there would be no MCU had George Lucas not birthed the concept of the Skywalker family. What’s special about Star Wars, too, is that every generation has their own trilogy, their own introduction to the franchise, and their own thoughts on the intergalactic action-adventure anthology. On Star Wars Day, we give the franchise its flowers.
