<P> The Star Wars franchise takes place in a distant unnamed fictional galaxy at an undetermined point in the ancient past, where many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist . People own robotic droids, who assist them in their daily routines, and space travel is common . </P> <P> The spiritual and mystical element of the Star Wars galaxy is known as "the Force". It is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things (that) surrounds us, penetrates us, (and) binds the galaxy together". The people who are born deeply connected to the Force have better reflexes; through training and meditation, they are able to achieve various supernatural feats (such as telekinesis, clairvoyance, precognition, and mind control). The Force is wielded by two major factions at conflict: the Jedi, who harness the light side of the Force, and the Sith, who use the dark side of the Force through hate and aggression . </P> <Table> Film trilogies <Tr> <Th> Film </Th> <Th> Release date </Th> <Th> Director (s) </Th> <Th> Screenwriter (s) </Th> <Th> Story by </Th> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Th> Distributor (s) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Original trilogy </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Episode IV--A New Hope </Th> <Td> May 25, 1977 (1977 - 05 - 25) </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> George Lucas </Td> <Td> Gary Kurtz </Td> <Td> 20th Century Fox </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Episode V--The Empire Strikes Back </Th> <Td> May 21, 1980 (1980 - 05 - 21) </Td> <Td> Irvin Kershner </Td> <Td> Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan </Td> <Td> George Lucas </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Episode VI--Return of the Jedi </Th> <Td> May 25, 1983 (1983 - 05 - 25) </Td> <Td> Richard Marquand </Td> <Td> Lawrence Kasdan and George Lucas </Td> <Td> Howard Kazanjian </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Prequel trilogy </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Episode I--The Phantom Menace </Th> <Td> May 19, 1999 (1999 - 05 - 19) </Td> <Td> George Lucas </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> George Lucas </Td> <Td> Rick McCallum </Td> <Td> 20th Century Fox </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Episode II--Attack of the Clones </Th> <Td> May 16, 2002 (2002 - 05 - 16) </Td> <Td> George Lucas and Jonathan Hales </Td> <Td> George Lucas </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Episode III--Revenge of the Sith </Th> <Td> May 19, 2005 (2005 - 05 - 19) </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> George Lucas </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Sequel trilogy </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Episode VII--The Force Awakens </Th> <Td> December 18, 2015 (2015 - 12 - 18) </Td> <Td> J.J.
