The Star Wars franchise is one of the most beloved franchises in movie history as well as one of the biggest money-making franchises in history — second only to the Marvel Cinematic Universe — bringing in nearly $10 billion globally over its over four-decade existence (Marvel has now reached about twice that, but took about twice as many films to pull it off).
While Star Wars is a massively popular franchise, it’s a mixed bag in terms of quality, film by film — from the highly acclaimed “Empire Strikes Back” of the original trilogy to the much-mocked “Phantom Menace” of the prequels, and all the mediocre to descent installments offered by various directors over the decades.
