Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.

The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", in which humans and many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist with robots (typically referred to in the films as 'droids'), who may assist them in their daily routines; space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters, to huge capital ships such as the Star Destroyers, to space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and HoloNet (internet counterpart).

The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to ours but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice.

Force-wielders are very limited in numbers in comparison to the population. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called a lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. As a result of galaxy-scaled politics (involving republics, empires, kingdoms, alliances, etc.), all this weaponry is made use of in various military conflicts during which most Star Wars material takes place. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments. Illicit activities include smuggling.

It's really cool to see that at one point Harrison was almost giddy about Star Wars. However, the way he acts towards Star Wars now is understandable. Do you agree?

I suppose Harrison Ford not getting recognised for his earlier roles in the 1970s is a real testament to how great of an actor he is and his astounding range of performances.

Love how he went to the movie at a regular theater

If you watch the Star Wars documentary, EVERYONE hated the script and had no idea of what was going on. They all had the paycheck attitude. Alec Guiness talks about how Lucas promised him a high number of points for an actor on the film. Guiness really didn't pay heed until the movie was a hit and went back to George. Of course the number dropped but still a high number of points. Guiness said it made retirement very comfortable.

Ford just seems to be a private person who got himself locked into his own gilded cage. I wish someone would ask him would you prefer being a carpenter for your whole life instead of being a movie star. I am betting the answer would be very interesting.

I remember watching a movie called The Conversation starring Gene Hackmen, at one point he needs to take some tapes to an office to get paid, the guy in the office was played by Harrison Ford, really surprised me, this movie was a good 6 years before Star Wars.

1970s: Whose Harrison Ford? 2000s: Holy crap it's Han Solo/ Indiana Jones!

[innertuber]

He does an excellent job portraying different personalities on-screen, but I'll be honest, I can't see any way I wouldn't recognize him

[rickmaldoo]
