That is how starwars becomes a deeply philosophical story that speaks repeatedly of the Force that revolves around everything. A rather mystical concept and as such has been difficult to address even by the saga itself. The best explanation so far is provided by old Luke Skywalker in the last jedi (2017): “it is what gives a Jedi his power. It is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us, unites the galaxy.”
If it is such an elaborate notion, it is because is inspired by all kinds of beliefs ranging from the oldest Eastern thoughts to Catholicism itself and that they have contributed to starwars be seen as a true religion. It’s no joke, there are many polls around the world that list the Force and the Jedi among the most popular creeds today.

A thoughtful plot, but also an adventure full of emotions. Action, comedy, romance and drama are just some of the sensations that the saga transmits, all of this enhanced by a wide and eclectic cast of characters. One of the most fascinating in the entire history of cinema and that includes the most varied species such as humans, aliens and robots. Each one of them with a very own personality, which allows them to interact with the greatest normality, although yes, always depending on the nature of each one of them, as well as their alliances, concerns or interests. This has resulted in numerous heroes and villains who are now an important part of popular culture.
It is, finally, a magical story, unique and unrepeatable. That makes the little ones dream of the adults they can become and invites the older ones to remember how it felt to be a child who fantasized about great adventures while looking at the horizon.
George Lucas always said that “Star Wars is fun, exciting, inspiring, and people respond to that. It’s what they want.” Well yes and in the end it has more than fulfilled it. His imagination not only gave us an endearing film franchise, but also gave us dreams, illusions and an authentic way of life. For this and more, long live Star Wars.
