Star Wars is an American epic space opera[1] media franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon. The franchise has been expanded into various films and other media, including television series, video games, novels, comic books, theme park attractions, and themed areas, comprising an all-encompassing fictional universe.[a] The franchise holds a Guinness World Records title for the "Most successful film merchandising franchise."[3] In 2020, the Star Wars franchise's total value was estimated at US$70 billion, and it is currently[when?] the fifth-highest-grossing media franchise of all time.
The eleven live-action films together have been nominated for 37 Academy Awards, of which they have won seven. The films were also awarded a total of three Special Achievement Awards. The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi received Special Achievement Awards for their visual effects,[4][5] and Star Wars received a Special Achievement Award for its alien, creature and robot voices.[6][7]
The original film was nominated for most of the major categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Alec Guinness, while all sequels have been nominated for technical categories.
Star Wars has the most Saturn Awards (for a film franchise) with 49 wins.
Star Wars (1977) was originally nominated for 12 and won eight competitive awards; the actual number of wins includes five special non-competitive awards, which don't count toward nomination totals and were given out to reward the film's art direction, cinematography, editing, set decoration, and sound, respectively. In addition, the film received a special award in 1997 for its 20th anniversary.
Total Saturn Award wins for each Star Wars film includes:
14 (including 6 non-competitive) wins for Star Wars (1977), 4 wins for The Empire Strikes Back (1980), 5 wins for Return of the Jedi (1983), 2 wins for The Phantom Menace (1999), 2 wins for Attack of the Clones (2002), 1 win for Star Wars Trilogy (2004), a compilation comprising the franchise's first three installments, 2 wins for Revenge of the Sith (2005), 8 wins for The Force Awakens (2015), 3 wins for Rogue One (2016), 3 wins for The Last Jedi (2017), and 5 wins for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
Music for Star Wars has earned composer John Williams most of the awards and nominations in his career:
1 Academy Awards (5 nominations), 1 Golden Globe Awards (1 nomination), 2 BAFTA Awards (2 nominations), 6 Grammy Awards (11 nominations), 3 Saturn Awards (4 nominations).
To the same John Williams' music to A New Hope is the only Golden Globe win for the Star Wars.
