This is a series of films telling the epic story of the rise and fall of the Empire. Due to the success of the franchise their have been numerous spin-offs including books, comics, computer games, a role-playing game, action figures, toys, and more.
The first trilogy of films released were Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, which tell the story of the overthrow of the Empire.
(Note: At the time of its original release Episode IV: A New Hope was originally simply titled "Star Wars" - but was subsequently retitled when it became just one episode in a series of films.)
The remaining three films (Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith) are prequels that were released well over a decade later, and tell the story of how the Empire was established in the first place.

Product Description: More than twenty-five years after the groundbreaking movie Star Wars: A New Hope first hit the silver screen, Star Wars remains one of the most beloved sagas ever told. Together, the three original Star Wars movies–A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi–told one epic: a heroic tale of innocence lost and wisdom gained, of downfall and redemption, of the never-ending fight between the forces of good and evil. Read the story of the movies–all three in one trade paperback volume–and rediscover the wonder of the legend that begins: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . . Luke Skywalker lived and worked on his uncle’s farm on the remote planet of Tatooine, but he yearned to travel beyond the farthest reaches of the universe to distant, alien worlds. Then Luke intercepted a cryptic message from a beautiful, captive princess . . . and found himself catapulted into the adventure of a lifetime. Luke Skywalker, proud Princess Leia, and headstrong Han Solo . . . merciless Darth Vader, wise Obi-Wan Kenobi, loyal droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, and the inscrutable Yoda . . . Chewbacca the Wookiee, shifty Lando Calrissian, and the vile Jabba the Hutt . . . all the vivid characters from the Star Wars universe spring to life in these thrilling pages. The Star Wars Trilogy is a must-read for anyone who wants to relive the excitement, the magic, and the sheer entertainment of this legendary saga–now and forever.
