      While
      Star
      Wars
      was
      a
      defining
      event
      for
      one
      generation,
      it
      has
      been
      embraced
      by
      new
     
     
      generations,
      assuring
      its
      place
      as
      a
      timeless
      epic
      of
      grand
      design
      and
      boundless
      fun.
      The
      trilogy
     
     
      has
      both
      entertained
      and
      inspired
      moviegoers
      by
      exploring
      the
      conflict
      between
      good
      and
      evil,
     
     
      and
      between
      technology
      and
      humanity.
      It
      also
      strikes
      a
      chord
      by
      celebrating
      heroism
      and
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      limitless
      potential
      of
      the
      individual.
