The franchise launched in May 25, 1977 when ‘Star Wars’, written and directed by George Lucas, was first released in theaters. It was followed by ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ and ‘Return of the Jedi’ closing out the original franchise. Sixteen years after the last of those films hit theaters, a new prequel trilogy began with the release of ‘Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace’. It was followed by ‘Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones’ and ‘Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith’. In 2012, Lucas sold the rights to the ‘Star Wars’ franchise to Disney who announced a new, sequel trilogy. The first film, ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’, was directed by J.J. Abrams and opened in theaters in 2015. The next, ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi,’ is directed by Rian Johnson and opens in the winter of 2017. The ‘Star Wars’ films have made over $7.5 billion at the box-office, making it one of the highest-grossing film series of all-time.”,”post_count”:2091,”link_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/star-wars/”,”feed_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/star-wars/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:469,”object_id”:0},{“id”:30741,”slug”:”the-mandalorian-and-grogu”,”title”:”The Mandalorian and Grogu”,”description”:””,”post_count”:22,”link_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/the-mandalorian-and-grogu/”,”feed_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/the-mandalorian-and-grogu/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:12860,”object_id”:0}],”categories”:[{“id”:713,”slug”:”box-office”,”title”:”Box Office”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:453,”link_url”:”//screencrush.com/category/box-office/”,”feed_url”:”//screencrush.com/category/box-office/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:718,”object_id”:0},{“id”:1,”slug”:”movie-news”,”title”:”Movie News”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:32326,”link_url”:”//screencrush.com/category/movie-news/”,”feed_url”:”//screencrush.com/category/movie-news/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1,”object_id”:0}],”authors”:[{“id”:595061,”slug”:”mattsinger”,”name”:”Matt Singer”,”first_name”:”Matt”,”last_name”:”Singer”,”nickname”:”mattsinger”,”description”:”Matt Singer is the editor and critic of the website ScreenCrush.com.

When Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke were working on the screenplay for what would later become 2001: A Space Odyssey, they had no clue what to call it. The story itself was taken from several of Clarke’s short stories, particularly “The Sentinel” and “Encounter in the Dawn,” and the two privately referred to it as How the Solar System Was Won, a reference to the epic western How the West Was Won, but didn’t seriously consider that for a title, either. When Kubrick announced the upcoming film in a press release, he referred to it as Journey Beyond The Stars, but that didn’t stick, and the studio considered a few others including Universe, Tunnel to the Stars, and Planetfall. Knowing the grand scope of the film and wanting to indicate to the audience that this was more than just a pulpy space adventure, Kubrick settled on 2001: A Space Odyssey almost a year after they had started working on the movie, drawing a parallel between the vast ocean of the Greeks in The Odyssey and the vast expanse of space for the astronauts in the movie.
