Star Wars

 is a vast franchise which started when film maker  released the film "Star Wars" in 1977. It is one of the highest grossing films of all time (by number of ticket sold). Since then six movies, books, cartoons and video games have been made. The guys often refer to Star Wars plots, characters and weapons, although they like Star Trek better. Penny, who is not as sci-fi fluent as her friends, often uses Star Wars as her first guess during games.
