Star Wars Saga

The Star Wars Saga is a space opera film series that consists of eleven movies. The Star Wars Saga started out with the Star Wars Trilogy, which was released from 1977 to 1983. These three films were originally intended to be the Saga, until the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy was released from 1999 to 2005.
