Star Wars: A New Hope

The one that started it all, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope launched what would become one of the most successful movie series and media franchises of all time. It tells the story of a ragtag group of Rebels fighting against the Galactic Empire. It introduced the characters Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, C-3PO, Obi-Wan Kenobi and R2-D2. The film spawned several sequels, prequels, animated TV series, toys, games and other media.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a video game RPG created by BioWare that expanded into a series of novels and comics, and was followed by the sequel Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic.
==The Setting==
KotOR takes place approximately 3500 years before the events portrayed in the Star Wars movies. The player has the ability to decide the main character's gender, appearance, and name, a common feature in BioWare games; however, this character was later defined as a white man in order to create a single canon that could be used in books and Star Wars: The Old Republic. The plot begins with the main character dreaming while the ship that s/he serves on is suddenly attacked by Sith forces. The main character manages to escape with the help of Carth Onasi, a pilot who survives the attack, and together they search for a Jedi named Bastila Shan, who they hope will be able to help defeat the Sith. 
==The Fandom==
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic fandom appears to be primarily spread across the following spaces:
===BioWare Social Network===
The BioWare Social Network, or the BSN, is BioWare's official forums, containing subforums for each individual game, as well as areas for fans to discuss specific aspects such as in-game romances, character development, and general universe lore.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is the sequel to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Although the first game done by BioWare, the developers were too busy with Jade Empire and Dragon Age: Origins and suggested that Obsidian Entertainment take over. Due to LucasArts interference, the game was released unfinished; fans later released mods to add more content to the game.
==The Setting==
Set a few years after the conclusion of the first game, KotOR2 focuses on the story of a Jedi in exile. After being banished to the outer parts of the galaxy and his/her Force abilities stripped by the Jedi Council for aiding Revan (the main character of the first game), the Exile awakens from unconsciousness in a station in Republic territory. With the help of a group of non-playable companions, the Exile searches for the remains of the Jedi Order, all the while being hunted by the Sith. 
==The Fandom==
The KotOR2 fandom appears to be primarily spread across the following spaces:
===BioWare Social Network===
The BioWare Social Network, or the BSN, is BioWare's official forums, containing subforums for each individual game, as well as areas for fans to discuss specific aspects such as in-game romances, character development, and general universe lore.
===Modding===
Modding is a popular fan activity in KotOR2. The greatest endeavor was probably the TSL Restored Content Mod, which was created by two fans, credited as HighPriest and Aurora.Cut content from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Accessed October 21, 2012. This massive mod attempted to fill in the holes left when the game was released prematurely. In the PC version of the game, Obsidian Entertainment gave fans access to many unused files, including scripts and recorded dialog.
In addition to this mod, there are many other smaller projects that allow the user to customized the game, such as adding more items and skins.

Star Wars: The Homemade Version

Star Wars: The Homemade Version is a fan-made "photo-novel" by Scott Corrales and Antonio Guzman and described great detail (including the complete plot), along with some sample photos, in Blue Harvest #10 (1996).
NOTE: The title of the fanwork is never mentioned and called here on Fanlore by the title of the Blue Harvest article.
The photo-novel was created in 1981 after Scott and Antonio read an May 19, 1980 article in Time Magazine on the third Star Wars movie. "With hundreds of dollars in toys and a Rollei 35mm camera, we were determined not to wait out the excruciating three years in passive anticipation -- we would make our own "Return of the Jedi."

Star Wars Day

Star Wars Day is celebrated on May 4th. It is considered an official holiday by Star Wars fans to celebrate Star Wars culture and honor the films.
==One of the Celebrations==
In 2011, the first organized celebration of Star Wars Day took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Toronto Underground Cinema. Festivities included an Original Trilogy Trivia Game Show, a costume contest with celebrity judges, and the web's best tribute films, mash-ups, parodies, and remixes on the big screen.Star Wars Day, Official Website.
==Why May 4th?==
May 4 is called Star Wars Day due to a common pun based on the phrase, "May the Force be with you." 
One early use of the pun, though unintentional, was May 18, 2005. In an interview with George Lucas on the German news TV channel N24, Lucas was asked to quote "May the Force be with you." The interpreter simultaneously interpreted into German: "Am 4. Mai sind wir bei Ihnen" ("We shall be with you on May 4").
==Alternate Date==
Star Wars Day has also been celebrated on May 25th, to honor the release date of the original film in 1977. One such notable celebration was declared by the Los Angeles City Council in May of 2007.City of Los Angeles City Council File 07-1368, May 1, 2007. This date is also recognized as part of the Geek Pride Day celebration in conjunction with the Discworld and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fandoms.

Star Wars Home Page at UPenn

Star Wars Home Page at UPenn was Star Wars website created by a University of Pennsylvania student named Jason Ruspini in 1994.
The site was often called "the unofficial "Star Wars Home Page." It is unknown if this was by the webmaster or other fans. 
The page was very popular and sometimes received over 40,000 hits a day. 
It got a LOT of press attention from major newspapers, as well as Wired Magazine, something that both garnered fans, but also attention from Lucasfilm.
 
==A Site Description==
From a Washington Post article, undated:
==Subject of Legal Action==
The site attracted the attention of Lucasfilm, and because of this, received some sort of a cease and desist. 
On April 13, 1996, Lucasfilm contacted Ruspini: 
When Ruspini then posted excerpts from the communication with Lucasfilm on his site, fellow fans grew angry and flooded the company with thousands of emails. In May, Lucasfilm issued the following statement:
