It started off as a silly little science-fantasy film whose creator thought it would flop. But with its story of a farm boy who answered a greater calling, a princess in the clutches of evil, a cynical space smuggler with a beastly first mate, and a tug of war between a liberal-democratic Rebellion and a tyrannical, galaxy-spanning Empire, Star Wars generated a box-office blowout that made it one of the most iconic movies in American history.
Not only has its success spawned two more films as well as a Prequel and Sequel Trilogy since then, Star Wars has also come to encompass an array of comics, novels, encyclopedias, games, toys, and other media to keep its large fan base occupied forty-plus years after its original release. So, with the vast breadth of media under its belt and its sheer influence on pop culture still at play in 2020, it warrants the question: what if Star Wars were never released?
