 Star Wars | The World of Star Wars
Star Wars stands out among all movie franchises for several reasons, but the most distinguishing quality of the series may be the fact that George Lucas began developing the original movie in the 1970s, about 30 years ago.
Star Wars has a beginning and an ending point, although neither was clear to audiences when the first movie was released in 1977.
From the opening crawler, which provided the audience with a few background details, thus setting the stage for the opening scene, to the constant changes in direction of the plot, and even the stereotyped good-guys-wear-white/bad-guys-wear-fl motif, experienced audiences understood that a continuing story was unfolding before their eyes.

 Star -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy
Most stars fall on a well-defined region known as the main sequence when plotted on a so-called Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which plots luminosity vs. temperature (or equivalently, color).
The composition of a star places it in what is known as a stellar population, with stars having a high content of heavy elements (collectively termed "metals" by astronomer) known as population I, and stars having a low metal content known as population II.
Stars are divided into spectral classes based on their optical spectra, which are in turn related to their surface temperatures.

 GamingWorld X - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Review
The Star Wars licence has always offered a deep well of history and storyline for those companies blessed with the ability to create a game based on the George Lucas creation, but it’s a well that’s rarely been drawn from with any success.
A considerable amount of art resources are devoted to the creatures, with both bump and environment mapping are used to good effect, leaving their skin or hide appearing shiny with…well, whatever aliens sweat I suppose.
The vocal work, aside from being delivered in quantity, is also quality, with alien races speaking the languages heard in the movies (their dialogue displays simultaneously in text form), and the actors filling human roles doing a believable job of conveying emotions.
