"Star Wars" is not a child born with a golden spoon. At first glance, it does not have the potential to become popular. The four words "Star Wars" can't be straightforward and simple, and the elements of the film are also very traditional in the science fiction world: planets, spaceships, warriors, robots, aliens.

He wanted to put his childhood favorite comic "The Flying Man Gordon" on the screen, but he could not get the authorization, so he decided to write an original script of his own.

In March 1976, the script was officially completed, and the film began shooting immediately. Everyone knows the later story.
