Star Wars gifts are still one of the most popular Christmas toys. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away a small science fiction movie was quietly sprung on an unsuspecting public and the future was forever changed. In May of 1978 the first of the Star Wars movies was released, and engendered a worldwide phenomenon that continues to this day. It's doubtful that there's anyone on the planet who doesn't know the story of Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader.
Even if there is someone, somewhere who hasn't seen at least one of the six Star Wars movies they would easily recognize the cultural connections the two Star Wars Triologies have made. Don't believe me? Go up to just about anyone, anywhere, and say "May the force be with you". You and your new friend will have made an instant connection over a point of reference that is shared by millions.
The attraction and continued popularity of the Star Wars movies lies in their themes of good versus evil and of ultimate redemption. George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, has consciously or not, tapped into subjects that appeal to everyone. No matter where you live, no matter your background, you can understand and empathize with Luke's journey into destiny, Darth Vader's slow corruption by power, his decent into evil and ultimate redemption and Obi Wan Kenobi's wisdom and sacrifice. The Star Wars story is one that has been told and re-told many times in many places and by many cultures.
