Star Wars

The Star Wars Saga (1977-)

Star Wars is a long-running space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began from the 1977 film Star Wars (retroactively retitled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope) directed by Lucas. Following the release of the original six films, Lucasfilm would then be acquired by the Disney Corporation, which would subsequently release three more feature films (aka the Sequel Trilogy), following the saga of the Skywalker family, and numerous "spinoff" feature films, in addition to several live action series released to their streaming service Disney+.

The Star Wars franchise features a variety of fictional "blaster" energy weapons and a small number of gun-type projectile weapons. The majority of the fictional weapon designs in the franchise are in fact based on real-world gun models, usually featuring "sci-fi" visual modifications called "greebles", as Lucas was determined that the universe he envisioned would have a "lived-in" look to it.

Fictional gun model names given on Star Wars media pages are usually sourced from franchise supplementary materials, as the mainline Star Wars media (the film series in particular) rarely went into detail about the guns' background lore.
