10 Reasons Why Star Wars Is One of The Best Movie Franchises

04 May 2026 #misc

To warm up my idea muscles and celebrate May 4th, here’s why Star Wars is the best saga:

#1. A proven story. A constant fight between good and evil, light and darkness, bright side and dark side. We see that in almost all religions.

#2. Full of action, alien species, locations, futuristic weapons. You’d never imagine how diverse life is in a galaxy far, far away.

3. A story for all family members. It’s a war saga, but no matter the battles, treason, and plots, there’s no blood or sex on screen.

#4. Well-known cast. I only imagine our moms and aunts’ generation going crazy seeing Harrison Ford on the screen in the original trilogy. Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Liam Neesson…

#5. Legendary quotes that became part of the pop culture. “May the Force be with you,” “Do or do not. There’s no try.” Even I’ve adopted one Star Wars line as a mantra…and couldn’t help but include some references in my books.

#6. Reflection of human nature. With the right or wrong motivations, we could become what we fight. The fear of losing a loved one turned Anakin into a cruel being. I mean, executing Order 66 without hesitation?!

#7. The best and cruelest of all villains. Even if you haven’t seen the movies, you know about Darth Vader.

His mysterious suit, his breathing sound, his tone of voice, his motivations, his ruthless methods make him terrifying. “Be careful not to choke on your own aspirations…“ right after choking someone? The best villain.

By the way, here’s what I’d write if I were Darth Vader brand strategist.

#8. The most iconic plot twist in the history of cinema. “No…I am your father.” Toy Story made a parody and The Simpsons made fun of that scene.

#9. More than a trilogy. It’s such a great story that has given birth to prequels, sequels, spin-offs, videogames, animated movies, comics. If you’re a fan, you’ll never get bored of Star Wars.

#10. Grogu and Mando. Whoever came up with the idea of a cute, baby Yoda is a genius. I bet they should already have a good raise or stock package. Mandalorian has brought new fans to the saga. “This is the way!”
