History

Historical Context

George Lucas released *The Empire Strikes Back* on May 21 1980; the sequel earned about $401 million worldwide and showed that a darker middle chapter could boost franchise growth. After Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012, the studio applied that model to launch new Star Wars series on Disney+, extending the saga into streaming.
