Star Wars: A New Hope was released in 1977. The first film of George Lucas' trilogies was the most successful in American history and grossed over $290 million. Sequels released in 1980 and 1983 were equally successful. The films captured their imagination and paved the way for the merchandising that accompanies many films today. A whole host of toy figures, spacecrafts and toy guns were available, as well as costumes, stationery, bedroom accessories and slippers.
Jar Jar Binks first appears in 'Episode 1: The Phantom Menace', the 1999 film. His main role was to provide comic relief and he is almost completely computer generated.
