Han Solo's solo outing, which stars Alden Ehrenreich as the character first brought to life by Harrison Ford, earned a mere $393.1 million globally. That, coupled with a troubled production, which saw Ron Howard take over as director more than halfway through the shoot, proved to be a recipe for disaster. Solo: A Star Wars Story was released in May 2018, just a handful of months after the release of The Last Jedi, which proved to be the most divisive entry in the history of the franchise. This is truly the only failure, relatively speaking, when it comes to live-action Star Wars movies. However, it did serve as the humble start to a show that became a pillar of the Star Wars universe.

Unfortunately, those first few episodes were rough. The first several episodes of the Cartoon Network series, which went on to have an incredibly successful run, were repurposed as a feature-length movie that made its way to theaters.

Since its inception, the Star Wars franchise has grossed more than $10 billion at the global box office. That's exactly why Disney paid $4.05 billion to purchase Lucasfilm in 2012. It also happens to be, unsurprisingly, one of the most financially successful.

From A New Hope to The Mandalorian, George Lucas' beloved creation has entertained generations and inspired one of the most sprawling franchises in history. Star Wars for more than 40 years, has been an enduring force within the pop culture landscape.
