The Star Wars film series comprises six feature films. These six films, which make a hexology, are generally split into two trilogies: The "original trilogy" of Episodes IV?VI (released between 1977 and 1983) and the "prequel trilogy" of Episodes I?III (released between 1999 and 2005). The Star Wars film series was shot in an original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The "original trilogy" was shot with anamorphic lenses (Episodes IV and V were shot in Panavision, while Episode VI was shot in J.D.C. scope), while Episode I was shot in Arriscope film format, and Episodes II and III were shot with Sony's CineAlta high-definition digital camera. The films, which are generally centered around the Skywalker family, deal with a series of personal and intragalactic wars that have a major impact on the fate of the Star Wars galaxy.
