What If Star Wars Was Only The Original Trilogy?

Every film in the Star Wars franchise holds some merit in one regard or another, but whether their stories all contribute something worthwhile to the universe or not is debatable to fans. Because the original trilogy is so often the series of films that fans enjoy most, many have questioned if it was even worth it to make any of the other movies.

Certainly, with a franchise as large and popular as Star Wars, money is at the forefront of the makers’ minds when creating the six films of the prequel and sequel trilogies. However, there are many elements of these six films that do contribute other essential aspects to the universe, other than just more story. They expand upon the lore, provide new avenues for different people to explore science fiction, and keep the legacy of Star Wars from dying out. That is, perhaps, what some of the creative minds involved in these movies were focused on.

Though the storylines that made up the original trilogy were most preferred among fans, there were also several elements missing from these movies that fans wanted to see more of. Some examples are diversity, new characters, and more empowering female roles. All of these lacking features were then applied to the later films to create a fuller, more rounded world that appealed to a broader audience. Of course, Disney later coming into possession of the franchise was a large part of its revival. It also allowed the franchise to keep producing content that expanded on the universe and kept it relevant.

If only the original trilogy existed, which was made in the late 70s and early 80s, then the franchise would possibly be much less relevant in today’s pop culture. Younger
