    Star Wars remains one of history's most popular film series. It's a classic saga of good versus bad in a galaxy far, far away. Episodes I, II and III trace the fall of the noble Republic to the evil Empire, while Episodes IV, V and VI follow the scrappy Rebel Alliance fighting to end imperial rule. Star Wars inspired numerous Hallmark ornaments based on characters from the first six movies.
