Star Wars Saga: It's really simple. In a galaxy far, far away, there was the Evil Empire. That enslaved and took over many worlds. There was an evil emperior. A resistance was formed to combat this empire from taking over all the galaxies in the universes. An ancient cult called Jedi was the most successful at thwarting this threat to all worlds. Governments formed to defeat the evil empire with the help of Jedi members. As hundreds of years passed only a few Jedi remained. Darth Vader was a Jedi at one time, but fell into the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Jedi are the Light Side of the force. These two warring factions have consequences. In between these two factions are smugglers who make money off either side. Then there were the mercenaries like Boba Fett who was a gun for hire. These wars went on for generations and generations, thousands of years much like the rule of Rome. There was a blackmarket run by smugglers who made money off anyone who needed anything, with no scrupples of whose side they would defend until the dark side decided they were enemies, too. Not much different than Flash Gordon saga.
