Star Wars was a highly popular science fiction franchise in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Mrs. Davis, the counselor at Lewis Elementary School in 2003, did not know the difference between Star Wars and another similarly named science fiction franchise of the same period. (TOS short story: "Make-Believe")

Conceived at the height of the film series' popularity, the Strategic Defense Initiative, a largely orbital anti-nuclear defensive weapon system implemented by the United States in the late 20th century, was often colloquially referred to as "Star Wars".
