Historical Note
History of the Star Wars Films
Star Wars is an American film epic composed of nine films organized in three trilogies. The "original trilogy" follows the story of Luke Skywalker and consists of Star Wars (Lucas, Director, 1977), which is commonly subtitled Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope; Star
Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Kershner, Director, 1980); and Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi (Marquand, Director, 1983). The second "prequel trilogy" follows the story of Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker, in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (Lucas, Director, 1999), Star Wars
Episode II: Attack of the Clones (Lucas, Director, 2002), and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (Lucas, Director, 2005). The third or "sequel trilogy" begins with Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (Abrams, Director, 2015); the remaining two films have not been produced to date.
Writer, director, and producer George Lucas' (1944- ) earliest science-fiction film was a short titled, Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB (1967), which was written and directed while attending the University of Southern California. Lucas drafted a prologue for the Star Wars universe in
1973, called Journal of the Whills, which outlined the background history of the Star Wars story. In the preface to Star Wars Legends: Splinter of the Mind's Eye (1986), a science fiction novel written by Alan Dean Foster, Lucas said, "It wasn't long after I began writing Star Wars that I realized the story was
more than a single film could hold. As the saga of the Skywalkers and Jedi Knights unfolded, I began to see it as a tale that could take at least nine films to tell—three trilogies—and I realized, in making my way through the back story and after story, that I was really setting out to write the middle story." The middle story became the original trilogy.
Lucas described Star Wars as an "epic space opera", introducing fans to spectacular computer-generated special effects and heroic, mythical space adventures. Star Wars opened in 1977 and introduced groundbreaking storytelling and filmmaking techniques, including placing credits at the end of the film, using robots as fully developed characters, and producing the first film trilogy. Star Wars is noted by film historians as the first "blockbuster" science-fiction film, along with Jaws (Spielberg, Director, 1977), which began the practice of opening a film on many screens across the country at the same time, as opposed to releasing the films in "blocks" on different dates.
The marketing and consumer product campaign of the inaugural 1977 film was broader and more pervasive than any previous film promotions, expanding the practice of merchandising tie-ins and film promotions. Many people can identify characters and creatures whose names were never spoken in the film because of the marketing and consumer products.
Star Wars (1977) received seven Academy Awards for Best Set Decoration, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects and Best Original Score. Benjamin Burtt Jr. won a Special Achievement Award for sound effects for creation of the alien, creature and robot voices. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Kershner, Director, 1980) won two Academy Awards for
Best Sound and a Special Achievement Award presented to Brian Johnson, Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, and Bruce Nicholson for visual effects. Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (Marquand, Director, 1983) won an Academy Special Achievement Award, presented to Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, Ken Ralston and Phil Tippett for visual effects.
Donor Note
Nicholas A. Salerno, university professor and administrator, author and film critic said, "I fell in love with the series with the Empire Strikes Back. With that movie, the underpinnings of the myth fell into place. And then I went on a press junket and talked to the principals - Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher - and confirmed there was more to it than a shoot-em-up in space," in a 2005
interview for the Arizona Republic. Tickets from The Empire Strikes Back screening night at the Cine Capri Theatre in Phoenix are included in the collection. Salerno said the last item he donated to the ASU Libraries was a stuffed Chewbacca doll because he couldn't bear to part with it.
This collection houses Salerno's research gathered to support his scholarship and teaching, and primary source materials that Salerno has made available to other scholars. Salerno collected a wide variety of materials that document the production, publicity, exhibition and importance of Star Wars in popular culture.
Salerno was born June 21, 1936, in Chicago, Illinois. Early in his life his family moved to Arizona where he attended Phoenix Union High School, graduating in 1953. During his high school years he was strongly influenced by his English teachers. In 1957 he graduated from Arizona State College, later named Arizona State University, with a Bachelor of Arts in English, Journalism and History. He earned a Master of Arts from Arizona State University in 1959. In 1962, he obtained a Doctor
of Philosophy in Victorian Literature with a minor in Latin Language and Literature from Stanford University. Salerno's field of specialization was Victorian literature and his dissertation was Romantic Love in Victorian Poetry (1961). He published several literary anthologies, which have been used in many college classes.
Salerno started his academic teaching career at ASU in 1958 as an instructor and became a full professor in 1970. In 1983, he was appointed chairman of the Department of English. At ASU, Salerno taught classes in 19th century literature, composition, Latin, undergraduate and graduate literature survey courses, and film history. He is a recognized scholar on the 19th century artist and poet Aubrey Beardsley and has also published book reviews and articles on the Pre-Raphaelite
Brotherhood, the Victorian era and Shakespeare. Salerno received the ASU Distinguished Teacher Award in 1971 and the Distinguished Service Award in 1993. He retired from ASU in 1991 and is professor emeritus.
Salerno is a noted film scholar and critic, with hundreds of articles appearing in journals, magazines and newspapers, including American Film Institute Report, Film History, Moviegoer, Phoenix Magazine, the Los Angeles Times and the Scottsdale Progress. Salerno hosted the KAET Phoenix PBS television channel program Cinema Classics for ten years from 1973-1983. Salerno started the film program in the ASU Department of English, and hosted screenings of classic and foreign films in Neeb Hall. He also sponsored a student film club that regularly attended film screenings in the Valley.

Also of note are action figures in original packaging (Box 30).
Figures produced prior to release of the first film (1977) were sometimes identified using phoenetic spelling rather than alpha-numeric. Manufacturers used the phoenetic spelling found in the screenplay as their resource. The common alphanumeric spelling was used after 1977. Figures are labeled using the alphanumeric character name, which conforms to Library of Congress convention. Phoenetic names that appeared on the original packaging are documented in the notes for those
figures.
Duplicate figures may be from different manufacturers and may have noticeable production variations, e.g., face paint, hair color, skin color or paint precision. This series is arranged first numerically, then alphabetically by character name. Action figures that were donated with the playsets are in Box 30. Bulk dates are 1977-1984.

Darth Vader The Empire Strikes Back Collector Case, 1980 (15 3/4 Inch)
Includes Action Figure Identification Card; Pre-printed Action Figures Sticker Label Sheet. Holds 30 Action Figures. Manufactured by Kenner Products.
Series VI: Action Figures (Boxes 20-30, 1977-1996) contains 125 character action figures approximately 3 inches in height; and creatures and vehicles featured in the films. They were produced by Kenner Products. Of note are several rare action figures sold before the first film release in 1977. Many are fragile and have removable accessories, such as helmets and weapons. Accessories are housed with the associated action figure. Also of note are action figures in original
packaging (Box 30).
Figures produced prior to release of the first film (1977) were sometimes identified using phoenetic spelling rather than alpha-numeric. Manufacturers used the phoenetic spelling found in the screenplay as their resource. The common alphanumeric spelling was used after 1977. Figures are labeled using the alphanumeric character name, which conforms to Library of Congress convention. Phoenetic names that appeared on the original packaging are documented in the notes for those
figures.
Duplicate figures may be from different manufacturers and may have noticeable production variations, e.g., face paint, hair color, skin color or paint precision. This series is arranged first numerically, then alphabetically by character name. Box 29 contains action figures that Salerno displayed on playsets (Series IX) in his office. Bulk dates are 1977-1984.
