Harry James Potter is 11 years old when his story is first told. Luke Skywalker is 19 years old when his story is first told. Two iconic fantasy and science-fiction protagonists. Everybody knows that all stories have some sort of structure - there’s an introduction, a problem, multiple story arcs, and much, much more, however, the Harry Potter series and the Star Wars series are extremely similar, especially since the sad truth is that Luke’s and Harry’s stories that aren’t so unique after all.

The saga’s brand consistently finds a place in the top five licensed toy brands each year, according to NPD Group (Ames).” This shows that the franchise has grown into one of the largest players in toy sales as well as revenue product. Other toy brands ranking high up include Lego, Nerf, Nintendo, Mattel, Hasbro, and Kenner. It is evident that when a single franchise, Star Wars, is available in every single one of these big name players in some form, that the franchise holds one of the largest impacts on society.

** MAJOR UPDATE: 2 BRAND-NEW WORLDS LOADED WITH ACTIVITY, LEGENDARY ROOM BATTLES AND ALSO EVEN MORE ***.

The first time, I saw The Phantom Menace, I did not think, "this is bad." My opinion will seem to be in the minority, but let me set this up. I was 5 when I first saw Star Wars. So, The Phantom Menace was the first modern Star Wars movie I had look forward to see as an adult. I waited overnight in line to get tickets. The Star Wars opening crawl was amazing to see again. Then the movie opened with TWO Jedi with their light sabers. Both actors will were well known and did a good job with their parts. Then there was a bunch of stuff in the middle of the movie. Finally, the two Jedi had our first Light Saber battle of the modern era using modern effects. Add an amazing musical piece, (Duel of the Fates) and you get some of the most amazing Star

Star Wars was successful in this aspect because of the light-saber, and Darth Vader costumes- both of which are unmistakably recognizable. However, putting merchandise on the market is not a matter of just creating a unique product. There is an entire process that goes into the selling of merchandise. As A matter of fact, the studio that produced the movie does not have that much involvement in what the final product put on the market is. All they have to do, is have enough money to get companies to produce merchandise for them.

It's kinda funny, I've literally never seen any of the Star Wars movies. A lot of my friends rant and rave about it, and here I am completely oblivious to what they are so intrigued by. I like how you pointed out the advertisement aspect of the movie industry. A decent percentage of sales is actual merchandise. Although I've never seen the series, I still own a star wars coffee mug. The people in charge of marketing were able to appeal to a broader

There are many debates about which is better, Harry Potter or The Lord of The Rings. I found some over the movies and some over the books but a lot of arguing, debating, and disagreements. I saw good reasoning and some not so much but The Lord of The Rings is more popular from all the information that I saw. Personally I think The Lord of The Rings is better that Harry Potter and more amusing. The only thing I would like more about the Harry Potter series is that the magic and special affects are better but that's it. There a lot of different websites that debate this subject and argue but I haven't found any conclusions over this subject. The closest things I found was percentage bars and pie charts. But overall I saw that The Lord of The
