It should be noted that 2017 might have been the biggest year for Star Wars since Disney purchased Lucasfilm over five years ago.

The house that George built came off a wave of buzz after its first spinoff movie released to critical acclaim and box office success, though it was hampered with the passing of Carrie Fisher. But Star Wars managed to rebound, continually dominating the headlines for both good and bad reasons.

Kathleen Kennedy has kept a clear head in guiding the franchise forward, maintaining a dominant presence in film, television, and expanding outward to different mediums. And yet, the year was not without controversies — multiple controversies, when it comes to movies and video games.  But Star Wars continues to maintain a foothold in geek culture, and appears poised to do so well into the future.
