Aside from the original release in 1977, he re-released it once in 1982 and again in 1997 as a re-edited and digitally enhanced "special edition." Lucas did the same for the 1980 The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Return of the Jedi. Over the course of 28 years, those films and their modern counterparts, The Phantom Menace from 1999, Attack of the Clones from 2002, and Revenge of the Sith from 2005, have grossed $6.52 billion globally when adjusted for inflation. Assuming an average ticket price of $6.25, that would buy more than a billion movie tickets--enough for every person in the U.S. to see it three times.
