Star Wars (term)

The term 'Star Wars' was often used by many individuals to refer to all events, primarily wars and political discourse, taking place throughout the galactic community (a term used to denote the parts of the galaxy that were partially or fully aware of other events taking place on an interstellar scale). Many historians also mistook the term for a specific pan-galactic conflict, and as such in later years, the term 'Star Wars' was used in collective reference to the Clone Wars, Imperial Period conflicts, and subsequent Galactic Civil War.
