Fans of the "Star Wars" franchise lucky enough to have watched the first film, "Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope," in 1977 likely found it hard to believe the franchise would become a global phenomenon four decades later.

To mark the unofficial Star Wars Day of celebration on Thursday, aptly named May the Fourth Be With You, here is a look at how every film in the franchise performed.

Adjusted for ticket price inflation, every "Star Wars" film grossed a combined $6.602 billion, or $3.73 billion unadjusted.
