Overall Resolution:
The overarching message of Star Wars is that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. The story demonstrates the triumph of good over evil, the importance of choosing the right path, and the power of love and redemption.
While each trilogy has its own climax and resolution, the overarching message of the saga is a constant throughout its many stories.
