It was 1977 when the first Star Wars film A New Hope was released and the entire world got hooked on the stories from a galaxy far, far away. Now, almost a half-century later, the pop culture franchise is still going strong with the release of the latest Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+.
The Star Wars saga reportedly has an estimated total value of US$70 billion and currently ranks fifth as the highest-grossing franchise of all time. So it should not come as a surprise that the cast members have also raked in fat pay cheques for their work on the franchise.
We take a look at the wealthiest cast members from the first three films and the 90s era to the latest instalments, ranked by their reported net worths, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Harrison Ford – US$300 million
For reprising his role as the iconic Han Solo in 2015’s The Force Awakens, Ford reportedly pocketed US$25 million in total earnings thanks to the small percentage of the box office gross deals he made with Disney. His current net worth stands at US$300 million.
Samuel L. Jackson – US$250 million
Jackson portrays Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and then reprised the role for animated works and other canon series such as video games.
