* The 47 variations listed here include prequels, spin-offs, and films that reference the trilogy in title but not storyline. There are doubtless numerous omissions (such as Chinese language role-playing videogames) due to searches being confined to English and romanised Chinese (Mandarin pinyin and Cantonese jyutping).
