(CNN) "Star Wars" has earned billions at the box office, but in the "You can't have everything" department, hasn't won an Oscar since 1984 -- awards being a place where, to quote Yoda, size matters not. Notably, year-end critics awards and best lists that have been assembled didn't have the luxury of seeing the latest "Star Wars" movie, which hits theaters on Thursday evening. The original "Star Wars," later subtitled "A New Hope," garnered 10 nominations in 1978, including one for best picture and the only acting nod in the franchise's history, for Alec Guinness in the supporting role of Obi-Wan Kenobi. No "Star Wars" movie has been nominated for best picture since, and the last Oscar win of any kind was a special achievement in visual effects award for "Return of the Jedi," released in 1983. "The Empire Strikes Back" also garnered an Oscar for that, as well as best sound.
