Which company published the original Star Wars edition of Monopoly in 1997?

The story behind the answer

Parker Brothers published the original Star Wars edition of Monopoly in 1997.

The licensed game adapted the classic property-trading format to the Star Wars universe. Instead of buying conventional streets, players acquired locations and characters associated with the original trilogy, while the board and components used Star Wars artwork and terminology.

Parker Brothers was a major American board-game publisher and was part of Hasbro during the period when the Star Wars edition appeared. This connection can cause confusion because Hasbro is often listed as the modern corporate owner, while Parker Brothers was the publishing brand printed on many classic editions.

Star Wars Monopoly was one of numerous licensed versions of Monopoly. Later editions changed the featured characters, films, spaces, and rules, so the 1997 original should not be conflated with newer editions based on the prequel or sequel trilogies.
