Total war is a conflict of unlimited scope in which a faction mobilizes all available resources in order to destroy their rivalries ability to defend themselves.
The first documented total war was the Peloponnesian War, as described by the historian Thucydides. This war was fought between Athens and Sparta between 431 and 404 BC. Previously, Greek warfare was a limited and ritualized form of conflict. Armies of hoplites would meet on the battlefield and decide the outcome in a single day. During the Peloponnesian War, however, the fighting lasted for years and consumed the economic resources of the participating city-states. Atrocities were committed on a scale never before seen, with entire populations being executed or sold into slavery, as in the case of the island of Melos. The aftermath of the war reshaped the Greek world, left much of the region in poverty, and reduced once influential Athens to a weakened state, from which it never completely recovered.

Groups of women (knowingly or unknowingly) competing in a war of sexual prowess by way of changing dress sense, hairstyles etc in order to impress or compete for potential mates or to raise their visual sex status.
"Hey did you see Katies sexy new hair cut at work today?"
"Yeah but looks like Laura has won the pussy wars today, as her titties are out a little bit with that top on"

These are Wars fought by blinded men who are led into killing their brothers by malevolent beings who tell their twisted narrated fallacies of who to hate & who to fear. These beings have lied to you fed off of you and leave you with worthless dross in return.

A series of Films that, over time, has appealed to generation after generation. Some argue that the newer additions to the franchise have cheapened and ruined it as a whole, its the fact that any one can put their little piece of history into it, that makes it so successful. While the story does have connectivity problems, which tends to happen when your story spans several thousand years, Its still a great story.
Weather you prefer the original Star Wars, and its two sequels with Its Great Story telling aspect, and classic lines like "Its a Trap!", The Prequel's, with the back story, dark tones, and stunning visuals (or just *sigh* Jar Jar Binks), Or, your a Fan of the 2008-2011 installment if Star Wars, The Clone wars, with Ahsoka Tano, the apprentice of the future Dark Lord, Star Wars has something for everyone.
*Side note* Mostly gains attention of "non viewers" By using sexy female aliens, such as Twi'lek's or Togruta's to hook the viewer so he or she can watch the story. Ex. Princess Leia from ep 4-6, Padme Amidala from ep 1-3, Ahsoka Tano, Aayla Secura for the 2008-2011 Clone Wars television series, And Darth Talon, from the Legacy Era.
