When you're discussing Jedi, Death Stars, and Ewoks, SW stands for "Star Wars." The Star Wars saga began in 1977, when the original film appeared in theaters, and continues to this day in new movies, TV shows, books, and video games.
SW fans of all stripes might abbreviate Star Wars as SW. For example, a gamer might ask whether you're going to purchase the latest SW video game, while a Disney+ subscriber might ask how you feel about The Mandalorian and other SW shows.
Many more-specific Star Wars acronyms also use SW to stand for Star Wars. Those who love the Star Wars expanded universe, for instance, may shorten that phrase to SWEU, while those who enjoy Star Wars: The Old Republic may refer to that game as SWTOR.
