To sign 'Star Wars', combine the signs for 'star' and 'war'. First, point both index fingers up and alternate brushing the sides of your fingers against each other while moving your hands slightly upward. Then, change both hands to open, slightly curved 'claw' shapes and move them back and forth past each other horizontally, as if showing two sides clashing.
Sign 'I', 'LOVE', and 'WATCH', then use the compound sign for 'STAR WARS', followed by the sign for 'MOVIE'.
Sign 'YOUR', 'FAVORITE', 'STAR WARS', and 'CHARACTER', then sign 'WHO' while furrowing your eyebrows to indicate a 'wh-' question.
Sign 'WE', 'GO', 'STAR WARS', and then 'CONVENTION', keeping the transition between the signs smooth and fluid.

Yes, because it literally translates to the individual words 'star' and 'war', it could technically mean a literal war in the stars. However, in everyday conversation, it is almost exclusively recognized as the title of the sci-fi franchise.
The curved, claw-like handshape is used to represent opposing forces, armies, or beasts. Moving these clawed hands back and forth past each other visually shows the ongoing clash and conflict between the two sides.
