Finding the Force of the Star Wars Franchise by Matthew Wilhelm Kapell
In 1977 a single film called Star Warsexploded on the consciousness of the world. Since then the franchise, created by George Lucas, has become a global entertainment corporation. The merchandise of the original trilogy was largely confined to toys and games, but those games have since become computerized, the toys more sophisticated, and Star Warshas moved into the multi-media environment of the twenty-first century in ways unimaginable in the long-ago world of 1977. Computer games and web sites, novels, animated television shows, as well as a new trilogy of films, have all placed Star Warsat the center of world popular culture.Finding the Force of the Star Wars Franchise brings together contributors who critically analyze the Star Warsuniverse from many perspectives. Topics include war, foreign policy, gender roles, spirituality and religion, toy play and adult collecting, creative fandom, race, special effects, and mythology.
