- Zusatztext
- <p>While previous work on the&nbsp;<i>Star Wars&nbsp;</i>universe charts the Campbellian mythic arcs, political representations, and fan reactions associated with the films, this volume&nbsp;takes a transmedial approach to the material, recognizing that&nbsp;<i>Star Wars&nbsp;</i>TV projects interact with and relate to other&nbsp;<i>Star Wars</i>&nbsp;texts. The chapters in this volume take as a basic premise that the televisual entrants into the&nbsp;<i>Star Wars</i>&nbsp;transmedia storyworld are both important texts in the history of popular culture and also key to understanding how the&nbsp;<i>Star Wars&nbsp;</i>franchiseand, thus, industry-wide transmedia storytelling strategiesdeveloped. The book expands previous work to consider television studies and sharp cultural criticism together in an effort to bring both long-running popular series, long-ignored texts, and even toy commercials to bear on the franchises complex history.<br></p>
