His head bobs up and down, shaking his long green alien braids. His foot appears to step forward, rattling his bronze belt. His mouth curls into a wide smile before devolving into a deep belly laugh. For a split second, it seems that this colorful horns-for-a-beard alien is flesh and blood. In DecemberYancey and others began visualizing, conceptualizing, and constructing Hondo. Hondo represents 55 years of animatronic evolution, beginning with pneumatic-controlled birds, graduating to hydraulic-powered former presidents then innovating to electrified wicked witches. Everything from beginning to end happens in this building. The first audio-animatronic, defined as a robot that pairs movement and audiodebuted in Disneyland in June While on vacation in New Orleans, legend has it that Walt Disney bought a caged mechanical bird and had Imagineer Wathel Rogers take it apart to see how it worked. The bird became the inspiration for the singing macaws at the Enchanted Tiki Room. They also used a magnetic tape system called the Digital Animation Control System DACSoriginally invented for nuclear weapon launch machineryto synchronize the movements with audio and music. A year later, Disney built its first human audio-animatronic: the more advanced mostly hydraulic President Abraham Lincoln. The result was a lifelike Lincolnwhich still gives history lessons to visitors at Disneyland to this day. Mounted on a wall is the lid of the crate The Best of Star Wars Insider: Volume 1 shipped Mr. Below that is one of the original macaws from the Enchanted Tiki Room. Together, they illustrate a huge leap forward for audio-animatronics. This became known as the A1 figure. These figures were built, customized, and installed in what are now iconic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion. While today many of The Best of Star Wars Insider: Volume 1 original A1 audio-animatronics have been refurbished with more advanced machinery, there are still a few left in both U. At Disneyland, a number of the pirates in the background are still A1s. Hayes or William Henry Harrison, who just stand there and nod, are also A1s. But A1 figures are heavy, bulky, and hard to adjust. A typical A1 figure was a fully functional generic humanoid but the The Best of Star Wars Insider: Volume 1 of functions was dependent on what version of head was installed. By the mids, Disney knew they needed to upgrade. Function stacking order was also improved, meaning how, when, and in what order different joints move. A shoulder is affected by a head function. But simple things like day-to-day maintenance also needed improvements. With more audio-animatronics, Disney needed better ways The Best of Star Wars Insider: Volume 1 keep them all running. Soon parts became replaceable and engineers limited movements so certain actions only wore on replaceable joints. This made it possible for the audio-animatronics to be easily maintained for years. While the attraction has since shutteredher movements and evil cackling were creepily lifelike. Like the A1, the A is really a tool kit allowing engineers and builders to use certain components as needed, and there are still plenty of fully functional A in the parks today. Sincethe A has been adapted to meet changing needs and technologies. The one drawback of electric is that it requires a good deal of internal structures, cables, and motors. So smaller characters, like Elsa in the Frozen Ever After ride at Epcot, can be particularly challenging. But tough tasks breed creative solutions. Work on the next evolutionary step in audio- animatronics—the A—was already in motion so to speak before the Star Wars attraction announcement. Yancey and Thomas say their team were working on eight different sizes of A for about a year before being asked to take what they learned and apply it to creating customized Star Wars figures. It was perfect timing. The goal of the A program was to create a family of standardized electric figures that provides more control and design repeatability for both build and maintenance purposes. So Disney pioneered proprietary software programs that provide predictive renderings and pre-visualizations that assist in everything from seeing how a figure moves in a costume to predicting when components need replacing. But the ultimate goal is to get as close a lifelike performance as possible. Enter: Hondo Ohnaka. He has 51 total functions, including ten in his head alone—a big evolution from its A1 ancestor. Imagineers in California worked alongside engineers and designers in Florida to develop these new A figures. Type keyword s to search. Today's Top Stories.

But with a patience and good fortune, unopened year-old Star Wars toys now fetch eye-watering prices. While some of the prices listed are for the most exclusive pieces, Star Wars collecting is big business. Our first figure is a bit of an exception compared to others on this list because it was never actually available for sale. Because of a safety issue with a missile-firing Battlestar Galactica toy inKenner decided scrap its design for a rocket-firing Boba Fett. Fortunately, some forward-thinking Kenner employees snagged the pre-production models. Now, these figures are often referred to as the "Holy Grail" of Star Wars collecting. While the ultra-rare "Rocket" Fett never reached production, this Obi-Wan action figure definitely did. With its double-telescoping lightsaber which Kenner swiftly abandonedthis Kenobi is only one of a select few that survive in box. He was part of a planned second series of Droids action figures by Kenner, but the line was canceled before he could be released. A few years later, a Brazil company purchased the rights to some of the scrapped toys and produced and sold them exclusively in Brazil—making him ultra rare in the U. Part of the first run of action figures by Kenner, what makes this little guy so rare is that the company changed the cape from vinyl to cotton early on in the release. Kenner decided people would want something a little higher quality to justify paying the same price for a smaller figure. The double-telescope was so delicate that Kenner decided to change it before the product shipped, making even loose figures with the feature a rarity. Because of the mystique surrounding his character, Boba Fett, in any iteration, is a popular and sought-after character. Released by Kenner, where else could you get three baddies in one place? The package design is slick and fits in perfectly with the original figures, making it rare and iconic in pristine condition. Because of the lack of time between when the deal was made and the movie was released, no toys were ready for Christmas Nostalgia is high for this one, and to find one complete and in good condition hikes up the price. Also included in the first run of figures by Kenner, this background character hit the list because like the vinyl Jawa, he underwent a noticeable change.

  • Be Mindful of the Future: Information and Knowledge Management in Star Wars Tie-In Fiction
    Volume 13 Spring 2017 djim.management.dal.ca | Be mindful of the future: information and knowledge management in Star Wars tie-in fiction Diana Castillo School of Information Management, Dalhousie University Abstract In the last fifty years, media franchises have been using tie-in fiction to expand their universes and tell stories outside the main source material. This paper examines how information management is used specifically in Star Wars tie-in fiction and its recent transition to using knowledge management. To start, this paper looks at the history of tie-in fiction from its roots in the 1960s to the modern day, before transitioning to the role of brand managers and editors as information managers. Then, this paper documents the history of Star Wars tie-in fiction and how information management strategies were implemented through 2014 and how it impacted the franchise’s internal continuity. Finally, this paper examines the recent move towards a unified canon and how this shift towards knowledge management has impacted storytelling. This paper concludes that while it is too early to evaluate its results, Star Wars was uniquely situated among franchises to move towards knowledge management through its prior information management efforts. Introduction universes and tell stories they may not be able to tell otherwise. Creating a well-run line In today’s entertainment environment, of tie-in fiction requires coordination between popular franchises are rarely limited to one authors, publishing houses, and the licensing type of media. They license their products company through information management. across various different formats to engage In the context of this paper, information fans and expand their footprint in popular management is defined as working with culture as much as possible.

  • “Millions of Voices: Star Wars, Digital Games, Fictional Worlds, and Franchise Canon” Felan Parker
    “Millions of Voices: Star Wars, Digital Games, Fictional Worlds, and Franchise Canon” Felan Parker (Published in Game on, Hollywood! Essays on the Intersection of Video Games and Cinema. Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland, 2013.) “I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.” —Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope In today’s media landscape of conglomeration and convergence, one of the major discourses in and about transmedia franchises is one of canon. If a story develops across multiple media, what is essential to the cosmology of the franchise? Which aspects of it are authentic? What is consistent across multiple texts? When do franchise texts count as legitimate and canonical, and when are they secondary or peripheral? The industry, franchise producers, critics and fans attend closely to such questions throughout the development and reception of franchise texts or products. As one of the most prominent and popular transmedia franchises, Star Wars offers a rich field to study discourses and practices of canon, to tease out its implications, and to reconsider its terms. Like other franchises with active fan communities, the Star Wars franchise has come to be defined by its emphasis on a singular, cohesive canon and fictional universe. Through various ‘official’ and ‘unofficial’ articulations of this canon, and the attendant debates, a multiplicity of seemingly unified visions of the Star Wars universe are, and have been, articulated. Since the 1982 release of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back for the Atari 2600, digital games have played an increasingly central role in the Star Wars franchise, as the medium has come into own as a cultural form.

Here, you‘ll find the answer to that query. This file, the Appendices, features numerous small sections, featuring topics ranging from G-Canon, T-Canon, and Apocryphal (N-Canon) timelines, a release timeline for ―real world‖ Star Wars materials, information relating to the Star Wars Timeline Project‘s growth, and more. This was the fourth file created for the Star Wars Timeline Gold. The project originally began as the primary document with the Official Continuity Timeline, then later spawned a Fan Fiction Supplement (now discontinued) and an Apocrypha Supplement (now merged into this file). The Appendices came next, but with its wide array of different features, it has survived to stand on its own alongside the primary document and continues to do so alongside the newer Clone Wars Supplement. I hope you find your time spent reading through it well spent.
