  • 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.

The Trinity Papers (2011 - present) (2016). Trinity College Digital Repository, Hartford, CT. https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/trinitypapers/45 The Jedi of Japan David Linden The West’s image today of the Japanese samurai derives in large part from the works of Japanese film directors whose careers flourished in the period after the Second World War. Foremost amongst these directors was Akira Kurosawa and it is from his films that Western audiences grew to appreciate Japanese warriors and the main heroes and villains in the Star Wars franchise were eventually born. George Lucas and the first six films of the Star Wars franchise draw heavily from Kurosawa’s films, the role of the samurai in Japanese culture, and Bushido—their code. In his book, The Samurai Films of Akira Kurosawa, David Desser explains how Kurosawa himself was heavily influenced by Western culture and motifs and this is reflected in his own samurai films which “embod[y] the tensions between Japanese culture and the new American ways of the occupation” (Desser. 4). As his directorial style matured during the late forties, Kurosawa closely examined Western films and themes such as those of John Ford, and sought to apply the same themes, techniques and character development to Japanese films and traditions.

  • QUEST 2: Clone Armies ORIGINS – Genes
    ORIGINS – Genes QUEST 2: Clone armies Teacher notes Curriculum links: English, Drama, Maths Key Stage: Key Stage 2 Zone Relevance: Origins Aim: This activity looks at the concept of cloning. It requires pupils to think about the implications of cloning. It is a sophisticated concept which is better suited to high ability pupils and older year groups. Background: The stormtroopers are clones of Jango Fett, who was a bounty hunter killed by Jedi Master, Mace Windu. One of his clones, which he raises as his son (Boba Fett) also rises to be a bounty hunter, and captures Han Solo for Jabba the Hutt. Although he doesn’t have many lines or scenes in the films, Boba Fett developed a considerable cult following. The clone troopers were cloned for one purpose, to be an army that copied the qualities of a bounty hunter: agility, problem solving, and coordination, while being able to be controlled and loyal to the commands of their master. What is cloning? Cloning is the creation of an organism that is genetically identical to another organism. The cloning that is used to create the clone army in Star Wars is a technological process in which an individual is grown using the genetic material of another individual. This process has been done by scientists here on Earth. In 1997, Dolly the Sheep was cloned from the genetic material of another sheep. Since this breakthrough scientists have used this technology to clone other animals. Some plant species can also produce clones by creating runners or seeds that grow into new organisms that are genetically identical to the parent individual.
