    TRANSMEDIA Edited by Sean Guynes and Dan Hassler-Forest STAR WARS and the History of Transmedia Storytelling Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling Transmedia: Participatory Culture and Media Convergence The book series Transmedia: Participatory Culture and Media Convergence provides a platform for cutting-edge research in the field of media studies, with a strong focus on the impact of digitization, globalization, and fan culture. The series is dedicated to publishing the highest-quality monographs (and exceptional edited collections) on the developing social, cultural, and economic practices surrounding media convergence and audience participation. The term ‘media convergence’ relates to the complex ways in which the production, distribution, and consumption of contemporary media are affected by digitization, while ‘participatory culture’ refers to the changing relationship between media producers and their audiences. Interdisciplinary by its very definition, the series will provide a publishing platform for international scholars doing new and critical research in relevant fields. While the main focus will be on contemporary media culture, the series is also open to research that focuses on the historical forebears of digital convergence culture, including histories of fandom, cross- and transmedia franchises, reception studies and audience ethnographies, and critical approaches to the culture industry and commodity culture.

  • Recording Star Wars Phantom Menace Issue 6
    Richard Buskin talks with co-supervising sound editor Tom Bellfort, scoring and re-recording mixer Sean Murphy, Foley artist Dennie Thorpe, effects mixer Gary Rydstrom, and assistant supervising sound editor Matt Wood about their work on the new Star Wars prequel. long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...’ As these seemingly innocuous words moved purposefully onto cinema screens 22 years ago, few predicted the ‘A Star Wars phenomenon that would ensue. Two follow up films, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and a trio of Special Editions have set the bench mark from which all the numerous effects-based extravaganzas that resulted would be judged. Now, over two decades and a couple of generations later, director George Lucas has decided to dig deeper into the goldmine by way of a series of three prequels. The Phantom Menace takes us back [even longer ago in a galaxy even further away? – CH], reacquainting us with a unnervingly fresh faced Darth Vader, and a youthful knight by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi, while involving us in more pan-galactic feuding. Ah yes, for fans of the series this new instalment certainly amounts to another dose of the usual fun. Screen Rolls Shot during the summer of 1997 at Leavesden Studios – a former Rolls-Royce factory in England which was converted to 10 sound stages and 60 sets – Episode 1: The Phantom Menace also made use of locations such as the Caserta Royal Palace near Naples and the Tunisian Sahara Desert before returning to Leavesden in the early autumn.

  • Sideshow Collectibles Expands the Star Wars Universe with 12-Inch Star Wars Action Figures
    SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES EXPANDS THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE WITH 12-INCH STAR WARS ACTION FIGURES SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES JOINS WITH HASBRO AND LUCASFILM LTD. Westlake Village, CA - July 14th, 2005 - Sideshow Collectibles announced today the acquisition of the license to manufacture and distribute a line of 12-inch Star Wars action figures. Sideshow plans to provide details of the product line later in 2005 via www.SideshowCollectibles.com, but collectors can look forward to the new 12-inch figures hitting store shelves (and online) in mid 2006. “We are excited to expand our relationship with Lucasfilm, and to begin working with Hasbro,” said Greg Anzalone, CEO of Sideshow Collectibles. “As dedicated fans of both the Star Wars saga and the previous Hasbro product, we aspire to bring a new level of detail and authenticity to the 12-inch figure category.” Kenner, a division of Hasbro, first introduced 12-inch Star Wars figures in 1978. Hasbro reintroduced the format in 1996, producing updated versions of classic characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Vader. “Over the last 10 years, we’ve produced over 150 different 12-inch Star Wars figures,” said Derryl DePriest, Hasbro’s Director of Marketing for the Star Wars brand. “We have chosen Sideshow to carry the torch because they have an unparalleled reputation for producing quality limited edition 12-inch figures.” Sideshow Collectibles announced the 12-inch figure license on the one-year anniversary of the premiere of Sideshow’s first Star Wars offerings. Sideshow began solicitations for a line of high-end Premium Format ¼ Scale Figures at the San Diego Comic-Con International show in July of 2004.
