Transmedia Star Wars H-PCAACA Call for Chapters: Transmedia Star Wars Discussion published by Sean Guynes on Tuesday, September 6, 2016 CALL FOR CHAPTERS: Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling Edited by Sean A. Guynes and Dan Hassler-Forest We seek chapter proposals for a volume titledStar Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling, which aims to provide an account of the history of the franchise, its transmedia storytelling and world-building strategies, and the consumer practices that have engaged with, contributed to, and sometimes also challenged the development of theStar Wars franchise. We aim to have the collection in print by 2017, the year that marks the 40th anniversary of the first Star Wars film’s release. In those forty years, its narrative, its characters, and its fictional universe have gone far beyond the original film and have spread rapidly across multiple media—including television, books, games, comics, toys, fashion, and theme parks—to become the most lucrative franchise in the current media landscape, recently valued by Forbes at roughly $10 billion. A key goal of this project is to highlight the role and influence ofStar Wars in pushing the boundaries of transmedia storytelling by making world-building a cornerstone of media franchises since the late 1970s. The chapters in this collection will ultimately demonstrate that Star Wars laid the foundations for the forms of convergence culture that rule the media industries today. As a commercial entertainment property and meaningful platform for audience participation,Star Wars created lifelong fans (and consumers) by continuing to develop characters and plots beyond the original text and by spreading that storyworld across as many media platforms as possible. While there is much to be said about recent installments in the franchise, we discourage submissions that focus exclusively on Star Wars texts produced since the sale to Disney in 2012. Priority will be given to those submissions that demonstrate an ability to engage with the breadth of Star Wars media and fan activity, including (but not limited to) digital and analog games, novels, comics, televisions shows, tie- in merchandise, fanfic, and Star Wars events, places, and gatherings (conventions, exhibitions, shows, theme parks, performances, etc.); or that bring new approaches from transmedia and franchise studies to old topics.

Submissions should include a provisional title, a 200-word abstract, and a 100-word biographical note. Abstract submissions are due by October 1, 2016. Please send submissions simultaneously to both editors, Sean A.

The Lego video game series is financially successful outselling traditionally produced licensed video games. The Lego series also receives critical acclaim from both gaming magazine reviews and user reviews. By conducting both an industrial and audience address study, this project displays how texts that begin as promotional products for Hollywood movies and a toy line can grow into their own franchise of releases that stills bolster the original work.

LEGO has also become a medium into which a wide number of media franchises, including Star Wars , Harry Potter , Pirates of the Caribbean , Batman , Superman , Lord of the Rings , and others, have adapted their characters, vehicles, props, and settings. The LEGO Group itself has become a multimedia empire, including LEGO books, movies, television shows, video games, board games, comic books, theme parks, magazines, and even MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games). LEGO Studies: Examining the Building Blocks of a Transmedial Phenomenon is the fi rst collection to examine LEGO as both a medium into which other fran- chises can be adapted and a transmedial franchise of its own.

  • Narrativizing LEGO in the Digital Age by Aaron Smith, Aaron.Smith50
    Beyond the Brick: Narrativizing LEGO in the Digital Age By Aaron Smith, [email protected] *Draft, please do not quote or cite without permission *The following is a personal research project and does not necessarily reflect the views of my employer Conference Paper MiT7 Unstable Platforms – The promise and peril of transition 13-15th May 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, MA Introduction Fantasylands, supernatural environments, and galaxies far far away– LEGO looks a lot different today than when it was patented as a red studded brick in 1958. The physical toy remains an intricate part of the LEGO business, of course, but now so are video games, amusement parks, movies, television shows, and online entertainment. The growing reliance on media communication and media technologies, a process many scholars have dubbed ―mediatization,‖ has powerful implications for LEGO‘s long- established and valued ―system of play.‖1 One effect has been the increasingly important role of narrative within this system—what Stig Hjarvard calls ―narrativization.‖2 Indeed, LEGO box sets increasingly specify narrative roles, conflicts, mythologies, and character bios as part of their intended play. Traditional LEGO building and designing continues to flourish, but while the material toys used to compose the entirety of the LEGO system, they now function as elements within a larger media ―supersystem.‖3 This paper focuses on LEGO‘s strategies for adapting to the digital age by leveraging story worlds around their products and encouraging

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 Star Wars Drawing Manual 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.

Here, you’ll find the answer to that query. This file, the Appendices, features numerous small sections, featuring topics ranging from G-Level and Apocryphal (N-Level) Canon timelines, rosters for Rogue Squadron and other groups, 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 last, but with its wide array of different features, it has survived to stand on its own alongside the primary document. I hope you find your time spent reading through it well spent.
