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.

The Star Wars Timeline Gold: Appendices 1
The Star Wars Timeline Gold: Appendices 1 THE STAR WARS TIMELINE GOLD The Old Republic. The Galactic Empire. The New Republic. What might have been. Every legend has its historian. By Nathan P. Butler - Gold Release Number 49 - 78th SWT Release - 07/20/11 _________________________________________ Officially hosted on Nathan P. Butler’s website __at http://www.starwarsfanworks.com/timeline ____________ APPENDICES ―Look at the size of that thing!‖ --Wedge Antilles Dedicated to All the loyal SWT readers who have helped keep the project alive since 1997. -----|----- -Fellow Star Wars fans- Now that you‘ve spent time exploring the Star Wars Timeline Gold‘s primary document and its Clone Wars Supplement, you‘re probably curious as to what other ―goodies‖ the project has in store. 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.

It is presented here in its unaltered original version. The views expressed are those of 2000, when Episode II and Episode III had not been released. Even with the final revelations of Episode III, I did not want to modify my theories, which remain valid nonetheless. I let everything as it was, but for one thing: the two complementary references to the February 2005 issue of Vanity Fair, because it concurred with my theory on midi-chlorians, only to make it more to the point.
