One-Man Star Wars Trilogy Will Take Starlight Indoors Audiences on a Fun, Frenetic Trip to a Galaxy Far, Far Away Local Press Contact: Molly Sommerhalder Phone: 414-273-7121 ext. 399 Email: [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE One-Man Star Wars Trilogy Will Take Starlight Indoors Audiences on a Fun, Frenetic Trip to a Galaxy Far, Far Away Coming to the Marcus Center’s Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall on November 3 MILWAUKEE, WI (Wednesday, August 15, 2018)-Created and brought to life on stage by Canadian actor Charles Ross, One-Man Star Wars Trilogy is just what it seems – a live solo performance of the original trilogy of Star Wars movies (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi)! The multi-talented Ross stuns audiences by singlehandedly playing all the characters, singing the music, flying the ships, fighting the battles and condensing the Star Wars plots into just over 60 minutes of live entertainment. Convinced that he has the best job in the world, “professional geek,” Ross has delivered his rapid-fire recap more than 4,000 times to audiences in 500 cities across four continents over the past 15 years. It all began at the age of 6 when Ross saw Star Wars with his father. When he was later able to tape the movie on his family’s VCR, he would wake every morning at 5:30 a.m. to watch it. At the University of Victoria, Ross befriended T.J. Dawe; the duo soon collaborated on the creation and arduous rehearsal of many treatments of what would become One-Man Star Wars Trilogy. With Ross performing and Dawe directing, the show made its Toronto Fringe Festival debut in 2002. It toured to Orlando, Fla., Vancouver, B.C., and Chicago. Then, in 2005, the show hit a high point – a performance at Star Wars Celebration III in Indianapolis for an audience of 35,000 ecstatic fans in Indianapolis. One-Man Star Wars Trilogy is recommended for Star Wars fans of all ages. NOTE: Audience members are invited to wear costumes, but no masks or weapons are allowed. One-Man Star Wars Trilogy is performed with permission of Lucasfilm Ltd. All “Star Wars” elements are property of Lucasfilm Ltd. All rights reserved. This one night only performance will be at the Marcus Center’s Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall on Saturday, November 3 at 7:30 pm. Tickets go on sale on Friday, August 17 at 12:00 pm at the Marcus Center Box Office and can be purchased in person at 929 North Water Street, Downtown Milwaukee, by phone at 414-273-7206 or online at MarcusCenter.org or Ticketmaster.com. Groups 10 or more SAVE! and should call Group Sales at 414-273-7121 x210 or x213.

    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.

    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.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ ACU. ABSTRACT Mythic narratives exert a powerful influence over societies, and few mythic narratives carry as much weight in modern culture as the Star Wars franchise. Disney’s 2012 purchase of Lucasfilm opened the door for new films in the franchise. 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the second of these films, takes place in the fictional hours and minutes leading up to the events portrayed in 1977’s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Changes to the fundamental myths underpinning the Star Wars narrative and the unique connection between these film have created important implications for the public memory of the original film. I examine these changes using Campbell’s hero’s journey and Lawrence and Jewett’s American monomyth. In this thesis I argue that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was likely conceived as a means of updating the public memory of the original 1977 film.

  • De Star Wars-Jaren
    HOOFDSTUK 2 De Star Wars-jaren DE PRIESTER EN DE STORMTROOPERS De in witte harnassen gehulde groep Stormtroopers kwam mijn kant op. Naast hen een kolonel in het zwarte uniform van het keizer- lijke leger. Tegelijkertijd zag ik van rechts de gehelmde gestalte van de gevreesde premiejager Boba Fett op me aflopen in grijsgroen ge- vechtstenue, geweer in de hand. Eventjes waan ik me op de set van een Star Wars film als plotseling een klein meisje in een roze jurkje met vleugeltjes langs me heen rent en wordt opgetild door haar moe- der, eveneens gekleed in een jurk met vleugels op haar rug. “Mama! Darth Vader vroeg me hoe ik heette!” Ik bevond me op het terrein van Kasteel Haarzuilens. Twee dagen lang waren de tuinen rond het kasteel het toneel van Elfia, het groot- ste kostuumfestival van Europa. Tienduizenden deelnemers waren hier naar toe gekomen, de meesten verkleed als hun favoriete fan- tasie-figuren uit boeken, films en televisieseries. In Japan noemen ze het ‘cosplay’, van ‘kostuum’ en ‘play’, wij noemden het vroeger ge- woon ‘verkleedpartij’. Het fenomeen heeft zich de laatste jaren over de hele wereld verspreid. De sfeer is gemoedelijk, de kostuums zijn vaak prachtig gemaakt en de setting is sprookjesachtig. 37 mediapriester Eén van de Stormtroopers doet zijn helm af. “Mag ik iets vragen, u bent toch die Star Wars priester?” Ik knik bevestigend. De week ervoor was in de VS de eerste trailer getoond van de nieuwe Star Wars film,The Force Awakens. Voor het eerst sinds 1983 kregen we beelden te zien waarin een tipje van de sluier werd opgelicht van wat er na de Return of the Jedi met Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chew- bacca en prinses Leia was gebeurd.

  • Race, Gender, and Colonialism in the Star Wars Universe
    Office of Graduate Student Services, Wesleyan University . Wesleyan ♦ University . THE POWER OF THE FORCE: RACE, GENDER, AND COLONIALISM IN THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE By John Paul Pianka Faculty Advisor: Professor Robert Steele A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Arts . Middletown, Connecticut May 2013 i Acknowledgements Thank you, first and foremost, to Bob Steele, my advisor for this project and a professor who every day challenges me to second guess my surroundings, my culture, and even my favorite things in the world (as evidenced by this thesis). My first class with you, a class in which I initially enrolled hoping it would be an easy A, fundamentally changed the way I look at movies, television, and the world itself. Five classes with you wasn’t enough. Thank you as well to all the professors of the Psychology Department, who helped me find and cultivate my academic passions. Thank you also for allowing me to spend one more year here, learning and writing about something near and dear to my heart. I could not have written this thesis without the enduring support of my friends, particularly those in Alpha Delta Phi. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find anyone who shared my passion for Star Wars enough to help me critique my ideas, but I was happy to find many friends here whose passion for Star Wars as well as Cultural Psychology far exceeds my own. A particular thank you to Chelsea Goldsmith, for constantly keeping me from being lazy and making sure I didn’t attend Celebration VI alone; to Victor Pesola, whose knowledge on the subject makes me feel considerably less terrible about the time I’ve spent in the Star Wars universe (and on the Wesleyan campus for that matter!); to Richard Fessler, for the numerous Clone Wars marathons we shared under the pretense of “thesis research;” and to fellow sci- fi film aficionados Jake Lane and Will Donald, for five years of great conversations, many of which made it into this thesis one way or another.
