From A New Hope to The Rise of Skywalker and beyond, this book
offers the first complete assessment and philosophical exploration
of the Star Wars universe. Lucasfilm examines the ways in which
these iconic films were shaped by global cultural mythologies and
world cinema, as well as philosophical ideas from the fields of
aesthetics and political theory, and now serve as a platform for
public philosophy. Cyrus R. K. Patell also looks at how this
ever-expanding universe of cultural products and enterprises became
a global brand and asks: can a corporate entity be considered a
"filmmaker and philosopher"? More than any other film franchise,
Lucasfilm's Star Wars has become part of the global cultural
imagination. The new generation of Lucasfilm artists is full of
passionate fans of the Star Wars universe, who have now been given
the chance to build on George Lucas's oeuvre. Within these pages,
Patell explores what it means for films and their creators to
become part of cultural history in this unprecedented way.
