Abrams, 2015) ; ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY (US, Gareth Edwards, 2016) ; STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (US, Rian Johnson, 2017) ; FRANCHISES ; STAR WARS: REBELS Summary: Focusing on The Force Awakens (2015), Rogue One (2016), The Last Jedi (2017), and the television series Rebels (2014–18), Dan Golding explores the significance of pop culture nostalgia in overcoming the skepticism, if not downright hostility, that greeted the Star Wars relaunch. In its granular textual readings, broad cultural scope, and insights into the complexities of the multimedia galaxy, this book is as entertaining as it is enlightening.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781517905422Contents: Introduction: Star wars and the history of nostalgia
Before the empire: the politics of George Lucas and the critique of the original trilogy
It calls to you: selling Star wars in 2015
Look how old you've become: the force awakens as legacy film
An awakening: diversity as the politics of the force awakens
Just like old times?: music, seriality, and the fugue of the force awakens
You have to start somewhere: contrasting nostalgias in the force awakens and rogue one
You think anybody's listening?: fighting fascism in rogue one and rebels
I've always hated watching you leave: death, Han Solo, and Carrie Fisher
I will finish what you started: Star wars from the last jedi and beyond.
