Summary

"Star Wars Multiverse explores the many narrative platforms of the multiverse of Star Wars including through film, television, fiction, and comics. It argues that Star Wars is both familiar and other-worldly and persistently replicates and reflects our world. It is about the nature of 'wars' in Star Wars, its militariness; about the hierarchies of life in this universe (human, creatures, droids); about languages and accents (who speaks English--which accent of English--who does not speak English--WHY); about patriarchy, feminism and women in Star Wars; about the poli-masculinities of Star Wars (the Jedi, the Mandalorian, the Sith); about Empire and coloniality. Star Wars Multiverse examines gender and race, privilege, and otherness while also precisely locating the franchise as an undeniably American cultural product"--
