This is the story of how, over the next five years, Star Wars went from near-certain extinction to what Wired magazine would call “the forever franchise,” with more films in the works than its first four decades had produced.įocusing 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. Then in 2012 George Lucas shocked the entertainment world by selling the franchise, along with Lucasfilm, to Disney.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away-way back in the twenty-first century’s first decade- Star Wars seemed finished.
