e’ll see the new Star Wars movie. Of course we’ll see it. Dark
Rey! Folding dual-bladed lightsabers! More porgs (or not)! But
here’s the worst-kept secret in the galaxy: Star Wars hasn’t
been about the movies in a long time. In the 42 years since Luke watched
twin suns set on his moisture-farming boyhood, the franchise has gone
supernova, expanding every which way. And not just to the obvious places
(games, TV, toys). There are costuming guilds. Cookbooks. Fan cons. VR
immersions. Endless behind-the-scenes ephemera. Even billion-dollar
theme parks. So, in the following pages, three writers—two resident
superfans and a novelist—travel to the outer edges of the Star Wars
storyverse, where they survey the true scene. —THE EDITORS
