Recenzii
Interpreting Star Wars does something unique and important: it traces the cultural shifts of a broader culture when examining the products of the franchise, itself. As a result, Interpreting Star Wars is a work allowing for a deep insight on how each film interacted with the time period of its release as well as its influence moving forward. Especially cogent are Booy's look at the religious and mythic underpinnings of the series and how those foundations is a pathway understanding the abilities of the franchise to both reflect and influence culture. This is a must-have book both for fans and for scholars.
So many thousands of words have been written about the Star Wars phenomenon that one started to wonder whether there was anything left to say. As this carefully researched, engagingly written and often strikingly original book demonstrates, the answer is yes, there is. Even for the most well-informed scholar and the most dedicated fan much is to be learned here. The emphasis is on the evolution of the Star Wars universe across more than four decades, on how the increasing number of stories set in it relate to each other and on how ever-changing currents of critical writing have generated a wealth of interpretations.
