Star Wars, global fandom, and, well... geeking out about Star Wars. We say a few serious things about the nature of global fandom, the relationship between art and brand awareness in large media properties, and the future of as large a property as _Star Wars_. But let’s be honest: mostly, we geek out. Links - TheForce.net Literature Forum, where Chris was Master_Keralys - “How Disney Plans To Sell ‘Star Wars’ In China, A Box Office Far, Far Away” - “‘Star Wars’ China Box Office: Lukewarm Presales Could Signal Trouble For Disney Juggernaut” - _The Force Awakens_ soundtrack on iTunes Music - “Main Title” from _Star Wars_, by John Williams. Fair use. And _amazing_. - “Winning Slowly Theme” by Chris Krycho, who started composing in no small part because of the “Twin Suns” cue from _A New Hope_, which rocked his world when he was just a little kid, and nothing was ever the same.
