I co-edited this anthology, and I must say that I am delighted to share these essays exploring 46 years of Star Wars storytelling. Fans and scholars alike will, I think, find much to think about here as experts from a variety of disciplines and perspectives share insights on many different facets of the multimedia Star Wars universe, including very recent works such as The Book of Boba Fett and Andor. I am so thrilled to share this with readers � and my students!

Here is the full Table of Contents.
