Whether or not you plan to see it, the presence of the newest installment is everywhere, from bottles of coffee creamer to media coverage to daily conversation. The inescapable presence of the new film points to the impact the franchise has had on our culture since the release of the original Star Wars film in 1977. That impact can be seen in the wealth of scholarship about and related to that galaxy far, far away. Check out these dissertations and referenced content on the ProQuest platform.
