Intro In the full decade since The Force Awakens release, the entertainment landscape and Star Wars discourse changed immensely. What was once a franchise defined primarily by theatrical films has expanded into streaming series, animation, and an ongoing transmedia universe that now dominates much of Disney’s output.
