4.03: The Podcast Awakens

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.

• TheForce.net Literature Forum, where Chris was Master_Keralys

• “‘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.
