Organization: University of Toronto Press
With
an extensive and still growing body of work, including two
cinematographic trilogies, a third trilogy in process, several animated
television series, and numerous books and novels, Star Wars is probably
one of the richest universes in science fiction, and generates a strong
and constant interest from a vivid fan community. Religions play a major
role in this setting, particularly with the preponderant importance of
the Force in the Star Wars universe. However, given the size of the Star
Wars galaxy and the number of sentient species that inhabit it,
religion in Star Wars cannot be reduced to the Force.
The
Journal of Religion and Popular Culture invites submissions exploring
the religious dimensions of the Star Wars universe, including the
religious and mystic symbols that have been extensively used in
developing the varied elements of the Star Wars franchise. Papers
exploring the religious dimensions and implications of the animated
series’, the third trilogy, the Star Wars legends material, fans,
conventions, theme parks, and other Star Wars material are particularly
welcome.
This special issue will provide an up-to-date reflection
on the topic of religion and Star wars, and will investigate some of the
most recent avatars of the Star Wars saga through the lens of religion.
