Fandom is an important part of culture and entertainment. We can call it a subculture within the media industry, which has its own language and aesthetic. It’s rich in creativity and imagination but also in negative stereotypes and misrepresentations.
Star Wars franchise, as well as science fiction movies generally, is about appealing to a mass audience by making them feel something for a character or theme. That appeal comes from the characters’ personalities together with their story and action sequences that unfold on screen. Fandom is a collective of people who love these stories and are eager to share it with others through fandom sites like Wikipedia or Reddit as well as through official sources like “StarWars.com” or “Empire Magazine”.
“Star Wars is, in my view, the most popular science fiction franchise that has come to dominate the pop culture of our time. The story takes place in a universe where people of all races live together in peace and harmony.”
