Billions of years ago, the universe was born and started to take shape. Millions of years ago, two precursor alien races battled in a final battle in the home star system of the Zendi civilization. The Zendi would use the technology of the precursors to establish a galactic empire that spans the local galaxies, until the great revolt. In the twenty-seventh century, many of the younger races are locked into a bloody galaxy-wide war. The Allied Forces are trying to protect their liberty from tyrannical alien forces bent on subjugating and enslaving all of humanity and their alien comrades. Many assassination attempts are made on the human nobility, especially on the imperial family. Vicious attacks by the galactic terrorist network called the Hy-Vree snare imperial forces as a rebel faction rises up during the war, an evil human faction bent on subverting the Terran Star Empire back into a despotic tyranny and at the height of the war and who will get their hands on a new terror weapon, one that could wipe out an entire star system.

This book provides the first detailed and comprehensive examination of all the materials making up the Star Wars franchise relating to the portrayal and representation of real-world history and politics. Drawing on a variety of sources, including films, published interviews with directors and actors, novels, comics, and computer games, this volume explores the ways in which historical and contemporary events have been repurposed within Star Wars. It focuses on key themes such as fascism and the Galactic Empire, the failures of democracy, the portrayal of warfare, the morality of the Jedi, and the representations of sex, gender, and race. Through these themes, this study highlights the impacts of the fall of the Soviet Union, the War on Terror, and the failures of the United Nations upon the ‘galaxy far, far away’. By analysing and understanding these events and their portrayal within Star Wars, it shows how the most popular media franchise in existence aims to speak about wider contemporary events and issues. The History and Politics of Star Wars is useful for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars of a variety of disciplines such as transmedia studies, science fiction, cultural studies, and world history and politics in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
