Abstract

Transmedia is a narrative that allows a message to meet with the user in different media. With media convergence, a story has become available in different media, and this has also led to the expansion of the market. Star Wars has an important transmedia and a wide fandom. Because the film is on the concept of power, the construction of power shows itself in this area with masculine symbolism. In the post-Disney period, the female characters are prominent, but the films protect the masculine narrative. The aim of this study is to examine the construction of gender in the transmedial narrative in Star Wars films together with the discussions in fandom. For this purpose, gender construction in the transmedial narrative are analyzed by case study.
