Star Wars: A Transmedia Story

For the topic of Transmedia, I felt it was effective to use Star Wars as an example when talking about the different aspects of Transmedia.

I felt it was important to discuss the origin of the concept of Transmedia, and how this concept is implied in the Star Wars Universe. I also discussed how Trasmedia Storytelling can lead to effective collective intelligence networks, as well as how Transmedia helps develop fandoms of a particular story.

Well, 4chan has developed quite a bad reputation compared to some of  it’s counterparts in recent years, but why is that you may ask? a conversation between a reddit user called pinguino42 and an unknown original poster asking the same question gives a good understanding of the situation.
