This article discusses how some Star Wars video games break the boundaries of the traditional canon of Star Wars, and have became an important part of transmedial storytelling. This means that the bad characters don’t always have to be bad, and the good characters don’t always have to be good. It is an interesting way to approach Star Wars in a completely different way. Especially with LEGO now incorporating the Star Wars brand into its movies and games, the way that people see and interactive with Star Wars is completely different due to the complexity of these video games.
