In 2015 alone they published Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know AND Ultimate Star Wars!
All the above titles are wonderful, must-have books but Star
Wars is an ever-expanding galaxy of stories and characters, planets and aliens,
spaceships and droids, and a LOT of Star Wars has happened since 2015!
Which leads us to the brand new guide book, simply titled The Star Wars Book. The subtitle “Expand Your Knowledge of a Galaxy Far, Far Away” holds true as even the most dedicated fans will probably find some new information in here.
As the Skywalker Saga has ended and The Mandalorian is the main new Star Wars story coming out right now, and before the launch of the High Republic era, this is a great time to capture the story
so far, in so many facets.
The Star Wars Book looks at all aspects of the saga as they relate to the bigger story. Where the Visual Dictionary books simply look at one film at a time, The Star Wars Book draws connections between books, comics, tv and video games and how each aspect relates to the bigger picture. A topic like the Force might refer to moments from the movies, episodes of The Clone Wars and Rebels, novels and more.
Authors Pablo Hidalgo (Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide,
The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary, and many more), Cole Horton (Absolutely Everything You Need to Know) and Dan Zehr compile each subject into easy to
read but insightful segments.
Zehr (aka Dan Z) is a first-time Star Wars author here, but
longtime host and co-creator of the popular Star Wars fan podcast Coffee With
Kenobi, a teacher and a very positive face in the fan community. Its great to
see him contributing officially!
The are many wonderful Star Wars books, but only one that bears this title. Do yourself a favour and get the book, The Star Wars Book!
