It’s not specifically for kids, but kids could sure benefit from someone in the family making these items! It would be fun for kids to look through and make requests, but even the beginner patterns look somewhat challenging</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Admittedly I don’t even know how to review this book. I know nothing about knitting. I honestly couldn’t say if it’s easy-to-follow or even helpful for knitters. Having said that, there’s plenty to appreciate for non-knitters here in this 208 page hardcover.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">The “28 official patterns” for knitting projects are divided into the categories of Toys, Costume Replicas, Inspired Apparel and Home Decor. There is also a Glossary and “Yarn Resource Guide”. Each project is ranked one to three lightsabers, depending on skill level. Looking through it there do seem to be very few “Beginner” projects.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqI_NOZoexhuWOfWVUxFBGLLX4ndg65SQdmvAntWrlYuXR6xdk-DfiJcXUr8zw3G1UoRK1vCJfaeJvvnLaxMvQq7rcolOsAR686KswQL3ewgNdbD9VEAv4J6FS9wEhIUGZCmr2Gm3voqxO/s1752/Knitting+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1752" data-original-width="1400" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqI_NOZoexhuWOfWVUxFBGLLX4ndg65SQdmvAntWrlYuXR6xdk-DfiJcXUr8zw3G1UoRK1vCJfaeJvvnLaxMvQq7rcolOsAR686KswQL3ewgNdbD9VEAv4J6FS9wEhIUGZCmr2Gm3voqxO/w160-h200/Knitting+2.jpg" width="160" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Toys, knitters can make Pocket Yodas, Porgs and more. In Home Decor there’s blankets, pillows and other ideas. The Costume Replicas are cozy warm renditions of character items like Rey’s Vest and Padme’s battle wrap. The Inspired Apparel section is the biggest with plenty of mittens, socks, pullovers, scarves and more, all of which would be pretty amazing hand-made gifts for Star Wars fans young and old.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1KMCjiLvBHbRB3vTWbB5BGSkH5kBzWPx01EcBDLoWiDZQ0xwf65v6Hr6gBqYXqnNyvCdLOpRq873_N6iUEHU5KI8lkabGaMsDrU6GkFOPPagiYrsFxu3i3qnuam9g5INpcnYUEMnt0DA_/s1747/Knitting+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1747" data-original-width="1400" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1KMCjiLvBHbRB3vTWbB5BGSkH5kBzWPx01EcBDLoWiDZQ0xwf65v6Hr6gBqYXqnNyvCdLOpRq873_N6iUEHU5KI8lkabGaMsDrU6GkFOPPagiYrsFxu3i3qnuam9g5INpcnYUEMnt0DA_/w160-h200/Knitting+4.jpg" width="160" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;">What must be said about this book is that it's absolutely gorgeous!

His appearance in 1980’s <i><b>The Empire Strikes Back</b></i> was limited but had a huge impact on audiences. Suddenly Darth Vader wasn’t necessarily the coolest bad guy in the galaxy!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What does it take to be a Jedi? Do you have what it takes? A brand-new book from DK poses those questions for young readers in a fun, entertaining way.<br /><br /><i><b>Use the Force! Discover What It Takes to Be a...Jedi</b></i> is a 128-page guide book of sorts, but more of a light-hearted look at Jedi culture and famous Jedi in the Star Wars movies and TV shows. Not quite an <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2020/03/dive-into-star-wars-universe-with-in.html" target="_blank">In-Universe</a> book, but still kind of is, this book explores the world of the Jedi in its own cheeky style.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Covering similar ground as more serious books like <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2020/02/learn-secrets-of-jedi.html" target="_blank"><b><i>The Secrets of the Jedi</i></b></a> and <i><b>The Jedi Path</b></i>, <i>Use the Force!</i> is a middle-grade "hybrid" book, meaning it's not really a graphic novel like the <b><a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2016/08/jedi-academy-new-class-and-new-beginning.html" target="_blank"><i>Jedi Academy</i></a> </b>series but still illustrated throughout with black and white photos and sketchy drawings. The design of this book is unique: LOTS of different fonts and plenty of yellow.<br /><br />Fans of the <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2016/08/jedi-academy-new-class-and-new-beginning.html" target="_blank"><i>Jedi Academy</i></a> series and Tom Angleberger's <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2014/09/origami-yoda-series-tour-concludes.html" target="_blank"><b><i>Origami Yoda </i></b>books</a> will appreciate author Christian Blauvelt's humorous approach to the usually very serious topics of Jedi training, lifestyle, philosophy and more.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> It's wonderful to see the continued practice of including TV characters and storylines in these books and not just focusing on the movies. Also <i>Use the Force!</i> is very current as it mentions a few things only revealed in the recent <b><i>The Rise of Skywalker</i></b> movie.<br /><br />The overall look of the book may not appeal to some. DK is known for their amazing <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2020/01/read-you-must-dk-star-wars-visual-guides.html" target="_blank">Visual Dictionary and other stunning Star Wars guide books </a>but here the images are all black and white, or intentionally-amateurish line drawings.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One small complaint: the author makes it seem that Luke Skywalker himself trained Rey in the Jedi ways, but it was Leia who did that. Luke famously REFUSED to train her in their short time together in <b><i>The Last Jedi</i></b>. As seen in <i>The Rise of Skywalker</i>, Leia is the one training Rey. Here Leia is not mentioned as having been trained or teaching Rey as a Jedi, only that Leia "helps" Rey redeem Kylo Ren.<br /><br /><i>Use the Force!</i> covers some pretty familiar territory as other books, but in very light-hearted way many younglings will enjoy.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Every teenager goes through dramatic changes.
Karr Nuq Sin, a teen on the planet Merokia, is experiencing something
entirely unique. In an era long past the end of the Jedi, Karr is realizing he
is Force-sensitve, and possibly more directly connected to the Jedi than he
could ever imagine!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><i><b>Force Collector</b></i> is YA novel from Disney/Lucasfilm
Press published last year as part of the "<i>Journey to Star Wars: The Rise
of Skywalker</i>" promotion. Author Kevin Shinick previously penned the
adorable picture book <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2018/03/read-you-must-chewie-and-porgs.html" target="_blank"><i><b>Chewie and the Porgs</b></i></a> and now brings us his first Star
Wars novel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The story follows the teenage Karr as he more
and more frequently has to deal with his "episodes" - blackouts and
seizures - when he comes in contact with items with a connection to the Force
or past Force-users. Karr's parents expect him to follow them into the family business. Karr sees his destiny on another path...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Along the way he connects with and befriends a
fellow student named Maize. With her rebellious spirit and his longing for
answers they set out on an adventure seeking more and more artifacts across the
galaxy. They hope to learn more about the Jedi in their travels, but little do
they know the secrets they may uncover.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">What follows is a 379-page planet-jumping
adventure, virtually a tour of the Star Wars galaxy as we know it. Instead of
exploring new and exotic worlds, Karr and Maize travel to parts of the galaxy
we as readers are quite familiar with. Tatooine, Jakku, Takodana, and even
Batuu from <i>Galaxy's Edge</i>. Kajimi makes an appearance here too, before the
release of <b><i>The Rise of Skywalker </i></b>happened.They learn about the Star Wars galaxy
from a fresh perspective, meeting familiar faces like Maz Kanata and Unkar
Plutt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Set shortly before the events of <i><b>The Force
Awakens</b></i>, <i>Force Collector </i>offers a unique way to explore the Star Wars galaxy.
The reader is probably already very familiar</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> with the places Karr visits so we often know
more than Karr simply by having seen the movies. That is until the last quarter
or so, where we are just as in the dark as Karr and secrets are finally
revealed!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>Force Collector</i> is fairly light-hearted by
modern Young Adult standards, and very mild on the "Adult" part of
the YA moniker. While it has it's serious parts and pretty raw emotions at
times, it is an excellent YA starting point for young teen readers stepping up
from middle-grade novels like <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2017/04/read-you-must-join-resistance.html" target="_blank"><b><i>Join the Resistance</i></b></a>, <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2014/08/read-you-must-star-wars-rebels-ezras.html" target="_blank"><i><b>Ezra's Gamble</b></i></a> and the
<a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2017/03/read-you-must-adventures-in-wild-%20%20space.html" target="_blank"><b><i>Adventures in Wild Space</i></b></a> titles.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Add <i>Force Collector </i>to your collection!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">For an epic tale like the Star Wars saga, which
places plenty of importance on who </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">is who's father, there aren't a ton of great
examples of day-to-day fatherhood to be seen. There are a few moments to be sure, but
it's takes a little digging to see great moments in fatherhood in Star Wars.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of course there’s quite a few examples of
terrible fathers like Darth Vader. There's also completely absent parents like Rey’s, Han Solo's
or Ezra Bridger’s. But on a positive note, here’s a few of our favourite
examples of fatherhood in the saga…</span></div>

Organa</span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">
and his daughter Leia are only seen on screen together when she is a baby, but clearly there is great love and
mutual admiration between them. As a founding member of the Rebel Alliance, Organa obviously influenced Leia's world-view of politics, justice and rebellion. Bail even
states in<i> Rogue One</i> that he trusts her with his life, and Leia soon after goes

loved his family and of course his beloved "Stardust", his daughter Jyn. Unfortunately to keep her safe from Director Krennic and the Empire he had to leave her to be raised
mainly by Saw Gerrera. The two were never able to properly reconnect, but Jyn
clearly inherited a spirit of rebellion from both of her parents.</span></div>

seems like he was decent person and devoted husband, so presumably he was a pretty good dad, too. He freed Shmi
Skywalker from slavery and then later lost his legs trying to save her from Tusken
Raiders!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cleigg’s son <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Owen Lars</b>, though he probably only knew Shmi for a few years at
most (and apparently only met Anakin Skywalker once), took on the task, with his wife
Beru of course, to be guardians of Anakin's secret son Luke.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This may seen like an unlikely one, but arguably the
most involved father shown in any Star Wars movie is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jango Fett</b> in <i>Attack of the Clones</i>! While Boba Fett isn't
technically Jango's son but rather actually a CLONE of Jango, Jango raises him
as his son and seems to be teaching Boba many of the tricks of his bounty
hunter trade along the way.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We never really got to see what kind of father <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Han Solo</b> was when Ben (aka Kylo Ren) was a child but certainly at the end of <i>The
Force Awakens </i>Han shows nothing but love for his son. Clearly by then Han has regrets
about his life so maybe he wasn't the kind of father he wished he'd been, but it's
easy to see the emotional attachment he shares with Ben. There are glimpses of what kind of a dad Han might've been when he interacts with Rey throughout the movie.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Near the ending of <i>The Rise of Skywalker</i> there
is a hint that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lando Calrissian</b> may be interested in learning more about who
Jannah's parents are. The <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2020/05/read-you-must-rise-of-skywalker-junior.html" target="_blank">junior novelization</a> and<a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2020/01/read-you-must-dk-star-wars-visual-guides.html" target="_blank"> Visual Dictionary</a> take this one step further by
pointing out that Lando is indeed a father and had his daughter taken away to be
part of the First Order. It is certainly possible that Jannah is the long-lost
daughter he misses but that is not made completely clear.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Did you know that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jabba the Hutt</b> is also a dad? That was a new revelation in the
movie of <i>The Clone Wars</i> that preceeded the release of the TV series. Little
Rotta the Hutt, nicknamed "Stinky" by Ahsoka Tano, was only an infant
at the time and perhaps the rest of his story will be told at a later time.
It's really hard to imagine crime lord Jabba as a father, but it's true!</span></div>

Johnston (<b><a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2016/10/read-you-must-ahsoka.html" target="_blank"><i>Star Wars: Ahsoka</i></a></b>) has further chronicled the early career of Padmé Naberrie aka. Queen Amidala with her latest YA book<b><i> </i></b>from Disney/Lucasfilm Press:<b><i> Queen's Peril</i></b>.<br /><br />It is forgivable after the open ending of <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2020/03/read-you-must-queens-shadow.html" target="_blank"><i>Queen's Shadow</i></a> to have assumed that this novel would continue the Padmé story chronologically, getting closer to the events of <i>Attack of the Clones</i>. Instead <i>Queen's Peril</i> is set many years before, and details Padmé's election to become Queen of Naboo, then her early days as ruler. The two books seem to be part of a series but could be read individually or in chronological order, not necessarily in release order.<br /><br />Although the main characters are a several years younger than they were in <i>Queen's Shadow</i>, this is also a young adult novel with young adult themes and language. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The events of <i>Queen's Peril </i>lead right up into, and overlap with, much of <i>The Phantom Menace</i>. If it's been a while, it might be worth a rewatch of Episode 1 before readers dive into this book. Many moments in this book happen between-the-scenes of the movie moments and presume the reader knows that part of the story already.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tensions grow between the newly-elected Queen and increasing threats from the Trade Federation, and Naboo becomes far from the safe haven for arts and culture it usually is. <br /><br />The heart of <i>Queen's Peril</i> is the formation of Amidala's security team, especially her group of handmaidens. Partly bodyguards, partly companions and friends, the team of young teenagers must learn to work together, live together and utterly trust each other. None of those are always simple. <br /><br />Despite the fact that the handmaidens were selected for their ability to blend together and be interchangeable, Johnston does a good job of giving each of them a truly developed personality and story. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, and the story does much to humanize the whole team.<br /><br />The main focus of personal tension arises between Padmé and handmaiden Sabé. Then there is the frequent friction between Amidala, and the handmaidens' other boss, Captain Panaka.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Captain Quarsh Panaka and his wife Mariek play key roles not only in the Naboo security force but in the events that unfold here. Along the way there are also interwoven moments featuring Darth Maul, Jar Jar Binks, Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and more, as each story builds ultimately towards the Battle of Naboo, and the return of the Sith.<br /><br />With the publication of <i>Queen's Peril</i>, Canadian author E.K. Johnston now has the distinct title of being the most prolific Star Wars YA author (at least until Claudia Gray's High Republic novel comes out this fall). Let's hope we keep seeing more from this talented voice in the galaxy! <br /><br />Although not an illustrated book, a word of praise must also be said for the hauntingly beautiful front and back cover art by Tara Phillips.</span></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Just in time for the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, we found a little-mentioned alternate version of the story, in a pretty unlikely source!</span></span></i></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is hard to really comprehend just how big Star Wars was in the late 1970's and early 1980's. It wasn't just popular, it was a pop culture phenomenon. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Every major magazine seemingly had Star Wars on the cover at some point, some multiple times, including <i>TIME</i>, <i>People</i>, <i>Us</i>, <i>Rolling Stone</i>, and in 1980, <i>Family Circle.</i><br /><br /><b><i>Family Circle</i>?</b><br /><br /><i>Family Circle</i> was a very popular "women's interest" magazine published from 1932 and up to the end of 2019, always very much intended for mothers. Yes, of course moms like Star Wars too! <span style="font-size: x-small;">(True fact: my mother introduced me to Star Wars! Thanks Mom!)</span><br /><br />The August 5, 1980 issue seems like a typical one for the time but there on the bottom of the cover after headlines of diets, beautiful skin, recipes and the "right look in pants" are those glorious words: <i><b>The Empire Strikes Back</b></i>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Not even a mention of the words "Star Wars". There was no need. By then, months after the movie premiered, the blockbuster sequel was a household name by itself! And <i>Family Circle </i>was definitely all about households.</span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This was no ordinary feature though: what <i>Family Circle</i> ran across 4 pages was the entire story of <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i>! This is a condensed version is written by Donald F. Glut, author of the official novelization of the movie published that spring.<br /><br />With a few black and white illustrations borrowed from the Marvel comics adaptation of the movie (including the infamous scary-looking Yoda based on early concept art that was later corrected in comic reprints), Glut's short-story version of <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i> emphasizes the action and romance and leaves out almost all of Luke's Jedi training.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There's a few key moments from the movie left out to shorten the story. Here's a few examples of what's different in this version (or </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">scroll down to enjoy it yourself)</span></span>:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">- There is no Wampa attack, and so there's no Luke lost in the snow or in the medical clinic. Instead Luke encounters the vision of Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi after he crashes his snowspeeder during the Hoth battle.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">-Yoda doesn't play around. He introduces himself almost immediately.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">-Luke's X-wing doesn't crash on Dagobah, so there's no levitation scene later.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">-There's no mysterious Dagobah cave, so no dream-like fight with Vader.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">-C-3PO doesn't get broken up, or go missing on Cloud City, so instead of worrying about his whereabouts, Leia and Han have a little romantic scene that was apparently cut from the movie.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">-When
Han is frozen in carbonite, instead of saying "I love you" and "I
know", Han and Leia have much more to say. (This is consistent with the
comic adaptation as well as Glut's own novelization).</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's very hard to believe this amazing movie is 40 years old now as it seems so timeless today. Hopefully in another 40 years fans will be celebrating and discovering new ways to enjoy these movies that crossed generations and appealed to so many of us in so many ways! <i><b> </b></i></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once again author <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/search?q=kogge" target="_blank">Michael Kogge</a> adapts the latest Star Wars film from screen to page! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Out now from Disney-Lucasfilm Press is the official young reader novel of the conclusion of the sequel trilogy: <i><b>The Rise of Skywalker: A Junior Novel</b></i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like his previous adaptations for <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-force-awakens-retold-many-ways.html" target="_blank"><b><i>The Force Awakens</i></b></a> and <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2018/10/read-you-must-last-jedi-junior-novel.html" target="_blank"><b><i>The Last Jedi</i></b></a>, the movie is retold for confident middle-grade readers in chapter book format. Kogge captures the excitement, humour and tragedy of the end of the Skywalker saga here</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At 216 pages <i>The Rise of Skywalker: A Junior Novel</i> faithfully presents all the key moments, but doesn't stop there. Many scenes are expanded upon and actually help clarify some of the events of the film. An early example of one of these advertised "Exclusive Scenes" is how Kylo Ren gets ahold of the Sith wayfinder in the opening scenes. Its much clearer what's going here on in the book than the movie, and much cooler where he finds it. (We won't spoil that here though!)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Throughout the book there are little extra bits to scenes that for whatever reason didn't make it into the final film. For young fans who want to know EVERYTHING, this is a real bonus! Rey's conversations with Leia, Lando talking about his long-lost daughter, Ewoks discussing their take on galactic events are just some of the extra moments here.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also included are 6 pages of colour photographs from the movie.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since Michael Kogge has adapted all three sequel trilogy movies (and written <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2017/03/read-you-must-poe-dameron-flight-log.html" target="_blank"><i><b>Poe Dameron's Flight Log</b></i></a>), it's hard to imagine anyone better versed in these characters to write some in-between stories for young readers. There have been a select few (<i><b><a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2020/01/read-you-must-spark-of-resistance.html" target="_blank">Spark of the Resistence</a>, Cobalt Squadron</b></i>) but there is definitely room for more adventures between <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2018/10/read-you-must-last-jedi-junior-novel.html" target="_blank"><i>The Last Jedi</i></a> and <i>The Rise of Skywalker</i>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have not seen the movie, this is a very faithful retelling of it. Of course if you have already seen it, <i>The Rise of Skywalker: A Junior Novel</i> is an excellent way to relive the adventure!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's a fun pair of recent videos for young Star Wars fans!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Best-selling author of numerous YA adventure series (<i>Viking Academy, The Elskar Saga, The Ære Saga, Alfheim Academy</i>), S. T. Bende has also written several stories for Star Wars anthology books. <br /><br />Stories by Bende have appeared in <i><b>The Prequel Trilogy Stories</b></i> (2017), <b><i>5-Minute Star Wars Stories Strike Back </i></b>(2017) and <b><i>Galactic Adventures Storybook Collectio</i><i>n</i></b> (2018).<br /><br />Like most of the world, authors are staying home these days too, and Bende decided to share a couple of her Star Wars stories with everyone at home. If you already have a copy of <b><i>5-Minute Star Wars Stories Strike Back</i></b> you can read along with her in these videos, or you can just enjoy them as read by the author!<br /><br />The first video is her reading "<i>Mission to Maz</i>", inspired by Rey's first meetings with Maz Kanata and Kylo Ren in <i>The Force Awakens</i>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The second video is a reading of "<i>Adventure in the Arena</i>", based on the exciting and scary battle arena scene on Geonosis in <i>Attack of the Clones</i>!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the past we've looked at a number of appearances of Star Wars stars on the beloved children's show <i>Sesame Street</i>. You can see <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2015/12/star-wars-stars-on-sesame-street.html" target="_blank">Part I here</a> and <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2017/02/more-star-wars-stars-on-sesame-street.html" target="_blank">Part II here</a>. This time we're looking specifically at performers from the Disney+ hit show <b><i>The Mandalorian</i></b>!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Long before he was the imposing Moff Gideon on <i>The Mandalorian</i>, Giancarlo Esposito was "Mickey" the friendly Camp Counselor (or is it "Ricky"? Watch the clip and see) when Big Bird went away to camp. This was over several episodes back in 1982!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Peli Motto was played by actor/writer/comedian Amy Sedaris, who also appeared in several clips on <i>Sesame Street</i> back in 2006, discussing snacks with Cookie Monster and as Snow White in another episode. <br /> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the episode <i>The Prisoner,</i> the Mandalorian takes a job rescuing a Twi'lek prisoner named Qin, played by actor Ismael Cruz Córdova. In 2013-2015 Córdova was busy playing Armando, a recurring character on <i>Sesame Street</i>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In one episode Córdova also voiced a Muppet rooster who runs a Cuba booth at a Latino festival. <br /><br />And fittingly here's his singing a song called "What ryhmes with Mando?"</span></span><br />

Speaking of growing, as a child, Dawson made a brief appearance in a live-action segment on Sesame Street where several kids talk about their inner-city gardening.</span></span><br />

From the very beginning, the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 have been crucial to the storyline, and since then each movie has introduced new droid types in the galaxy. More importantly in Star Wars, droids are very much characters, not just machines or appliances.<br /><br />Where would <i>The Force Awakens</i> be without BB-8, <i>Star Wars Rebels</i> without CHOPPER, or <i>Rogue One</i> without K2-SO?<br /><br /><i><b>Extraordinary Droids</b></i> is a brand-new book from DK publishing that looks to explore the galaxy of Star Wars droids of all types, whether they are "Big, Small, Useful, Friendly" and what makes each kind special.<br /><br />Arranged by size, from smallest Buzz Droid seen in opening of <i>Revenge of the Sith</i> to the largest Hailfire Droid seen in the battle of Geonosis, author Simon Beecroft (<i>LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary</i>) gives a short description and context of where we might know each of droid.</span><br />

However the incredible amount of Star Wars movies and TV that has come out in the last 5 years, it makes sense that there's a need for a "New Edition" for 2020.<br /><br />The <i><b>LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia </b></i>provides a one-sheet "file" on each character. Some major characters like Luke Skywalker have many sheets for each film appearance. Others, like Ewoks, all share one spread.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are details about the character's place in the story as well as the LEGO minifig itself.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">That's a lot of new characters, or new versions of familiar characters, so to make room there are many characters not represented in this 224 page edition. Most notably absent are any characters that fall into the "Legends" category (outside the official timeline) which was a whole section in the <a href="https://starwarskidscast.blogspot.com/2015/05/read-you-must-lego-star-wars-character.html" target="_blank">2015 version</a>. Also gone are the behind-the-scenes pages.<br /><br />What is here is multiple colourful images and interesting info on over 200 Star Wars minifigs, including some rare and exclusive releases.<br /><br />Like many other DK LEGO Star Wars books, this comes with an exclusive minifig! With this book you get an exclusive Darth Maul minifigure, based on his appearance in Solo: A Star Wars Story.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you haven't explored the world of modern pop-up books you owe it to yourself to look at <b><i>Star Wars: The Ultimate Pop-Up Galaxy</i></b>. <br /><br />The latest Star Wars pop-up book from the incredible paper engineer Matthew Reinhart is an impressive marvel to explore and animate. <br /><br /><i>Star Wars: The Ultimate Pop-Up Galaxy</i> (2019 Insight Editions) takes things up another level (literally) from Reinhart's previously released <i><b>Star Wars: A Galactic Pop-Up Adventure </b></i>(2012) and <b><i>Star Wars: A Pop Up Guide to the Galaxy</i></b> (2007). Not only are there 5 major spreads, there are 24 pop-ups in total as each corner has it's own smaller but no less imaginative pop-up.<br /><br />But that's not the end of the excitement: the entire book can be basically turned inside out and laid out as a massive table-topping 37" x 44" 3D diorama!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Diorama is a fitting word as this is almost as much a playset as it is a book. There's plenty to do, to make happen, and really the closer you look into the details the more nuggets you'll discover. There are hidden gems and little surprises everywhere. For example, despite the focus on the films, fans of <i>Star Wars Rebels</i><b><i> </i></b>will notice a very familiar ship make an appearance.<br /><br />Reinhart is the author here as well as the designer, taking us through a chronological retelling of the Star Wars films, including moments from <i>Rogue One</i> and <i>Solo</i>. The final pop-up is a space battle moment from <i>The Rise of Skywalker</i>. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The artwork is all by Kevin M. Wilson, so the whole book has a more "realistic" look than the previous Reinhart Star Wars pop-ups which were far more stylized.<br /><br />The only drawback with the book is the construction of it. Once you completely open it up to create the full diorama, it never really holds together as well as it did before, making repeat read-throughs kind of awkward. That's a small price to pay for a book that is a really an experience to be had. The mechanics of the movement is really delightful here!<br /><br />Speaking of price, this is not an inexpensive book by any means and is not necessarily even a children's book as many of the pop-ups are very delicate. However for fans young and old this would make a wonderful gift, and great way to explore the Star Wars saga together!</span><br />Star Wars Kidscasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02154226909409716249noreply@blogger.com0
