From the Publisher

Which Film Should I Watch First?

Episode IV came out in 1977 and Episode I in 1999

Planet Hoth: Rebel Base

It gets so far below freezing at night on Hoth that even the native tauntauns can die from hypothermia.

Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Rebels plan to attack the second Death Star, but first need to take down the shield generator.

Who is Rey?

Is she the new hope that will bring about the return of the Jedi, or is she just lucky when it comes to handling a lightsaber?

Say What?

I have a bad feeling about this, or a version of it, is spoken in every Star Wars movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2021

This was amazing! I knew nearly nothing about the saga or the complements (series and stand-alone films). However this guide really helped me to finally understand the whole story.

The diagrams of each film are fabulous and well designed. They are basically a map into to the adventurous roads (films). And the succinct and friendly explanations after that, help the reader to learn further.

I love this! My husband loves star wars and I’m trying to get into it too. I just didn’t grow up watching them so I’ve had some trouble caring... This book lays it out in such an approachable way! It truly is star wars made easy and I’m starting to enjoy Star Wars more as a whole now that I understand.

This informative, funny and graphically pleasing book is for the emerging Star Wars fan but also for the hardcore fan (like myself) as well -- filling in interesting details in the films, explaining confusing plot twists and answering questions lingering in the back of any fan's brains. I read the book as I was showing a couple of the film to my daughter and Christian's succinct explanations made it easier for me to answer my daughter's questions. And, of course, she enjoyed looking through the book as well. Bravo. The Force is strong with Christian Blauvelt.

I’ve recently started watching Star Wars and ordered this because even though I am enjoying the movies, I’m still very confused. This book had been a very enjoyable read, and I will probably end up re-reading strictly for entertainment purposes.

This is an awesome book. Lots of interesting facts, photos, and diagrams. One of my sons is a Star Wars fanatic and retains all of the information he learns. The other son, though interested, has a hard time keeping up, so it is a great book for him to learn more things

3.0 out of 5 stars A black book
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2018
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
One of the great qualities of Star Wars was and is its brightness: the Star Wars universe is white, not black. This is the one book I think is fair to judge by its cover, which is black, and thus completely misses the essential Star Wars esthetic. The whole book to me just doesn’t get it. I am not really a hardcore Star Wars nerd who feels strongly about inconsistencies in the saga, but I do love the first film in particular. I just feel that the artwork of this book doesn’t jive with what I like about Star Wars.

I have been a Star Wars fan since the first movie came out. I bought this for my wife, who is also a fan, but who had forgotten some of the details and characters. She went through it before we went to see the most recent film and it helped her reacquaint herself. I found a lot of interesting information in it also.
Lots of fun.

This book was SO informative! As someone who was introduced to the series as a late teen, I found that a lot of the politics and characters hard to follow - this book laid everything out in a digestible and easy to understand format. Would highly recommend for anyone else feeling confused watching the films.
Note: does not include The Last Jedi or The Mandalorin as it was published in 2017

Edizione in copertina rigida, 200 pagine per rivivere i tratti salienti delle pellicole (sino a Gli Ultimi Jedi) e delle serie televisive. Ottimo come regalo, per introdurre alla galassia lontana lontana amici o partner, l'Inglese utilizzato è tutto sommato decisamente semplice.
Consigliato non solo ai novizi, ma anche ai fan di lunga data, in quanto contiene diverse curiosità che faranno felici anche loro.
P.S: Dal 14 novembre 2018 sarà disponibile anche in lingua italiana per Giunti Editori.
