Reviews

Holiday Gift Guide Pick If you obsess over everything Star Wars, like, down to the minutae of things like character height or how many times the Force was mentioned in a film, this 176-page book, chock full of graphical data covering everything from the original Star Wars movie to Rogue One, will make you very happy indeed. The book's graphics are very meta, fashioning much of the data in visuals that will be familiar to anyone who enjoys the franchise. An ideal book for a Star Wars-loving data junkie.
