This is a beautiful and unique Star Wars book. The author did an excellent job of naming the lists in captivating ways, like Solo's best one-liners and Rebel Rousers. The lists included interesting information, as well as full color pictures. Overall it is a great collection of Star Wars knowledge, that I think any fan would enjoy.
Thanks to netgalley for the Advanced Reader Copy.
Star Wars: Book of Lists is exactly what the title implies: it's a Star Wars book which relates different characters and locations in a fun way. Book of Lists reminds me of going to a book store, picking up a Star Wars guide and scrolling through the pages, letting the pictures guide me along the way. There isn't any new information provided in the book, but between the 225 pages there is surely something new for any fan of Star Wars to discover.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book was around 3.5 stars for me - I liked it more than I expected!
While the book is a little repetitive, it is full of quotes, pictures, and behind the scenes facts. From which aliens were puppets to what disguises our heroes wore and types of lightsabers this book is chock full of Star Wars information.
I wasn't wowed by all the lists, but I definitely learned some new Star Wars stuff. There's a lot of great quotes and nice pictures.
In a beautifully designed book richly illustrated with stills, this book delivers exactly what it promises: a compendium of lists from a galaxy far, far away. It’s probably not the best way to introduce someone to the franchise, but if you’re already a fan you’ll enjoy many of the creative lists (best musicians and bands, best facial hair, screams) and a sense of humor that evinces a deep affection for the universe. If there’s a weakness, it’s that the lists are almost all focused on just the films; there is one list toward the end that incorporates characters from novels, comics, television and theme parks, but fans of those aspects of the franchise may find themselves wishing that these were integrated throughout the entire book. To be fair though, that would make what must have already been a daunting project that much bigger and more complex.
Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy.
