Explore Facts From A Galaxy Far, Far Away In Two New ‘Star Wars’ Books
by James Ferguson
Becker & Meyer! Books has two new books on the way from author Cole Horton ideal for the Star Wars enthusiast. They’re not novels or comics. Instead, they’re more like guides and facts.
First up, there’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Travel’s Guide to Batuu, offering everything you need to know about the new Disney attraction, told in-world. You’re a visitor from another part of the galaxy in search of the best places to eat, shop, and check out during your visit to Black Spire Outpost. There are also itineraries and descriptions of weekend trips “Beyond Batuu” like getaways to nearby planets and environs.
The guide features full-color illustrations and maps, original content from Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Imagineering, and backstories on characters and locations found in Black Spire Outpost. This sounds like a fun experience even if you haven’t visited the new Disney attraction.
Next, we have a book that’s pretty self-explanatory in Star Wars: Book of Lists. This digs through loads of trivia, from both on-screen and off through the extensive history of the film franchise. This isn’t just a chronicle of fan-favorite characters or biggest opening weekends. It’s a collection of 100 lists of the most compelling facts about the saga and fandom. You’ll learn which character has been to the most planets, what are the deadliest creatures in the galaxy, and which actors have voiced the most characters, to name a few.
Both Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge -Traveler’s Guide to Batuu and Star Wars: Book of Lists are set for release on June 23rd, 2020 and are currently available for pre-order on Amazon.
