Star Wars: The Force Awakens The Visual Dictionary

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary" allows fans to study the characters, creatures, droids, props, and other elements of the film. Having owned and read all the previous Star Wars visual dictionaries, I was excited to get this. It's exactly the same as the others - each major character gets 2-4 pages, while minor characters and locations get 1-2 pages. Included in each profile is typically over a dozen images related to that character. For example, the pages on Rey include her outfit, speeder, survival satchel, blaster, staff, and more. After seeing the film and looking through this book, it's clear just how much the movie got right visually. The First Order uniforms, TIE Fighters, and stormtroopers are all very reminiscent of the Empire from the original films, but with slight differences that also make them unique. The same could be said for the Resistance, which shares many visual elements with the original Rebellion. As far as completely new creations go, I think BB-8 stands out as the greatest new character from a design perspective. I also really like the look of Kylo Ren's mask as well as his lightsaber, which looks more fierce than any of the others. The book will be great for kids, but also suitable for adults who want to delve into the visual aspects of the film. (However, if you're more interested in concept art, then the book to get is The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens ). I love the layout of these books - the photos are scattered throughout the page; it's visually dense but never confusing. Brief paragraphs of text as well as captions provide context and insight into the characters and their props/wardrobe/etc.

As the title suggests, this book is a visual dictionary of all the various characters, creatures, weapons, planets, etc. related to (and/or edited out of) Star Wars Episode VII, "The Force Awakens". As such, it gives gives photographic reference and additional info on many of the details that you may have found yourself wondering about as you watched the new film. It was written by Pablo Hidalgo, Lucasfilm's resident expert of the Star universe and the man J.J. Abrams called at all hours to ask questions and fact check, so you can be sure that the information within is as accurate as possible and can be considered "canon". It's a great book and well worth the $11.99 it's currently listed for on Amazon. As much as I enjoyed the new film, I left the theater wishing it had been much longer and that it had answered more of the questions I had about the characters (new and old) and the current state of the "universe" (what's up with the x-wing pilot doll in Rey's home? What exactly is going on with the Republic, first order, resistance? etc) In addition to filling in some much needed exposition that the film didn't give us, it also provides tons of mundane (but interesting to fanboys) details about the various props, characters and locations only very briefly shown or alluded to in the movie. At only 80 pages, it's a pretty thin volume, but full of infographic-style photos, many of which were obviously used as reference by Hasbro when designing the toys and action figures. There are a couple of characters that are conspicuously absent (Luke, Snoke) but other than that, this is an excellent reference and a must-have for fans of the new movie who are counting the days until episode VIII. A quick warning, though: If you are one of the rare humans on this planet who has not yet seen the film, make sure you do before reading this book. It is chock-full of spoilers.
