It’s May the Fourth, and what you really need with you is a really good read, especially if you’re on the train, tram or tube. The Star Wars franchise is a great source of reading material, so why not pick up a book or two? Let’s take a look at some of the new and interesting stuff to arrive at the STARBURST library.
Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation
From Star Wars to Jurassic Park, ILM have been part of the Star Wars story from the very beginning. This lovely-looking coffee table book is absolutely stuffed with photos and illustrations describing how they made the movies look so magical.
Outlaws: Low Red Moon
Low Red Moon is a tie-in novel for the Outlaws video game. So it’s a tie-in for a tie-in, which probably makes it a knot. This new novel by Star Wars super-fan and experienced author Mike Chen details the exploits of everyone’s favourite rebel battle-droid, ND-5. Because apparently they aren’t all called Roger.
William Shakespeare’s Star Wars The Mandalorian of Nevarro
Experience the Mandalorian as it was truly meant to be experienced: as a parody Shakespearean play. Complete with woodcut-style illustrations and Shakespeare’s famous meter, this is a play you can read but will probably never see performed.
Star Wars: Visions
The Visions TV show took unique creators and asked them to add a Star Wars twist. The comic book series does the same. Works by both Manga legend Takashi Okazaki and the incredible Peach Momoko can be found in the unmissable comic-book collection.
Star Wars: Galactic Drinks
If you’ve ever wondered exactly what it is they serve at the Star Wars cantina, wonder no more. This novel recipe book is filled with fun ideas for the Star Wars fan who’d grown beyond Blue Milk.
Star Wars: The Secrets of the Jedi & Star Wars: The Secrets of the Sith
Previously available as super fancy editions, these newly updated ‘Secrets’ books give an in-universe take on the core teachings of both sides of The Force. Essential for any hardcore fan.
Star Wars Modern Era Epic Collection: The Screaming Citadel
Star Wars does epic quests in the amazing graphic novel. Thrill as Luke and chums team up with the dubious Doctor Aphra to go on a very Star Wars Dungeon dive. One of the best Star Wars romps we’ve read in a while.
