If you are a fan of Star Wars, especially of the new interconnected canon, this book is for you. Including a timeline, a who's who of important figures in the Star Wars universe, information on the more important planets in the Star Wars galaxies, and then more detailed maps of the areas of importance on each of these planets, this books has a little bit of everything to help you map out the where/when/who of the new canon. Very informative and artistically detailed, this is an excellent addition to any Star Wars fan's library. I'm hoping that as future movies, books, and cartoons are released, they will release updated editions of this book to include the new locales. A Star Wars geek's dream!

Another gorgeous piece picked up from First Book. I am utterly enamored with this piece. I thought at first it would "just be another map book," but I had to amend my assumptions from the second I opened the front cover. It starts, of course, with the galaxy at large, but instead of going straight into the planets, the book makes a fantastic detour.
First, there's an entire (new) Star Wars timeline, starting in 32 BBY and going all the way through to 4 ABY. Every single section is summarized succinctly, and each one has its different piece of art next to it. After four pages of that, you turn over to the Historical Figures pages, where you're introduced, with illustrated head bust shots, to 50 of the most essential characters in the franchize with small summaries under them as well.
From there we move into our Atlas proper, with each section starting with the Star Systems (as their own illustrated two-page spread) and then planets within them (each world getting it's individual two pages, as well). There are four star system layout pages and twenty-five planet/location layouts. On each of the location pages are small scenes from all across the canon that took places in these locations, with summaries and minute depictions of the characters or most important actions/events that happened there.
It's truly stunning and riveting, and you'll spend forever looking at every single page. My personal favorites had to have been not expecting Mortis to be in it, but it's so gorgeous, and the Trinity is laid out in the artwork of land even. You will find pieces for every single one of your favorite characters sprinkled throughout these pages with such care and artistry.
The last two-page spread is, also, "a beastiary" with the animals from the two-page world spreads, naming them, as well. The very last page and back cover, also, has a before and after of The DeathStar. This is an absolute must buy for the Star Wars buff in your life, and I have absolutely no regrets about scoring myself a copy. ( )
