I'm a big Star Wars fan. Maybe not a crazy fanatic who can tell you the full history and background of every single character, but still a fan! I love whisking myself away to a galaxy far, far away. It brings back so much nostalgia and memories from my childhood. Every year when Star Wars comes on as a marathon on television... I'm glued! I grew up with the Prequels coming out, but my parents had me re-watching the original trilogy. Not because they loved it, because it was on television. It was something that easily grabbed my attention and I would sit there and actually watch it. As I grew up, I was thrilled to watch the sequel series (until I actually watched them, but that's another story). I'm still a fan - The Mandalorian is awesome, and I'm slowly making my way through the books and other television series. I like it. It's unique, it's fun and it's different.

Then in walks this book. I knew it was meant to be and I was thrilled to get it in my hands. It took a while to read it because it's one big, hunk of a book - but it was worth it! As a giant Star Wars fan, this was the kind of book I wanted to read. It's a collection of interviews from people who worked on the series - ranging from writers to producers to actors to podcasters - and it spans over some time. It will reintroduce you to facts you already knew, and let you know of many behind the scene secrets and new tips you would have never imagined. It's a great book, honestly!

Fun fact: Indiana is George Lucas' old dog's name. So the whole dog joke in Indiana Jones... There was some real life giggles behind it!

This space opera has spanned many generations and can make or break a family barbecue. It's amazing how big this silly, little movie turned into a giant universe of fandom and freedom. Eventually Disney got involved and might have done something really odd and weird with the series... but it still stands to be one multiverse of insanity. It's big, it's mighty and it's beloved.

This book is PERFECT for your Star Wars fandom friends. With almost 600 pages of pure Star Wars content, it will let them know more background facts to win a Movie Trivia Showdown any day of the week. It's just an overall fantastic book with so much packed into it. I was binging this baby for a week!

I highly recommend this book. I'm honestly surprised how a non-fiction book that was only full of interviews kept me completely hooked. What a compelling and intriguing book!

Five out of five stars.
