Star Wars character encyclopedia by Simon Beecroft et al.
New edition. DK Publishing, 2019. ISBN: 9780241386071.
(Age: 8+) Recommended. Fans of the Star Wars sagas will welcome this
new edition of Star Wars character encyclopedia, with its
guide to approximately 218 characters, including the heroes, droids
and enemies of the galaxy. It includes new characters from Rogue
One: A Star Wars story, Star Wars: The last Jedi, and
Solo: A Star Wars story.
Arranged in alphabetical order, each character has a page of
attractive photographs and information about their affiliation,
appearance and what their skills are. There are stills from the
movies, and the photographs of the characters themselves are
beautifully produced and will thrill any reader who loves the
movies.
DK Publishing can be trusted to produce handsome, well bound and
interesting books and this is no exception. It contains a useful
contents page of all the characters found in the book and a
comprehensive index provides access to details about the characters
and their actions.
It is fun to dip into the book, looking for familiar and well-loved
characters, but fans will want to start at the beginning and read
until the end. It is a book that won't stay on the library or class
room shelf for very long.
