The bulk of the book is a lavishly illustrated deep dive into the people, places, and things in The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>.<\/p>\n

DK Publishing\u2019s designers artfully arrange colorful photos (several full- and even two-page), fun facts, and informative captions into an engaging, immersive visit to the Galaxy Far, Far Away.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re hoping for backstories about major characters that went unrevealed on screen, you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll learn, for instance, how Ben Solo came to lead the Knights of Ren, and more about Zorii Bliss and her \u201ccomplicated relationship\u201d with Poe Dameron. You\u2019ll also get the scoop on Lando Calrissian\u2019s abducted infant daughter, a revelation casting substantial new light on his interaction with Jannah near the movie\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

Seemingly every background and bit player in The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> gets a name and at least a thumbnail history, too.<\/p>\n

Now you can identify all the First Order officers around Kylo Ren\u2019s briefing table. You’ll also meet all the Resistance\u2019s brave fighter pilots and support personnel (including the son of one late, lamented Mon Calamari).<\/p>\n

More interested in the movie\u2019s high-tech hardware? You\u2019ll enjoy poring over five meticulous, double-page vehicular cross-sections and myriad close-up photos of weapons, clothing, accessories, and Jedi and Sith artifacts.<\/p>\n

And if exploring strange new worlds is your passion (apologies to that other \u201cstar\u201d sci-fi franchise), this dictionary also functions as a handy atlas.<\/p>\n

From Mustafar to Exogol, every world in The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> (except one we already know well) appears here, served up with plenty of tantalizing trivia. (Know why Ajan Kloss, home to the Resistance\u2019s latest base, is personally significant to General Leia Organa? You will!)<\/p>\n

Fueling Star Wars<\/em>\u2019 Fans Imaginations<\/h2>\n

Does this wide-ranging Star Wars<\/em> reference answer every question either casual viewers or ardent fans have? No. Strikingly, for example, Emperor Palpatine receives scant mention. Don\u2019t look here for an explanation of how he came back for one last (?) go-round as the galaxy\u2019s Big Bad. (That said, you may find some enticing hints.)<\/p>\n
But let\u2019s face it: Lingering questions and even some measure of creative confusion are hardcoded into Star Wars<\/em>\u2019 DNA.<\/p>\n
Where would the fun in complete explanations and iron-clad consistency be anyway? As my 12-year-old daughter, a committed member of the next generation of Star Wars<\/em> fans, told me when I complained we still<\/em> don\u2019t know how Anakin and Luke\u2019s lightsaber came to Maz Kanata, \u201cThat just means you get to make up your own story!\u201d<\/p>\n
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Visual Dictionary<\/em><\/a> continues the fine Star Wars<\/em> tradition of surprising and startling us with things we\u2019ve never seen before, and spurring us on to look for even more wonders in our own imaginations. It\u2019s a beautiful book sure to fuel hours of fun and fantasy.<\/p>\n
It will help ensure – as The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>\u2019s marketing tag line had it – that while the Skywalker Saga is over, the story will live forever.<\/p>\n
