New Star Wars Books Incoming – Complete Locations & Year By Year: Updated Edition.

Year By Year Updated

Two major Star Wars reference books from DK are set to arrive soon – Year By Year (Updated & Expanded Edition) and Complete Locations. Take a good look at a few images from both books after the jump.

 

 

From the official Star Wars website:

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this month’s new releases from DK Publishing are worth their weight in Jedi holocrons. Leading off the month is the mammoth book, Star Wars Year by Year: A Visual History, Updated Edition, coming out today. This new version adds new sections to the impressive timeline of Star Wars in our world, from the culture that shaped George Lucas as a young man now up to the year 2016. Like the rest of the book, whose first edition came out in 2010, these new entries, written by Pablo Hidalgo and often using art, photos, and other illustrations, take the reader through all the key happenings in the recent history of the Star Wars saga, including the development of The Force Awakens and other new films. And if you’re more interested in the places of the films, the end of September brings the release of Star Wars: Complete Locations, a visual guide full of cross-sections and 3D maps of the structures, towns, battlegrounds, and worlds, out on September 27. With new sections covering The Force Awakens illustrated by Kemp Remillard and written by Jason Fry, the book showcases the details and history of key locations from the movies, from Naboo to Jakku, and from the Jedi Temple to Starkiller Base.

 

Included in the link above is a Q&A session with both authors, along with a series of images from both books (which we have mirrored below).

    I hesitate to buy these types of books that will be outdated in a few short months only to be replaced by another “updated” edition (that is outdated months later again).

      Exactly. I will buy it once Episode 9 comes out but even then I am sure Episode 10-12 will eventually be in the works so who even knows.

      It’s likely that they won’t make another edition of YBY until after Episode IX, for what it’s worth.

          They have a tendency to wait on these sorts of things – it’s been six years since they released the last one. I suspect the next edition will arrive at a slightly sooner time, maybe for a wait a year or two shorter than the last time.

    I got my copy on Monday, and I have to say, it is a really nice presentation. The slip cover it comes in alone was impressive, even! If you’re on the fence, let me assure you, jump down and get it, you won’t be disappointed.

    So i just started reading SW books and getting a little bombarded with different races and planets. Is there a reference book out there that I could use for looking up stuff like that?

      None that are comprehensive enough IMO. I would recommend keeping an internet tab open to starwars.wikia.com though, best resource for looking that kind of stuff up.

    Too much! If there’s concern of over-saturation in the Star Wars world, the books section will be the first become so, in my opinion.
