From my book collection of Star Wars o The Wars. And an original promotional poster from 1977.
The third film of the third trilogy of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The Force who has accompanied us 42 years comes to an end (or not, that with this movie you never know). And some of us have an age we grew up with the original trilogy and we have also witnessed the rise of mystical phenomenon of this unique saga in the history of CINEMA entertainment with capital letters.
So we have also seen his evolution and transformation in multiple formats. Yes, the Force it is also read and studied. Those are 3 of the infinite titles that has been published about Star Wars and that I treasure like gold on cloth, although the one that is priceless is the poster.
Star wars and me
Although for me it has always been The Wars, I will not get into fashion and anglicized gardens, so get to the mess. Because my brother and I are Jedi (well, yes I will: it is pronounced 'Jedi', the jedai we leave it to the Saxons) from the cradle practically, he more than me, that I was already curing 7 joules when I flew for the first time in the Millenium Falcon. So Han Solo (who will always live), Chewie, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Master Yoda and the fearsome Emperor Palpatine are and will be our greatest heroes and villains. Those afterwards too, of course, where there always remains, but they have not been the same.
Comics, paperbacks and much more material passed through our hands about Star Wars. The Dark Side also seduced us, like everyone else, but the Force has always been more powerful and we did not end up succumbing. And now, our new generations of Padawans are on the right track. Over the years and good friends have been falling some books or encyclopedias like these, to know absolutely EVERYTHING about this saga that has transcended itself and the history of cinema.
The great book of the galaxy - Pablo Hidalgo and David Reynolds
This exhaustive and huge volume (I attest) posted in 2018 is a reference title and the perfect book to delve fully into that galaxy far far away. This packed with information, has more than 1500 high-quality images, and tells us everything about all the characters, main and secondary, in addition to the rest of creatures, vehicles, weapons, accessories and technologies.
Star Wars - The Making of the Original Trilogy - Fco. Javier Martínez García
A film saga like this, considered the most important in history, had a beginning. And, as is often the case, those principles were difficult. This book takes the reader to the heart of the story after making those first movies and it does so by distinguishing between myth and reality.
Thus we know what were the motivations behind George Lucas's vision of it, how his scripts were written or the development of an entire series of new cinematographic techniques. And of course the anecdotes y curiosities of the various shootings.
