So excited, in fact, that we decided to travel to a galaxy far, far away to make a list of our favorite Star Wars books…

Here’s what we found!

Star Wars: Crimson Empire by Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley

From revenge to redemption, the story of Emperor Palpatine’s Royal Guard, Kir Kanos, takes him from the deserts of Yinchorr, to the halls of Imperial power, and to the inner circle of the New Republic.

 

William Shakespeare’s The Empire Striketh Back by Ian Doescher

A fun Shakespearean twist on (in my humble opinion) the best Star Wars film of all time! Clever and hilarious, you can read this one out loud with your friends while standing in line for the movie!

 

 

Star Wars Art: Comics

Filled with beautiful artwork spanning the history of Star Wars comic publishing, this book features hand-selected works from George Lucas.

 

 

 

Myth, Media, and Culture in Star Wars: An Anthology,
Edited by Douglas Brode and Leah Deyneka

Take an intellectual dive into Star Wars fandom and culture through this collection of essays. Maybe it will provide some inspiration for your next research paper!

 

 

You can check out any of these books at the Annandale Campus Library. Until then, have fun seeing the movie, and may the force be with you!
