Star Wars: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story The Official Collector's Edition

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."...the story of how the Rebel Alliance obtained the plans to the infamous Death Star has been explored in various forms over the years in what was once called the "Star Wars Expanded Universe." For example, in1981, a thrilling radio drama expansion of "Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope" first revealed Princess Leia Organa's role in stealing the Death Star plans from the Empire. In the decades since the birth of the "Star Wars Saga, novels and video games have furthered the legend of this crucial tale of brave resistance fighters struggling to defeat a powerful galactic enemy."Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - The Official Collector's Edition" is a beautifully illustrated, 98 paged hardcover book that serves as a companion tome to the 2016 motion picture that tells the definitive story of the fate of the plans of the "armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet!" Opening with an overview of the Saga from "The Phantom Menace" to "Revenge of the Sith," this special volume then provides a brief background on the origins of the Rebel Alliance, followed by profiles of the band of Rebels that would come to be called "Rogue One," led by the combative and courageous Jyn Urso. Character studies of the Rebels' Imperial foes are also featured, including a look at the cinematic return of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.This "Collector's Edition" also contains sections on some of the ships and other hardware used by the opposing forces in the "Rogue One" film, from the U Wing troop transport flown by the Alliance, to the Tie Striker fighter craft that takes flight for the Empire. The book concludes with pages devoted to some of the concept art created by the movie's imaginative designers.The true highlight of this book are the beautifully reproduced photographs that accompany the informative text of the collection. They give the reader excellent images of the fascinating characters showcased in this rewardingly different "Star Wars" film adventure.This collection is released by Titan Publishing Group Limited, the company behind the long running "Star Wars Insider" Magazine.

It is also published with a trio of covers: A "Heroes" cover, a "Villains" cover and a "Death Trooper" cover, which is being sold exclusively through comic specialty stores.A well designed book showcasing the cast and technology from the film directed by Gareth Edwards, the "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Official Collector's Edition" comes recommended by this "Star Wars" fan.To quote Jyn Urso: "May the Force be with us!"

This is a good book. Star Wars finally gets the movie guide treatment from titan publishing and it does not disappoint one bit. Harking back to official movie guidebooks of an earlier generation with biographies of characters and weapons and behind the scenes concept drawings this book is a must buy

It's a well put-together book. The coverage is great and the photos look very good on the paper stock. The pages themselves are thinner and more magazine-like in quality, but having it in a hardcover binding lends a lot of quality to the product. Rogue One was a movie I didn't like as much as the sage films, but as an avid collector of Star Wars books and memorabilia, I don't regret this purchase.

Interesting facts and information.

I bought this book for a Christmas Present for someone who is obsessed with Star Wars. He loved it and was very appreciative to get this collectible book.

Another addition to my Star Wars collection. Only difference, some characters are not included for some reason.

OK.

If you are a Star Wars fan this book is a must have,

As previous people have said, the book itself is very small and thin, much smaller than a A4 page. it does have some nice pictures inside but not enough to warrant keeping it. The big issue was that the pages are all warped, almost like it's a Print on Demand on a poor quality printing press. I also returned mine as for the price it is not worth buying. Maybe for a couple of quid or so I would say yes, but definitely not worth paying £14 plus! You are better off buying this book - Star Wars Rogue One The Ultimate Visual Guide- from Amazon for almost half the price - double the pages and a nice coffee table book size.

The cover of this book states it is a behind the scenes look at Rogue One. Apart from a few concept sketches there are no behind the scenes pics. Just brief descriptions of each character by a portrait photo. Book is very thin as is the paper used. Mine has slightly crinkled pages throughout. Not sure if this was due to the poor quality or if it has got damp at some point. I have returned this book in disappointment. However I cannot fault Amazon's efficiency in delivery and returns.

its just smaller then A4 size, 98 pages 4mm thick = magazine quality paper which came pre-warped, also the binding clicks and cracks as you open it, so i carnt expect much life out of it. The contents are pretty good, the images are nice and sharp, the text size is just passable on height and i like the layout of the characters etc. its basically a nice magazine in the hardback. worth £14.99 nope maybe a tenner....but its star wars

Less information than expected. Should have got the Art of instead.

Lovely soft-back presentation of a book. Wonderful pictures and a nice accompaniment to the latest in the Star Wars Saga.
