Yes, we'll happily admit it, we're Star Wars nerds. Star Trek is OK, but when it comes to sitting down with a popcorn movie or two, we can't resist delving into our Star Wars collection (fave film - Daddy: Empire Strikes Back, Charlotte: Episode VII, just in case you were wondering).
If you're a youngling looking for a brilliant entry point to the sprawling and massive Star Wars Universe, it can be a bit daunting.
Thankfully Christian Blauvelt's new book gives you a massive head start with a fantastic pictorial beginner's guide to the movie, TV, comic and book universe.
Each page spread covers specific subjects and different Star Wars 'eras' covering the original trilogy, the prequels and of course the new movies and spin-off TV shows, the books - you name it and it's in here.
Superb technical illustrations, stills from the films and infographics are spread across each page with tons and tons of details about the characters, settings, worlds and all the lovely lovely technology that gives Star Wars its distinctive look and feel.
