The Best of Star Wars Insider Volume 2

Millions upon millions of words have been written about Star Wars. Press releases, reviews, interviews, college thesis papers, philosophical treatises, in-depth analyses… you name it, someone has written it. But for years now, much of the best writing about the Star Wars franchise has appeared in the pages of Star Wars Insider magazine.

The Best of Star Wars Insider, Volume 2 continues that fine tradition by collecting some of the most fascinating and insightful articles from the last five years. In these pages, you get everything from Paglia on Lucas’s artistic legacy to the many connections between the Indiana Jones films and the Star Wars trilogy.

But arguably the highlights of the collection are the unsung heroes who deservingly get the spotlight, like members of the production staff and special effects teams, the puppeteers who brought Jabba to life, and others. Learning about the nitty-gritty details of bringing that universe to life only make it more wondrous to watch again later.

This is the perfect gift for any Star Wars fan in your life, because I guarantee you they’ll learn something new about the franchise within these pages.
