Best Movie: Pablo Hidalgo Good Book

Buy on Amazon

The pablo hidalgo good book's superior materials makes sure that it ages well with use. These books always go into the nitty gritty of (mostly) every detail of the films, and this one is pretty much no exception. This visual dictionary is impressive, very impressive. It includes six exclusive cross-section illustrations of vehicles and locations from the film, a fan-favorite feature appearing for the first time in dk’s star wars visual dictionary books. The book is very detailed, especially with the weapon, side character, and planet breakdowns.

This book also combines the Visual Dictionary with the Incredible Cross-Sections series leaving the Incredible Cross-Section book series incomplete. The high quality photographs and the detailed information contained within really make this a great book to read & analyze. They are very well done and informative. It makes the overall satisfaction of flipping through the pages not as fulfilling. These books are a lot of fun and open up the galaxy that the films themselves don't have time to share.

Why We Like This:

Good gift for anyone who loves star wars and likes to collect memoribilia
Perfect for any star wars fan
Great gift for fans of the new trilogy
Excellent guide to the characters & ships in the movie

Best For Star Wars: Pablo Hidalgo Star War Encyclopedia

Buy on Amazon

Pablo Hidalgo is known for creating pragmatic and minimalist encyclopedia for people on the go, and its line of pablo hidalgo star war encyclopedia definitely falls in line with that reputation. It covers the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, The Force Awakens, and Star Wars. It works for the star wars kid trying to keep the characters straight. It covers a little bit of everything. The new book is excellent, and it continues to be a great resource for looking up characters, and brushing up on some facts about them.

There’s a handy index in the beginning of the book that lists all the entries by name with their corresponding page number which makes it easy to find who you’re looking for. The text is delivered in small chunks, so it’s great for newer readers. It makes the book a handy resource for those looking to craft character costumes or those needing a visual reference for their fan art. It makes for very brief reading and it’s not ideal if you’re trying to research a character.

Why We Like This:

Informative for novice and experienced fans
Fantastic pictures and good little blurbs about each character
Amazing high quality art and descriptions
