- The Star Wars Archives Book
- Star Wars exploded onto our cinema screens in 1977, and the world has not been the same since.
- After watching depressing and cynical movies throughout the early 1970s, audiences enthusiastically embraced the positive energy of the Star Wars universe as they followed moisture farmer Luke Skywalker on his journey through a galaxy far, far away, meeting extraordinary characters like mysterious hermit Obi-Wan Kenobi, space pirates Han Solo and Chewbacca, loyal droids C-3PO and R2-D2, bold Princess Leia and the horrific Darth Vader, servant of the dark, malevolent Emperor.
- Writer, director, and producer George Lucas created the modern monomyth of our time, one that resonates with the child in us all.
- He formed Industrial Light & Magic to develop cutting-edge special effects technology, which he combined with innovative editing techniques and a heightened sense of sound to give audiences a unique sensory cinematic experience.

New Solo: A Star Wars Story: Expanded Edition Book now available!
Walmart has debuted a brand new Solo: A Star Wars Story: Expanded Edition book! This book costs $18.32 and shipping is free.
According to the details:
The perfect holiday gift for Han Solo fans! Don’t miss the exclusive content in this thrilling adaptation of Solo: A Star Wars Story, with scenes from alternate versions of the script including Han Solo’s time in the Imperial Navy, Qi’ra’s past, the beginnings of the rebellion, and more!
Though Han Solo has thrilled Star Wars fans for decades, the notorious wisecracking scoundrel was chasing adventure and dodging trouble long before he walked into the cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport.
Young Han dreams of someday soaring into space at the helm of his own starship and leaving his home, the gritty industrial planet Corellia, far behind. But as long as he’s trapped in a life of poverty and crime–and under the thumb of the sinister Lady Proxima and her brutal street gang–reaching the distant stars seems impossible.
When Han tries to escape with his girlfriend and partner-in-crime, Qi’ra, he makes it out–but she doesn’t.
Desperate for a way to find his own offworld vessel and free her, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy–the last place for a rebellious loner who doesn’t play well with others. When the Empire clips his wings, Han goes rogue and plunges into the shady world of smugglers, gamblers, and con artists.
There he meets the charming and cunning high roller Lando Calrissian, makes an unlikely friend in a cantankerous Wookiee called Chewbacca, and first lays eyes on the Millennium Falcon.
To snag his piece of the outlaw pie, Han joins a crew of pirates to pull off a risky heist. The stakes are high, the danger is great, and the odds are slim. But never tell Han Solo the odds.
