"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.
