Exploring the vastness of the STAR WARS universe alongside a truly versed scholar of the franchise is a whole different animal from experiencing it with a casual fan.
The captains of the franchise revival led by STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS can proclaim all they want that the fabled STAR WARS Expanded Universe is officially non-canon all they like until the dewbacks come home. However, the most devout disciples of the franchise’s legacy have firmly entrenched appreciations for the extent of detail that has gone into creating every aspect of its lore, minutiae, and exposition.
Go ahead. Name a sci-fi saga (other than STAR TREK) with so much attention to detail in its creation that an author and artist such as Jason Fry could compile a book such as STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS INCREDIBLE CROSS SECTIONS. Fry strips down vehicles from the iconic and unmistakable Millenium Falcon and X-Wing Rebel Alliance fighter to Rey’s weathered speeder into lovingly precise, faithful breakdowns of each vehicle’s fundamental workings.
It’s like a vocational school textbook in starship repair.
