Reads like one of those History textbooks from back in school. Insane artwork.

Really neat book! All written in-universe, which was surprising (I just pulled this off the shelf as I was leaving the library), but so cool! I myself don't know a ton of Star Wars mythology, but if you do, you'd love this even more. I loved the designs.

Clearly a labor of love, incredibly well done, unique perspective on the star wars universe

Funny propaganda posters all around, mostly from the terrorist's viewpoint, as usual. There's some backstory telling the modern history of the GFFA from pre-tPM to post-tFA times.
Interesting stuff, even though it's heavily biased towards the wrong side of the Force :D

What I enjoyed most was that this wasn't just a book of the art (though the art is great). I really liked the fictional descriptions of each piece and the history associated with them. The pieces that came with it to hang up were lovely as well.

Something about treating fictional worlds as if they are real just tickles something in me and I love it. Big fan of this book. It's beautiful and I just had a lot of fun flipping through it.

An educational read with some gorgeous art. Most propaganda art is inspired by real pieces which is interesting but I would have liked to see more information about Mandalorian art. Although Sabine's art appears in the book which is great to see especially as Rebels is often disregarded as a media I would have liked more on Mandalore.
It was a good addition about cubism and Mandalore though but there is a mural that I would have loved to see in the book.
The Clone Wars art was mainly why I bought the book and it was good to see an author expand on the mistakes of the Jedi and the public perception of the Jedi during the Clone Wars. The Separatist propaganda was just as compelling and pointed out the obvious flaws of the Republic which made it more realistic.
Moreover, the Empire propaganda was very striking especially the ones with Darth Vader and supports canon regarding the fear citizens had towards him eg seeing him as a machine.
Altogether a good read which can appeal to all Star Wars fans as it covers all the trilogies and most characters.

A politic and propaganda history of the Republic.
Interesting! Come for the art; stay for the‰Ы_art.
Well, the narrative was interesting, too - but the art was probably the best part!
A sample:
The Clone Wars created a spike in self-published political expression, so much so that in some cases it became impossible to determine which messages were being crafted by government bodies and which were the result of impassioned citizens amplifying or originating their own.
The funny part is that it reminds me a bit of FOXNews and right-wing talk radio propaganda.
