These books are always my favorite to get more details and answer some questions I have after each new movie. The author is amazing and I say that as someone who followed his role at Lucasfilm since the old Hyperspace Webcam back in 2003. Altogether a great reference for those wanting to know more and a must for anyone doing any costuming from the new film.

All the eye-rolling silliness that’s part of every Star Wars visual dictionary—a picture of Snoke’s slippers, with the caption “Snoke’s painful stance has caused him to prioritize comfort,” for example, or a caption pointing to Captain Canady’s face: “Worry lines publicly display private doubts.”

For me, though, it feels like the extra details in this one are less interesting than in other volumes, and not just because so many of the story points that seemed like they’d go somewhere are discarded or modified in the next movie (the ongoing problem of current SW). Who really cares about the fish people on Ahch-To, or the elite casino guests at Canto Bight?

great reference book for the last jedi - lots of facts, some interesting, some forgettable but would definitely recommend this for any star wars fan :)

It precisely what it claims to be, a detailed look at the many details that are hard to catch when watching a movie. I enjoy seeing how much thought is put into the designs and character backgrounds, especially those that are on screen for a few seconds or less. Books like this can help answer some questions that are too lore-heavy to be compelling in film format.

The one disappointment was that the “data file” segments had a habit of adding interpretive, rather than informational, details that were unasked for. It does not seem like this book should be addressing character motivations that were left (I believe, intentionally) ambiguous in the film itself.
