If you love learning about the ships in Star Wars this is your book. There's not a ton about everyday use, but there are great tidbits about basic layouts and little features you wouldn't think to ask about.
The cross-sections themselves are gorgeous. Really. Some of them are worth framing.

Always been a sucker of cross sections. Especially of fake things!!! This is beautifully illustrated and presented with nice paper. Though the photo stills that pad put the book can be a bit low quality at times. But the cross sections themselves are fantastic with lots of neat detail.

Aww they are trying SO HARD to make things make sense and meanwhile literally everything has been designed only to look cool. Nothing makes sense at all.

Another of the Star Wars detail works, where you can see inside crafts and buildings. I love these books and the intricate level of new information they hand us. Definitely recommending to those who want to get down in the nitty-gritty of this whole universe.

It was so cool to read about Jakku and how Rey lived there before we see her appear in The Force Awakens. I think kids will especially love the detailed pictures of the ships and equipment she uses. The font is a bit hard to read because they used a handwriting like style to give it the journal feel. It was kinda hard to make out the writing against the backgrounds on a lot of the sketches in the journal, but that aside, it was awesome to read!
A must read for any Star Wars fan! You don't have to be a kid to enjoy this. :)

It's kind of hard to rate this to be honest. It's a very quick read and is basically a journal, full of sketches and background information about Rey's life on Jakku. If you're a SW fan it's a fun little book full of background information about Jakku and its creatures. There was one aspect* that made me wonder if it might have bearing on the overall story for the next film but overall I don't think any of this information is vital to understand the movie. It's just fun.
*Not saying what the aspect was as it's a small spoiler...

This is one of those money grab Star Wars books. I didn't exactly have high expectations, but was wanting to know more about Rey and one of the other Force Awakens books, Before the Awakening had a really good story about Rey. This one is more of a journal with a few random stories and a couple interesting bits (the story behind her helmet and rebel pilot doll—but don't get excited, it's like a two-sentence story). I'm sure the kids like it (the intended audience), but it's not exactly for me.
