Go beyond the film with a novelization featuring new scenes and expanded material. As the shadows of the Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy, so do deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space, a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. A weapon too terrifying to contemplate . . . and a threat that may be too great to overcome. If the worlds at the Empire's mercy stand any chance, it lies with an unlikely band of allies- Jyn Erso, a resourceful young woman seeking vengeance; Cassian Andor, a war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook, a defector from the Empire's military; Chirrut mwe, a blind holy man and his crack-shot companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory-if only they can capture the plans to the Empire's new weapon. But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy-a monstrous world unto itself-darkens the skies. Waiting to herald the Empire's brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name- Death Star.

Star Wars ist keine bloße Filmreihe, Star Wars ist Kult. Als George Lucas 1977 Krieg der Sterne in die Kinos brachte, war dies der Beginn einer der größten Erfolgsgeschichten von Hollywood. Die Weltraum-Saga um Luke Skywalker, Prinzessin Leia, Han Solo und den finsteren Darth Vader brachen alle bisherigen Einspielrekorde und traten einen unerhörten Siegeszug um die ganze Welt an. John Knoll, Erfinder des revolutionären Bildbearbeitungsprogramms Photoshop und in Lucas’ Produktionsfirma verantwortlich für die visual effects, ist der kreative Kopf hinter den außergewöhnlichen Spezialeffekten, die einen völlig neuen Standard gesetzt haben. Dank seiner Computeranimation konnte Lucas nie zuvor gesehene Bilder auf die Leinwand bringen. Während der Dreharbeiten zu den sechs Filmen (inklusive Episode III – Die Rache der Sith) machte Knoll zahlreiche Aufnahmen am Set und im Studio, die erstmals in diesem Band versammelt sind. Ebenso enthalten sind zahlreiche Filmbilder, die den fantastischen Kosmos von Star Wars einfangen. Ein zusätzliches Plus für alle Star Wars-Fans: Das Buch enthält eine CD-ROM mit exklusiven Fotos und Mini-Videos.
