It turns out that you don’t need to go to a galaxy far (far!) away to get your hands on some Star Wars books, as you can grab quite a few of them at a big discount for Black Friday. Several books detailing the lore of the films and how those movies were made are now on sale.
A prime example here is Star Wars Timelines for $14.80 (was $50). For Star Wars historians, this is a very cool chronological guide to the major events of the series, covering the time before the High Republic and leading up to the end of the First Order in the sequel trilogy. Key moments are explored in detail here and arranged by era, so if you ever wanted to see how Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber ended up in Maz Kanata’s bar or how the Empire’s TIE Fighter evolved over the years, this is the book to have.
