Book Review: Star Wars Stormtroopers: Beyond the Armor: Star Wars: Journey to Star Wars: the Last Jedi

 

This book is not a novel and does not tell any particular story of a character. Instead, it is a blend of one of the Star Wars encyclopedias and a behind-the-scenes book that shows how the stormtroopers were conceived, shows the early artwork, the early costume concepts, and how the troops evolved from the clone trooper era during the clone wars, to the stormtroopers of the original trilogy, to the First Order Troopers. The book also includes some pop-outs, similar to what was in the Han Solo dedicated book. 

This is mostly something that die-hard Star Wars fans will get and not something that casual fans are likely to have much interest in. It is more like a coffee table book that someone would flip through as opposed to reading cover-to-cover. But, if you do read it, there is a lot of good information and insight about how the stormtroopers came to be, the various types of troopers, etc., and a lot of good behind-the-scenes information from the movies.
