Book Review: Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu

 


This really serves as a dual-function book. First, and probably most importantly (at least for Disney), it serves as a guidebook for its Galaxy's Edge theme parks at Disneyland and Disneyworld, which use the planet Batuu as their setting. Second, it gives some context to some of the newer canon novels set in Batuu.

The hardcover version of the book is just under 150 pages and can easily be read in a few hours. It mostly talks about people and attractions that you can see in the theme park and dribbles in a bit of Star Wars history here and there as well. It does not read like a novel at all and does not really even need to be read cover-to-cover. My one real issue with the book is that the print can get fairly small, and some of the pages are colored, and the print can blend in with the page color, making it very hard to read for people with bad eyesight and/or who are colorblind. Aside from that, it is not something that I would call a must-read by any means, but if you are a hardcore Star Wars fan, especially one who plans on visiting one of the parks, it is something you can easily get through in a day or so.
