Galaxy’s Edge might be closed for now, but you can start planning your next trip this with the release of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Traveler’s Guide to Batuu by Star Wars author Cole Horton.
Welcome to Batuu, a trading post at the edge of the galaxy where smugglers, bounty hunters, and rogue adventurers swap stories, food, and goods. Like any good tourist, you’re going to need a guidebook to lead you through your visit. Here is your official guide. In 2019, Disney opened a new Star Wars addition to their parks: The planet Batuu. With STAR WARS: GALAXY’S EDGE: TRAVELER’S GUIDE TO BATUU (becker & mayer! June 23, 2020), Star Wars fans now have access to an authentic, in-world experience unlike anything they have ever seen before! This official guide to Batuu, written completely in- world, as if you are a visitor from another part of the galaxy, looking for recommendations on where to eat, shop, and sightsee during your trip to Black Spire Outpost. The guide also provides itineraries and descriptions of weekend trips “Beyond Batuu”; getaways to nearby planets and environs.
The guide features:
- Full-color illustrations and maps
- Original content from Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Imagineering
- Backstories to characters and locations found in Black Spire Outpost
Also coming this June is ‘Star Wars: Book of Lists,’ which “takes a fascinating look at the galaxy far, far away through trivia culled from both on-screen and off, spanning all nine movies.”
Star Wars: The Book of Lists (becker&mayer! April 14, 2020) takes a fascinating look at the galaxy far, far away through trivia culled from both on-screen and off, spanning all nine movies. More than a simple accounting of fan-favorite characters or biggest opening weekends, this book is a compendium of the most compelling facts about the saga and fandom summarized in 100 lists.
