Review: (This review was written by Derek)

Star Wars Year by year covers the last 40 years of this iconic franchise. From the influences in the world which inspired this storied franchise, to a year by year breakdown of Star Wars moments, this book has it covered. 

Do you want to know what happened the you were born? Married? Other important life events? It's in there; (Kenner ships the first four action figure's the month I was born). There are loads common and not so common tidbits about the ideas, processes, development and releases of the series. There are also excellent tie ins with real world events (George Lucas's legal issues with the use of "Star Wars" as the name of a missile defense program). Lots of colour photo covering all things Star Wars makes this a visually pleasing experience. Each year begins with an interesting point, and is separated nicely by months. I found the amount of information was excellent but did not read like a history book although that is exactly what it is. I would strongly recommend this book to the Star Wars fans of all levels as it has something for everyone. 

I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

  1. In the following part, I dissect advert examples from high casino games. You’ll discover out what kind of|what type of} advertising strategies are utilized in these adverts and why they’re so effective. That’s what makes it so exhausting to stand out amongst thousands 토토커뮤니티 of casino games within the app stores. Just like many other avid gamers, these casino gamers just wish to pass the time and relieve the stress of their daily lives.
