New Book and Music Purchase: Star Wars Art of Books and Soundtracks

My Schitt's Creek binge-athon is going to start a little later than I planned since I forgot to post my New Book and Music Purchase.

Apparently my Star Wars obsession has really kicked in and it hasn't been this bad since Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series first premiered. Not only have I seen Rogue One which I loved but I also got the Star Wars: Ahsoka book (which I'll post at another time) as a Christmas gift and not to mention I bought myself The Princess Diarist and the Rogue One novelization.

Yes, Star Wars has become yet again my latest obsession which coincides with current obsession of Art of Books and Soundtracks. I just love it when my obsessions intersect.



Books


Book: The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Josh Kushins

Description:

This book is a visual chronicle of the Lucasfilm art department’s creation of new worlds, unforgettable characters, and newly imagined droids, vehicles, and weapons for the first movie in the Star Wars Story series—Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In the same format and style as Abrams’ The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the book gives readers unprecedented access to hundreds of concept paintings, sketches, storyboards, matte paintings, and character, costume, and vehicle designs. The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will stand as the definitive guide to the artwork and imagination behind the newest chapter in the Star Wars franchise and will delight Star Wars fans and cineastes for decades to come.
