An interesting "in-universe" look at different objects from the movies/LF archives.

As an art historian, I really enjoyed reading this book. I love imagining that the galaxy far, far away is real, and this was the setting of this book. I imagined Kristin Baver walking me around a Skywalker Museum exhibition. The writing was immersive and really reminded me of a real museum catalogue.

This was a look at 100 objects from Star Wars broken down by the Republic Era, Imperial Era, New Republic Era, and First Order Era. Each entry contains a location, date, a bio detailing the item and its importance to Star Wars history, and then a photograph of the item from the Skywalker Ranch and LucasFilm Archive. 

This was an interesting look at some of Star Wars most iconic items and some not so iconic but are important to the history of the world. I enjoyed learning about these objects, even if a few were a bit boring. I assume that the archives limited what could and couldn’t be included in the book because I know there are restrictions at all archives. I do wish that we had gotten a still image of each of the items from the movies and shows to put some of these items in context of the scenes they were in, but the archival images were great and high quality.
