This book took a light amount of time to read through. I was really excited when my Mom brought this book home that I read it on the same exact day. It’s a beautiful book with nice solid hardcovers and beautiful glossy pages that smell great. The cover artwork is beautiful and unique with great colors, it’s simple enough to not overwhelm but related to the book and not underwhelming. The pages have great coloring and exact images from the movie. The book is an odd size but not a bad size, just makes it stand out a bit. It’s larger than your average hardcover but not as large as a usual visual guide or storybook. The book is really informative. It’s pretty cool how the different main important characters each have large fact file boxes catered to facts specifically about them (usually with up to 4-5 facts that are numbered easily for separation and distinction). The book includes information on the different creatures, droids, Starships and vehicles of the movie as well which was a good aspect since they’re so important to the movie as much as any other aspect. The book even included information on important planets to the movie including their climate and atmosphere. It was fun to take the yes/no quizzes for “which character you would be” or “what planet you’d like to vacation on?” I learned a lot from this book I feel and I truly enjoyed reading it. One of the most important things I learned were individual facts about the different Knights of Ren, including their weapons, how they like to fight or their personalities. I even learned which Knight pilots their ship. You don’t really hear the Knights of Ren mentioned very often as they’re such minor characters and they’re hardly seen or mentioned for only a few moments on screen. I honestly didn’t even know there WERE facts and personalities to each Knight of Ren out there because they’re so minor. The book also included some facts about minor Resistance characters and leaders not mentioned or seen very often in the movie. The rating on this book is a 3.0 due to the fact that I wouldn’t pick it up to read it again but I do recommend this book to any Rise of Skywalker (or just Star Wars in general) lovers to learn some new facts in a quick and enjoyable read. The book leaves off on a hopeful ending with a joyous and dedicated quote at the end about the Resistance and its members. The book does not reveal how the Rise of Skywalker movie ends or the climax and major fights, rather focusing on providing you with the basic facts and knowledge about the different factions (Resistance vs First Order, Jedi vs Sith) and characters as well as creatures, droids, vehicles, starships and machines to explain the advantages of the First Order over the Resistance. The book tends to want to help you make your own conclusions as to if the Resistance or the First Order will triumph over the Galaxy-Wide Conflict. By not revealing the ending the book makes you want to hope for the Resistance to win in their struggle against the First Order. The book leaves off where the Resistance Team’s mission on Pasaana ends and has some short facts about Kef Bir and Jannah before ending out on the hopeful note.
