The Happy Belated May The Fourth Post of 2018

May The Fourth Be With You!

Like many people I have a love for the Star Wars Universe. It's one of those things that inspire me on a daily basis. One day I hope to create my own "Star Wars Universe". It's a goal that some artists strive for when creating their own worlds. Star Wars has become the blueprint on how to create a transmedia experience.I'm currently working on two Star Wars illustrations, but they're not ready yet. In celebration of May The Fourth I wanted to showcase some books I have dedicated to Star Wars.

Art Books

I didn't have all the novels that were released but I remember getting a set of the Tales series. They were short stories about the characters you saw in the Star Wars films, told from another point of view. Shadows of the Empire I ended up buying the book, because I didn't have an Nintendo 64 to play the video game. However I really liked the book and it was an interesting story that bridges the gap between Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi. My first ever audio book happened to be Star Wars : Inferno Squad. I was looking forward to playing Star Wars Battlefront 2, but got sold into reading / listening to the story. Interesting take on how the empire operated a tactical strike team.

I plan to pick up the artbook for Solo: A Star Wars Story after the film releases. I don't want anything to spoil my expectations.-JD
