Star Wars Absolutely Everything You Need to Know – The Journey to the Force Awakens
Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know is packed full of fascinating Star Wars trivia, fast facts, and Q&As presented in a really fun and visual format. This is a great way to brush up on all things Star Wars before the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The book covers all six Star Wars movies as well as the Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV shows.
Click the image below to enlarge it and learn about C-3PO and R2-D2. Did you know that C-3PO is fluent in six million ways to communicate? Good thing too, or we’d never know what R2-D2 is saying (in binary).
