The Architecture of Star Wars

Well, hopefully, with age you’ve adopted more serious concerns and sought out life’s greater mysteries and meanings (though we’re not sure that’s entirely true for all of you). But for nostalgia’s sake, you’ll want to get your hands on Star Wars: the Blueprints, a book so big it needed its own trailer (below). The new tome contains the most comprehensive compilation of working drawings and architectural plans that served as the basis for the ships, space ports, planets, buildings and infrastructure against which the Star Wars films played out. With over 500 photographs and illustrations, the book lays out in detail everything from the workings of Tatooine’s quirky farming machinery or the robotic constitution of R2-D2. Here’s to hoping you’ll be able to build your own droid!

The book, which weight 35 pounds and cost $500, is limited to 5,000 prints, so you’ll have to act fast to secure your own copy. To find out more about the book, click here
