Star Wars The Blueprints Review

Review by John Derricks submitted via email

Star Wars: The Blueprints contains the original blueprints that were made and used for the Star Wars Saga. The images are accompanied by a lot of commentary and show the extreme detail that was the foundation for a truly epic movie cycle. The funny thing is that you don’t even need to be a hardcore Star Wars fan to appreciate these drawings. Just from a technical and engineering perspective alone, these wonderful blueprints are true eyecandy. The amount of detail in these drawings is incredible. I wouldn’t what else to call it. This IS the ultimate book on Star Wars and it’s a massive release. How massive you ask? It has it’s own trailer!

The book has a list price of $500 (an an average online price of around $450). This might look a bit steep but wait until you see the sheer quality of the blueprints. For a full list of all the blueprints click here.

This book will give you the ultimate, rare insight in the foundations of what ultimately became one of the most beloved science fiction stores of all time. Among the never before seen artpieces are views of the Rebel blockade runner hallways, the bridge of the flagship of General Grievous, the interior of the Falcon, and the palace of Jabba.

The book measures 15.5 inches wide by 18.5 inches tall, contains 336 pages and offers more than 250 blueprints and 500 photographs and illustrations. The entire thing weighs a stunning 22 pounds.

Needless to say such an exclusive release doesn’t come in a cheap case either. The book is encased in a custom dyed cloth material enclosure with debossed stamping on the spine and cover and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the publishers president. So the entire package has the looks to match the pricetag.

Star Wars: The Blueprints is limited to 5,000 hand numbered copies

Positives

• A lot of never before seen artwork presented in a beautiful high quality book that will entertain both fans as well as engineers
• Not your average behind the scenes book
• Insane amount of stunningly detailed blue prints and photographs

Negatives

Aside from the fact that there are a few of the drawings don’t contain any measurements, which is kind of weird for blueprints, there isn’t much I can complain about with this release. It’s pretty damn magnificent.

Verdict

This is a beautiful limited edition book of very high quality. But its odd that a publication of this sheer size and magnitude and most importantly a hefty price doesn’t come with a little something extra. The price will definitely put some people off and I wonder if aside from the novelty factor for engineers there will be a huge audience for this besides hardcore Star Wars fans. But if you can spare the money and love Star Wars then you’ll want to have this.
