Star Wars Propaganda
Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy | Pablo Hidalgo
6 posts | 3 read | 10 to read
A Star Wars authority deepens and extends our appreciation of the Star Wars galaxy with this imaginative "history" featuring striking full-color artwork—created exclusively for this entertaining volume—that examines the persuasive messages used to intimidate and inspire the citizenry of the galaxy far, far away. . . . A Star Destroyer hovering over a planet, symbolizing Imperial domination. An X-wing delivering a message of resistance and hope on behalf of the Rebellion. A line of armed, faceless First Order stormtroopers promoting unity. These are all examples of propaganda used by the Empire to advocate strength and maintain fear, and by the Rebel Alliance to inspire hope and win support for the fight. Star Wars Propaganda takes fans into the beloved epic story as never before, bringing the battle between these two sides to life in a fresh and brilliant way. Star Wars Propaganda includes fifty dazzling pieces of art representing all seven episodes—including material related to Star Wars: The Force Awakens—specially produced for this companion volume. Each page combines an original image and a short description detailing its "history:" the in-world "artist" who created it (either willingly or through coercion), where in the Star Wars galaxy it appeared, and why that particular location was targeted. Packaged in a beautifully designed case and written by a franchise expert and insider, Star Wars Propaganda also includes ten removable art prints, and is sure to become a keepsake for every fan and graphic artist as well.

Husband is not a reader person. That's doesn't mean I haven't bought him four books for Christmas. Let's be honest though, this one's just as much for me. It's so pretty! It would be rude to flip through it before I wrap it, wouldn't it?

I've always wanted an in universe history book for Star Wars and this is pretty close. The art is beautiful and it even fills in some of the questions I have about the Star Wars universe.

As we spoke about World War II before reading Elie Wiesel's Night, my students asked how people were capable of such dark deeds. I began talking about propaganda from both sides of the war. I told them I would whip up a lesson for Thursday. I'm so excited I'll get to use these! #teachersoflitsy

Today's #CostcoHaul . @BookishMarginalia 's phone died, but I didn't put her books in out of respect for her loss.

Tav Ooh jealous of Atlas Obscura. I read Forty Autumns and it is so good! I cried more than once, her family's story is so wrenching. 8y
