The Star Trek Encyclopedia, Revised and Expanded Edition: A Reference Guide to the Future

I’m one of these guys who can get really lost in books like this. I just love every little detail that you can learn about the world of Star Trek. As the name implies The Star Trek Encyclopedia, Revised and Expanded Edition: A Reference Guide to the Future is an updated edition with even more “stuff”.

Michael and Denise Okuda literally cover every moment from the four Star Trek series and eight films. Every planet ever visited, every food ingested, every outfit worn, and every featured character. You would be hard pressed to find much that is missing from these books. As far as I’m concerned this is a must for your Sci-Fi library.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Concept Art

When you look at this concept art from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, one thing becomes clear: This could have been a much darker movie. That probably would have been a good thing. Too bad Disney always likes to play it safe. The concept art below comes from the book, The Art of The Force Awakens, released by LucasFilm. mIt offers an interesting look at what they had originally planned.

To me Rey and Finn look much more a part of the Star Wars universe in their outfits here. BB-8 also went through several changes. I kind of like that bulky look. It’s less cutesy and more utilitarian. Kylo Ren? He could have looked far more menacing. There are so many interesting things to see here and you know what that means. I have to get this book and drool over these images.
