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.
Written by a franchise expert and insider, *Star Wars Propaganda* is sure to become a keepsake for every fan and graphic artist as well.
