However, some fans may be disappointed to find their favorite scenes offer little additional insight about characters’ thoughts, and it’s never clear why some moments receive additional detail or flourishes that didn’t appear in the film, and others don’t. Leia Organa, and, even though it’s a brief scene, it handily delineates where the Empire and the rebellion currently stand-perhaps better than the actual film manages to do. For example, the book opens with a look at the ruminations of Gen. As with any novelization, what’s sure to attract readers is what isn’t in the movie. When he realizes that she's in possession of a droid containing a sought-after map, they team up to return the droid to a rebel base, gaining some unwanted attention from what remains of the Empire, now known as the First Order. Finn, a stormtrooper who’s fled his post, crosses paths with her when he crash-lands on her desert homeworld, Jakku. As novelized here, Rey is a scavenger eking out a solitary existence.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Incredible Cross-Sections is available at Amazon ( US | CA | UK | DE | FR | IT | ES | JP | CN) and Book Depository Overall, I would highly recommend this to the fans. I just can't imagine how long he took to draw each piece with such astonishing amount of detail. The quality of Kemp Remillard's art is fantastic. If not, there would only be 30 over pages. Yeah, they look good but I feel they are just there to increase the number of pages. There are 7 double-page spreads of film stills.
Not all the pages are filled with cross-sections. Many of the vehicles do look and feel very familiar, but sometimes you wish they could have introduced more radical designs. The design sense is similar to other films, which can be a good or bad thing. Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle is cool with the folded wings. If you have earlier books, you can compare how the X-Wings and Tie Fighters have been updated. This book, together with Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary is a must-have for Star Wars fans who like learn more about every little detail from the movie. It's really cool to be able to see the vehicles close up because their appearance on screen are fleeting. There are also descriptions explaining the mechanism and engineering aspects. Parts of each vehicle are also labeled, just like an infographic. There are lots of details so printing them so big really helps. The art looks fantastic, painted and 3D at the same time. Kemp Remillard's the artist for the artworks. Just like the earlier cross-section books, this is a large hardcover featuring the cross-section art of selected spaceships and vehicles from the new movie. There has been a cross-section book for every Star Wars film so it's not surprising there's one for Star Wars: The Force Awakens too.
