Star Wars Icons Han Solo


Recently I picked up two oversize books at Ollie’s Discount Stores both of which were published by Insight Editions. One of the was Star Wars Icons Han Solo.

Perhaps the greatest rogue and scoundrel the Silver screen has ever seen is Han Solo as played by Harrison Ford in five Star Wars films.

Fans were aghast when Han died in The Force Awakens.

The beautiful oversize hardbound book comes with a half-slip case with a silhouette of Han on it along with the book title.

Behind the slipcase is a photo montage of art and photos of Han and others in the Star Wars cast.

Inside readers learn about the origin of Han, including the original Star Wars script description, characters designs and subsequent art and photos form the other Star Wars films Han appeared in.

Lavishly illustrated and filled with photos the book delves into the legacy of Han Solo right up to his death in The Force Awakens.  

A full section is dedicated to the influence Han had on other action heroes and how his legacy continues to be felt in the Star Wars films to this day.

Also included is a cornucopia of images of Han books, toys and other merchandise.  The book is the ultimate Han Solo reference tome.
