" -Concrete Islands "10 out of 10 stars" -Starburst Magazine Holiday Gift Guide Pick "What makes this a truly great gift, though, is the character analysis included for each person. Backgrounds, catch phrases, motivations, mistakes, and victories are painted in prose alongside beautiful illustrations of each character. The tome brings the characters to life in a visceral way. Whether you’re trying to inspire greatness in a young one, or foster understanding of the greater universe, Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy is the perfect gift for most any age." Geek Dad "this is not only good for the Star Wars fan who knows everything about this universe, but for the more casual fan looking to get into the world or even for a future Star Wars fan you are cunningly trying to convert so you can nerd out about Star Wars together. You're welcome." -Den of Geek! Holiday Gift Pick "This glorious look at the powerful females of the Star Wars universe is jam-packed with stunning illustrations all drawn by women and non-binary artists. From Leia to Rey, Ahsoka Tano to Jyn Erso, this coffee table book is essential for any fans of the series and celebrates its female heroes (and villains!) in a fascinating way." -The Nerd Daily "A beautiful anthology...that will inspire you again and again with stories of courage, daring, and love from the women whose stories influenced your childhood and those who continue to do so through new additions to the canon. Star Wars fans will love this book and it will especially resonate with women and girls looking to find their own place in the galaxy." Geek Mom Holiday Gift Pick "Devoted fans will likely recognize most (if not all) of the rogues, rebels, and imperials in the full-page illustrations, but the visually rich Women of the Galaxy also serves as an excellent introduction to the series for any interested reader-of any age or gender identity." -Fortune.com "The result is something that is at once informative about characters both iconic - Leia and Rey get multiple pages of attention - and obscure (Prepare to meet R2-KT and learn all about the singer of Jabba’s house band from Return of the Jedi), and a reminder of the depth of the cast list of the Star Wars franchise." - The Hollywood Reporter “[Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy] contains profiles of 75 canonical female characters, fully illustrated in a striking array of styles (a postcard set’s also available). The text deftly weaves in-universe and out; obscure pastel droid R2-KT will remain in your memory banks much longer after reading her heart-rending off-screen backstory.” - Total Film Holiday Gift Guide pick -The Mary Sue "My favorite parts of the book involve getting to dig in to some of the more obscure characters that the casual fan may not be aware of, characters like Rae Sloane, Kyrsta Agate, or Ciena Ree from the novels and Doctor Aphra, Sana Starros, or Queen Trios from the comics. There’s even a whole page dedicated to Mama the Hutt (Jabba’s grandmother) from the Clone Wars series which I found to be both refreshing and hilarious at the same time." -StarWarsNews.Net “ Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy is wonderfully illustrated, with 100 all new illustrations by a range of female and non-binary
