This article was originally published on TatooineTimes.com

In addition to a novel, comic book, and collectibles, fans now have The Art of Star Wars: Visions to add to their collection! This expertly crafted, full-color, oversized hardcover book allows readers to dive into the world of Star Wars: Visions as they never have before. The executive producers of the show—James Waugh, Josh Rimes, and Jacqui Lopez—describe how the passions of creatives from around the globe came together and made this epic collection of animated shorts into a reality in their foreword. In the pages that follow, writer Zack Davisson gives each Visions short their own time to shine, and allows each animation studio to speak to the inspirations for their films. And let’s not forget that each page is filled with production stills, concept art, sketches, and design work, a true feast for the eyes!

Since childhood I’ve been a fan of animation art books. I remember pouring over them endlessly, and being particularly drawn to how the final product started with hand drawn sketches and concept art. The Art of Star Wars: Visions provides this same type of experience, allowing readers to soak in all the creative work that goes into producing a series of this caliber. What sets this book apart is how it’s really nine art books in one, showcasing the beauty and diversity each studio brings to the series. Additionally, the book is a vehicle to display the variety of art styles found in Japanese animation. Whether you’re new to Anime or you have a particular aesthetic preference, there’s something for everyone to enjoy with this book.

The Art of Star Wars: Visions comes in standard and deluxe editions. Standard edition features the mashup character artwork from the show and the deluxe edition comes with an exclusive slipcase, cover and portfolio which houses three gallery-quality prints.

The Art of Star Wars: Visions is a must-have item for fans of the series, and is the perfect way to bring a piece of the show into your home.
