This top-secret cache reproduces highly sensitive intelligence that traces the Rebel Alliance from its formation through its tireless fight against the Empire. From its earliest beginnings in covert opposition to Imperial operations, the Alliance could not trust its most sensitive information to risk of digital interception. Instead, it was kept in a secure case, traveling with key senior Rebel personnel. Lost in the chaos surrounding the Battle of Endor, it was rediscovered many years later by the newly formed Resistance.

Richly illustrated and full of strategic detail and history, the files also feature additional annotation by Resistance members such as General Leia Organa, Mon Mothma, Poe Dameron, and Admiral Ackbar, making this a crucial read for fans seeking a deeper understanding of the saga.

Beginn des neuen Handlungsbogen Hope Dies. Enthält mehrere Variants, die wir zur Übersicht mal einzeln unten aufführen. Siehe auch die entsprechende Vorschaumeldung.

Few books or games have had as enduring an impact upon the Star Wars galaxy and its fans as Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Originally published by West End Games in 1987, it arrived at a time when the future of the Star Wars galaxy was uncertain, and it captivated a whole generation of gamers with rules and guidelines that made it easy to design and enjoy adventures truly worthy of the Star Wars universe and its ongoing space opera.

Our Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game 30th Anniversary Edition is a faithful, limited edition recreation of both Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game and The Star Wars Sourcebook, both printed with higher quality than the originals and packaged in a stylized slipcase.

Exciting Star Wars experiments for young scientists, makers, crafters, and creators

Ever wanted to move things without touching them like a Jedi can? Or grow a kyber crystal? Or maybe use a beam of energy to explode a balloon, just like the Death Star? Now that’s possible!

With 20 amazing projects, Star Wars Maker Lab teaches the aspiring padawan how to become a master of science, in both the real world and the Star Wars galaxy. Using clear step-by-step instructions, the book guides home scientists and makers through each exciting experiment—from making Jabba’s gooey slime or a hovering landspeeder, to an Ewok catapult or a glowing Gungan Globe of Peace. Each experiment has fact-filled panels to explain real-world scientific principles and the scientific method, as well as the Star Wars science fiction from the movies.

With projects that are out of this world, this fantastic Star Wars book will keep children entertained for hours, making use of many household items such as cardboard tubes, baking soda, cornstarch, straws, balloons, and food coloring. There is also plenty to keep more adventurous scientists enthralled, with instructions on how to make a bristlebot mouse droid, lightsaber duel, Cloud City in a bottle, plus hoop gliders, musical instruments, and quicksand. Other fun experiments show readers how to freeze Han Solo in tonic-water carbonite, turn eggs into colorful planets, isolate DNA, create a tractor beam, harvest water like moisture farmers on Tatooine, and project images—or even messages—like R2-D2.

Star Wars Maker Lab supports STEAM topics and helps children to learn the basics of science by traveling through the Star Wars galaxy. May the (static) Force be with you!
