TWO sumptuous picture books that can't fail to appeal to diehard Star Wars fans.

The Ultimate Visual Guide tells the Star Wars story in film stills and drawings.

There's a galactic history, a section devoted to each of the films, plus a behind the scenes section looking at the making of the films.

Complete Locations is even more lavish, consisting of film stills but also painstaking cut-away illustrations of all the major locations used in the films.

Get inside the Death Star as never before, burrow deep into the Mustafar Mines, or take a stroll through the galactic senate building. They're all here, in glorious detail.
