With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker headed to Blu-ray, DVD and 4K Ultra HD on March 31, Disney is giving fans an even closer look at the final Skywalker Saga movie. Not only did the Episode IX novelization reveal surprising new details about the movie’s plot, a new reference book called The Art of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will give fans a deep dive into the new costumes, droids, ships and worlds that make up the movie.

The Art of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is written by Phil Szostak and published by Abrams Books. As in The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Szostak explores the filmmakers’ visions and illuminates their creative process. The book features concept art, costume sketches, storyboards, and blueprints, and provides a deep dive into the development of the worlds, characters, and creatures – both old and new – of The Rise of Skywalker. The book also features exclusive interviews with the filmmakers.
