Our love for DK books is prodigious. Their books are renowned for their production quality and beautifully designed pages. They abound with gorgeous art and photos. And 95 percent of the reason you should pick up any DK title is to marvel at the love and attention they give to every topic.

A while back, we took a look at DK’s LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, which is a comprehensive guide to every Star Wars LEGO minifig ever produced. Yeah, it’s pretty awesome.

So we were pretty excited when a new edition of the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary (written by Simon Beecroft, Jason Fry, and Simon Hugo) landed on our desk. As expected, it’s chock full of excellent photos and goodies. Each page features close-up, highly detailed photos of sets and minifigures from 20 years of Star Wars LEGO.

Though the book does include a timeline chronicling 20 years of Star Wars sets and the milestones along the way, the book itself is organized according to in-universe Star Wars history – at least as shown in the first eight episodic films. Three primary chapters are devoted to “The Fall of the Republic” (the prequel trilogy), “The Galactic Civil War” (the original trilogy), and “The Rise of the First Order” (The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi).

Events (and LEGO sets) from The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, The Freemaker Adventures, Rogue One, and Solo are here, but each only gets a few brief mentions – if that.

A fourth chapter is dedicated to “specialist sets,” such as Microfighters, LEGO Technic, seasonal sets, and more. And a final brief chapter takes a look at the design teams who make the sets and the process each goes through while in development.

Within each chapter, spreads are dedicated to specific topics (e.g., Clone Troopers, Rebel Alliance, TIE Variants, Battle of Endor, Finn and Friends), and many photos are accompanied by data boxes that identify when the set was first released, the product number, how many pieces it included, and the “source” (i.e., which film or show it appeared in).

It’s more information that you ever wanted to know about LEGO Star Wars, but it makes for downright fascinating browsing.

As with the character encyclopedia, though, this book should come with a warning. If you put it in the hands of a LEGO/Star Wars-obsessed child, you’ll probably have a lot of explaining to do. Many of these sets and minifigs are no longer available or only available on the secondary market (i.e., eBay) at inflated prices.

And if you needed one more excuse to add the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary to your shopping list? It comes with an exclusive Finn minifig in his flexpoly bacta suit from The Last Jedi.

My only complaint with the book is relatively minor and not even unique to this book. DK’s LEGO books that come packaged with minifigs are typically twice as big as they need to be. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not complaining about the inclusion of a LEGO minifig. Far from it. But in order for the book to be flat, the figure needs to be inset in the cover. Which means the cover is at least the thickness of a minifig. For this book, that means the cover is about the same thickness as the rest of the book.

A minor gripe, to be sure. But there you go.
