Summary

Uncover the secrets of the Skywalkers: the family that shaped a galaxy far， far away 。。。

The Skywalker story has everything: passion， intrigue， heroism， and dark deeds。

This revelatory biography explores every twist and turn of the Skywalker dynasty: the slow seduction to the dark side of Anakin; his doomed marriage to Padmé Amidala; the heroics of Luke and Leia; the fall and redemption of Han Solo and Princess Leia's son， Ben; and the struggles of his dyad in the Force， Rey。

Leaving no stone unturned in tracing the dynasty's trials and tribulations， this definitive biography of Star Wars' first family explores and explains the deeper， more personal story of the Skywalkers， their characters， motivations， and， against seemingly impossible odds， their ultimate triumph。

I thought this book is made of unknown stories in the movies but it is actually a summary of the movies。。

Compiling pretty much all canon in a chronological order， Skywalker does a pretty admirable job of telling the Skywalker arc in a “historical” manner。The problem is that this book doesn’t present anything new or exciting。 While reading the entire history of the family was moderately enjoyable at first （especially the prequel era）， by the time we got to the dreaded sequel trilogy， the story got stale and repetitive。This isn’t Baver’s fault。 She actually does a good job with taking everything that Compiling pretty much all canon in a chronological order， Skywalker does a pretty admirable job of telling the Skywalker arc in a “historical” manner。The problem is that this book doesn’t present anything new or exciting。 While reading the entire history of the family was moderately enjoyable at first （especially the prequel era）， by the time we got to the dreaded sequel trilogy， the story got stale and repetitive。This isn’t Baver’s fault。 She actually does a good job with taking everything that the last 40+ years of Star Wars presented and telling it in one concise book。 Instead， the fault lies， as we all know， on Disney and their terrible handling of the IP。 Lucas’s vision was perfection， as made clear by how well the prequels flow into the original films， but the plot and overall storyline of the sequels proves just how terrible they were。 Overall， it’s a decent read and a great way to get new fans into the Skywalker saga， but to old school fans， it’s nothing new。 。。。more

This book is a lot more then I was expecting it to be。 I would have rated it 4。5 stars but I definitely think it deserves a round up instead of down。 I can't hate the book for being what it is supposed to be。 It is written a bit like a history/summary book of the Skywalker family， and that is exactly what it is supposed to be。The reason the book is more that I expected is not only does it cover events of the movies （prequels， original， and sequel trilogies and Rouge One and Solo）， the series （Cl This book is a lot more then I was expecting it to be。 I would have rated it 4。5 stars but I definitely think it deserves a round up instead of down。 I can't hate the book for being what it is supposed to be。 It is written a bit like a history/summary book of the Skywalker family， and that is exactly what it is supposed to be。The reason the book is more that I expected is not only does it cover events of the movies （prequels， original， and sequel trilogies and Rouge One and Solo）， the series （Clone Wars including the final season， Rebels）， but not Bad Batch， aside from their appearance in the final season of Clone Wars， or The Mandolorin。 It also does what I wish the sequel movie directors did an researches all the book and comics current releases in the Disney era of Star Wars。 Any book with a mention of any Skywalker is in here。This book is a great read to relive some of my favourite Star Wars moments。 As well as some of my not so favourite ones but as the books says you have to take the good with the bad （in the form of light and dark sides）。 As I have not read all the Star Wars comics there were some extra bit of information in here as well as a confirmation of a under used character from the Rise of Skywalker in terms of their abilities。 The book also has done great pictures from the movies。 A very good summary of the Disney era。 。。。more

A book all fans of the Universe should own！As a non-spolier。。。 this is NOT a new story， or fictional tale。 This is a sketch biography of thr Skywalker lineage and heritage。I LOVED the concept of this。。。 I mean， what other family。。。 possibly in all of literature or pop-culture had as much of a bearing on the fate of an entire galaxy， if not the Skywalkers？While， I will grant， at times it feel like this is a bit of a 'sum-up' of the action in the core movies， as you get further into the book you f A book all fans of the Universe should own！As a non-spolier。。。 this is NOT a new story， or fictional tale。 This is a sketch biography of thr Skywalker lineage and heritage。I LOVED the concept of this。。。 I mean， what other family。。。 possibly in all of literature or pop-culture had as much of a bearing on the fate of an entire galaxy， if not the Skywalkers？While， I will grant， at times it feel like this is a bit of a 'sum-up' of the action in the core movies， as you get further into the book you find that it ties in so much more。 Multiple films， TV adaptations and expanded universe stories are all depicted chronologically， giving new insight into the psyche and inward/outward pressures effecting the Skywalkers。Too， I found that it helped paint a more complete picture of the back third of the series of movies， showing the continuing legacy of the Skywalkers。Love it or hate it， respect it。 For this is the first deep look at the complexities around Pop-Culture's First Family at war。 。。。more

If you want a completely skewed perception of the movies this is the book for you。

Did you ever hear of the tragedy of the Skywalker line？ How do you sum up the entirety of the Skywalker saga into the pages of a single book？ A story that spans over forty years for us and nearly seven decades in canon。 Somehow， Kristin Baver has managed to beautifully record their tragic legacy in Skywalker: A Family at War。 （READ MORE: https://yourmoneygeek。com/review-skyw。。。） Tackling the entire breadth of the Skywalker legacy， from the birth of Anakin Skywalker to the death of Ben Solo， is n Did you ever hear of the tragedy of the Skywalker line？ How do you sum up the entirety of the Skywalker saga into the pages of a single book？ A story that spans over forty years for us and nearly seven decades in canon。 Somehow， Kristin Baver has managed to beautifully record their tragic legacy in Skywalker: A Family at War。 （READ MORE: https://yourmoneygeek。com/review-skyw。。。） Tackling the entire breadth of the Skywalker legacy， from the birth of Anakin Skywalker to the death of Ben Solo， is no easy feat and yet Kristin Baver has created a true masterpiece that belongs on the shelves of every Star Wars fan。 Skywalker: A Family at War is an official biography， written as though some storied historian in a galaxy far， far away has compiled the most intimate and personal moments of the Skywalker’s story into the pages of a fabled tome。The book is laid out in three parts — much like the trilogy of trilogies。 Fifteen chapters encompass “Part One: The Father，” eleven chapters delve into “Part Two: The Twins，” and finally eight chapters are dedicated to “Part Three: The Dyad。” Some of my personal favorite aspects of the book include the chapter about Qui-Gon Jinn （“Qui-Gon’s Promise”） and the entirety of “Part Three: The Dyad” which finally sheds a comprehensive light on the Dark Side corruption that began tormenting Ben Solo while he was still in-utero。 The latter is something that has been alluded to in novels and comics， but finally， it has been discussed as the tragedy it is。 It takes a talented author to write a book that makes The Rise of Skywalker palatable to me。 Anyone who knows me knows that the final chapter of the Skywalker Saga left a bitter taste in my mouth， yet Baver was able to make it bittersweet instead。 Will I ever be fully at peace with the story choices？ Maybe， someday。 But in the interim， I can appreciate the way that Baver presented these choices within the scope of the Skywalker legacy。 Laid out， in black and white， the “it’s like poetry， it rhymes” moments are clear to see。 There are some really interesting topics brought back into focus and I look forward to hearing many-a Star Wars podcast and Twitter account discussing the intricacies and nuances that only a former crime journalist， like Kristin Baver， can expose so eloquently。 Skywalker: A Family at War is Kristin Baver’s debut Star Wars book and I am ready to see her write more biographical novels about the stories that we love most。 She has an innate ability for weaving together the intricate themes presented in Star Wars while creating an engaging and page-turning story。 This book sums up the entirety of forty years of storytelling so succinctly and masterfully that it is a must-have for anyone well-versed in Star Wars or those just now learning about the tragedy of the Skywalkers。  。。。more
