Star Wars: 1,000 Collectibles
One of the best things about being a Star Wars fan is the seemingly endless array of Lucas-licensed merchandise. Written by Lucasfilm employee and master collector Stephen Sansweet, Star Wars: 1,000 Collectibles: Memorabilia and Stories from a Galaxy Far, Far Away ($24) draws on Sansweet's 75,000+ item collection — housed at a place called Rancho Obi-Wan — to display some of the coolest items ever made available, from fan-made items to the ubiquitous Pez dispenser, all photographed by collection manager Anne Neumann and accompanied by must-read anecdotes and tales.
