Well, this a must buy! StarWars.com has today announced plans to release The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens this December. Written by Phil Szostak, it apparently, "takes you from the earliest gathering of artists and production designers at Lucasfilm headquarters in San Francisco to the fever pitch of production at Pinewood Studios to the conclusion of postproduction at Industrial Light & Magic." In order to not reveal any spoilers, the book won't hit stores until December 18th, the same day the movie is released in North America. Featuring interviews with the creative team behind the movie, it promises never before seen, "works of art that include production paintings, concept sketches, storyboards, blueprints, and matte paintings." I want it, and I want it now. For now, enjoy the gorgeous cover art by the amazing Doug Chaing.

My one little nitpick is that I don't like how "clean" and precise his lightsaber looks here. I LOVE how jagged and unstable and homemade it's been depicted so far in the other promos and promo art:

Never bothered with the Marvel ones (there's only so many variations of Iron Man armour you can look at), but this is a day one purchase. Hopefully it hits the UK early just like the film itself.

@SauronsBANE It looks like the lightsaber is a tad unstable and jagged in the that pic to be honest

Okay...This may sound weird but...I wish Kylo looked like that from behind...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@spidey1994 Eh, the one in the cover art looks too clean and smooth, IMO. It has the sparks and stuff flying off it, sure, but I still prefer the more ragged look in the pics I posted.

How much you wanna bet this book will be leaked way before by a publisher/retailer/printer?

@SauronsBANE It's pretty obvious that the cover art was concept art, a keyframe of the scene before they filmed it. The intent of the book was to show you how they got to the final shot of the film, and the cover displays that.

@KelvTwelve You're probably right, though I'm not really disputing that. Just stating that my preference is the final version which we ended up getting. No big deal.

The galaxy stands on the edge of
war. Fearing the threat posed by
fanatics dedicated to restoring
the old Empire, a new resistance
movement has arisen to fight
against the mysterious First Order.

Kylo Ren, leader of the Knights
Of Ren, is determined to carry on
the legacy of Darth Vader and
is scouring the galaxy in search of
artifacts that once belonged to
the fallen Sith Lord.

One of these lost relics holds
a secret that, if found, could
save or doom the galaxy, even
as it tumbles towards the
forgotten planet of Jakku....
