As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that these new encyclopedias are like manna from heaven for us die-hard Star Wars and Marvel fans. I still remember the thrill of flipping through those thick, glossy pages of my old Star Wars and Marvel encyclopedias, absorbing every bit of information about my favorite characters, galaxies far, far away, and superhero realms.
All the information you could ever want to know about the Marvel and Star Wars universes is just a URL away, but nothing beats the feeling of a hardcover encyclopedia dedicated to those fictional worlds. If you’re looking to update your library, you can grab two new encyclopedias featuring detailed, up-to-date information on both franchises–perfect for those rainy afternoons when you’re looking to read up on your favorite characters.
For long-time Star Wars fans, you can also grab a massive collection of pre-Disney era Star Wars encyclopedias for $71 (normally $150). This three-volume set covers both the original and prequel film trilogies, and while it’s a little dated, it’s still a deluxe collection featuring hardcover design, full-color artwork, and photos. There’s also the Star Wars: Secrets of the Galaxy deluxe box set, which includes tons of details on the original (and now technically non-canon) Lucasfilm-era Expanded Universe, including a timeline of major events in Star Wars history like the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong. You can grab it for $57 (was $80).
