From the publisher

Star Wars meets Weird But True! in this jam-packed official collection of amazing facts from a galaxy far, far away. Inside this book, you’ll uncover the surprising secrets and mind-blowing facts behind one of the most beloved franchises ever. Chew-bacca on these funny facts: The slimy sound of Jabba the Hutt’s movements was made mainly with recordings of hands being run through a bowl of mac and cheese! The Corellian hounds in Solo: A Star Wars Story were played by dogs wearing costumes! A full-scale Millennium Falcon built for Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back weighed more than a whale shark! Bursting with photos and facts from across the Star Wars galaxy–including trivia from all three film trilogies, The Mandalorian, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge(R), and beyond–this book will delight fans of all ages. Readers will glimpse the real-world inspiration behind the planet Tatooine, find out how many people it actually takes to play the Mandalorian, Din Djarin, and even discover hidden wonders to see and explore in the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge(R) theme park locations. And much, much more. May the facts be with you! This book is perfect for anyone who loves Star Wars, National Geographic, Disney, Weird But True!, and all things wacky, weird, and wonderful!
