I got sick on the way out of The Last Jedi. Odds are I'd cry at the end when Palps wins.
Oh, how's this 3 dollar pick up for Memberberries?

Always wanted it as a kid but my Mom wouldn't buy it. I figured I'll enjoy the stroll down memory lane and my son will too.
I have that book and others in the series. I also have the books for Droids, Vehicles, Planets & Moons, and Weapons.
They give a very high level view of the OT characters and those of the EU, and all the other books follow suit. They are basically "Wookiepedia" before the internet became what it is today, and they were released before the prequels and before the Special Edition.
The books themselves are fine. Nothing you wouldn't find on Wookiepedia, BUT, I am very nostalgic for them because they represent that period where all we had were the Original Trilogy and the Expanded Universe, and it was a great time to be fan. Before the Special Edition reared its ugly head, before the Prequels tainted it, and before the Disney buyout, we had this simple and fun period where we got to enjoy the movies as the classics that they are, and get extra material like this to keep us happy.
It was a simpler time, and it was a better time.
