To celebrate LEGO Star Wars' 25th anniversary, a new hardcover book called LEGO Star Wars: The Force of Creativity by Graham E. Hancock will be released on July 20, 2024. The book chronicles the complete history of the LEGO Star Wars brand, from its original inception to the development of the latest models.
It will also feature interviews with staff members from The LEGO Group and Lucasfilm to give readers an insight into the history behind LEGO Star Wars. The book will also explore the massive impact that LEGO Star Wars had on popular culture over the years, with the fan community and multimedia projects based on LEGO Star Wars both being highlighted.
I’m absolutely thrilled that my new book, LEGO Star Wars: The Force of Creativity, has been announced 😁 As anyone who knows me will be aware, this was a passion project – if it wasn’t for LEGO Star Wars, I would have had a dark age! #LEGOStarWars #LEGOStarWars25 pic.twitter.com/LnNp8bK1EL

As you can see from the images on the official LEGO website, the gigantic coffee-table book will feature countless illustrations and diagrams across its 312 pages, with everything from development art, marketing materials, images of fully constructed LEGO Star Wars models, building instructions, and art prints all being included. The Force of Creativity will also feature a replication of an extremely rare Toy Fair booklet from 1999, which was originally produced to promote the debut of LEGO Star Wars. Since the booklet is difficult to find anywhere else, fans will certainly be grateful for its inclusion. There will also be a script for an unproduced animated project and artwork for an unreleased Zam Wesell minifigure included within the pages so that we can be offered glimpses of ideas that never came to fruition.
