ODYSSEY OF STAR WARS HC

Poet and scholar Jack Mitchell presents a stirring retelling of the Star Wars saga in the style of classical epics — as a premium gift hardcover. The Odyssey of Star Wars: An Epic Poem presents perhaps the greatest myth of the 20th century as if it had been written nearly 3,000 years ago, accompanied by striking illustrations inspired by the terracotta art of ancient Greece.

Journey to a galaxy far, far away — in lyrical verse and precise meter. As in the sagas of Odysseus and Beowulf, the adventures of legendary heroes are full of epic battles, fearless warriors, iconic spaceships and dangerous creatures.

The story begins with the rebel coup on Scarif from Rogue One to secure the Death Star plans and runs through the climax of Return of the Jedi. In the form of ancient epic, Jack Mitchell gives the Star Wars saga a fresh, literary look.

"I look not to myself, but to the Force, in which all things rise and pass away again."
