Star Wars, a staple in pop culture and sci-fi entertainment. Geared towards the older fans of the franchise, many will remember the beginning of the wild ride known as the first trilogy. To anyone familiar with Star Wars, the covers immediately give you a glimpse into the biggest events in each book they’re about to dive into.

However to anyone who is unfamiliar, the covers set the stage for what’s about to unfold and only after reading the books will they realize how many nods go to the story. To connect with the original fans, many relations were tied back into the sci-fi world of the 1970s. With color and text nods to “2001 a space odyssey” and “Alien,” these book covers offer a direct link to the past for the older fans looking for some nostalgia.
