Released here in the UK by Egmont under the name the Galactic Atlas, the book hits the States with a new name – Star Wars: Galactic Maps – An Illustrated Atlas of the Star Wars Universe – and over at the Official Site our good buddy James Floyd interviews illustrator Tim McDonagh.
Originally developed and released by Egmont UK as Star Wars: Galactic Atlas in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Africa in November, this lovingly detailed 80-page book brings together the characters, landmarks, creatures, and geography and presents it in an in-universe fashion, as if put together by an artist inspired by travelers’ tales. Plus, this atlas brings together information from across the Star Wars saga, including The Force Awakens, The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and the newest Star Wars film, Rogue One. StarWars.com reached out by e-mail to the real-world illustrator of Galactic Maps, Tim McDonagh, and learned how this treasury came to be.
