Star Wars Dawn of Rebellion The Visual Guide
Take a deep dive into a turbulent era of the Star Wars galaxy and chart the rise of the Rebellion from the prequel trilogy through Obi-Wan, Andor, and Rogue A Star Wars Story to the original trilogy.
For many years, the state of the galaxy between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope was a mystery to Star Wars fans. With the release of Star Rebels and Rogue One, and more recently, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor, an exciting new era has begun to emerge – the Dawn of Rebellion.
Before Luke Skywalker ever picked up a lightsaber, the rebels were scattered and desperate bands of idealists, fighting their own battles against the might of the Empire. Victories were few, losses high, and danger ever-present. This Visual Guide charts this darkest of times, revealing all of the key characters, locations, vehicles, and weapons from the hit Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor, with supporting material from the Skywalker saga. Includes an exclusive new cross-section artwork of the Fondor Hauler.

really intresting extra information for any fan.

This is a DK sourcebook dealing with all events happening between Episode III and Episode IV. It's not especially about 'Andor' or about 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' ... it's about 'everything' ('The Bad Batch' and 'Rebels' to 'Andor' and 'Rogue One'). It's more of a periodic sourcebook and if the one about 'The Mandalorian' would ever gets published, I guess it would be similar.
The guide features new technical names for weapons, vehicles and ships, but not that many unnamed characters are named (some first names and names for unnamed Partisans though). Although this is an interesting book, certain aspects from the new series aren't featured. Let's hope those aspects aren't meant to be unnamed forever (characters from Daiyu and Niamos for example).

The latest visual guide showcasing a variety of new and updated info from the most popular era of the Star Wars franchise….
Star Wars Dawn of Rebellion The Visual Guide by Emily Shkoukani and Pablo Hidalgo collects data set between Episode III and a New Hope.
Unlike other visual guides and encyclopedias which focus on information from a specific property (most often a movie), this makes use of a ton of sources material including the movies, tv shows (both live action and animated), comics (including some manga), and video games (specifically Jedi Fallen Order).
While there is limited duplication (more of an update) with data from the Rogue One and Solo books, this is the first visual guide to publish data on Andor, Obi-won, the Bad Batch, and Jedi Fallen Order.
There are a ton of good photos for would be cosplayers, and new universe material for nerds like me that like to amass such data.
Like with other guides, material is collected by particular subject (including a nice breakdown of all the known brothers and sisters of the Inquisitorius, minus one notable exception), and mini profiles on various background characters is naturally useful for those into that kind of thing.
Definitely worth checking out…

A look at the various Star Wars projects based in the period from the end of the Clone Wars to the Battle of Yavin, this colorful book features photos and information on characters, settings, vehicles, costumes, weapons, etc., from the likes of The Bad Batch, Rebels, Andor, and more. Good so far as it goes, but I hope we'll eventually see a book focusing solely on Andor.

For the few of us (perhaps) who cannot stream shows, this is among the few ways to learn about the various SW shows and cartoons recently released (Andor, Bad Batch, Ahsoka, etc.). Just enough summary without spoilers (I suppose so; don't know for sure), in typical DK fashion, you get the general idea.

Some errors but great overall fanastic layout for ease of reading also looking at all sides of The Galactic Civil War.
