(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best children film books

I think it actually comes from this book. But the Visual Dictionary is awesome too.

EDIT: These books are all awesome. I especially like the ones that show cross-sections of all the vehicles and ships.

This one specifically

Don't understand why there is no digital version, I'd love it on my iPad

I remember back in 2004 when the [Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Trilogy ] (https://www.amazon.com/Inside-Worlds-Star-Wars-Trilogy/dp/0756603072/ref=pd_sim_14_19?ie=UTF8&dpID=51HdbUkbIcL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR117%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=420B63SQCXC55252JKY4) book released, they kind of "spoiled it." Or at least 11 year old me felt that way back then.

In the [Emperor's Throne Room] (http://i.imgur.com/nZLjWsh.jpg) page, they not only refer to it as being Emperor Palpatine's command center, but on the same page they also state that "Bolts of Sith lightning shoots from Darth Sidious' crooked fingers. " Now obviously like many fans, I already knew they were the same people, but this was before Episode 3 had come out. I was mad that some kid some how might have had this spoiled for them and took away the ability for those fans to be surprised.

The book has 3 pages listing over 30 villains and their brief history. Some, like Braniac or Zod have pages to themselves. It also has entire pages dedicated to Superboy, Metropolis, or even Smallville. It also lists all of Kal's roles in all the main story arc's and sums up most if you dont want to buy them. It has everything ive ever known about Superman in it, and more.

There are more preview pages (including Kylo and Finn) on French Amazon.

In this preview there is some TLJ stuff https://www.amazon.fr/Ultimate-Star-Wars-New-Definitive/dp/0241357667

As before, Amazon. This time France. There's Rebels pages floating around too.

You can get Star Wars model books where you get to build a replica of something from Star Wars, and have a book with lots of information about what you built as well. Here’s an example of one on Amazon (not my product or anything, just an example of what I mean). There’s lots of different ones available if your friend has any favourite characters or ships or anything.

Jason Surrell's books - Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion Both books have an incredible amount of detailed history behind the rides (in all parks) and subsequent movies, etc.

If you're more into world-building than story, I think you'd really enjoy some of the reference books. I'm especially thinking of the visual dictionaries which expand on the characters, planets, and tech from the movies. There's also the Galactic Maps and Complete Locations books too, which really are world building books.

Rogue One Visual Dictionary

The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary

Star Wars Galactic Maps

Do you have any links about that that I can check out? I hadn't heard that about Bruce Lee. It kind of goes against the norm for this kind of thing and doesn't seem entirely correct. I'm no lawyer though, so I could be completely wrong. However, I just found this kid's book about Bruce Lee that looks like it's part of a series of biographies, and something tells me they didn't get any official permission from his estate. And here's another that flat out says it's an unauthorized biography. Granted, books aren't movies, but the laws that apply to one should apply to the other I think.

Generally speaking, and maybe Bruce Lee is an exception, you can tell stories about people as long as you do proper research, use facts, and avoid defamation. A studio other than Fox should be able to make a Stan Lee movie (or an author could write an unauthorized biography) without requiring any permission from the man himself.

It’s Scanimation! There’s some great books of it out there but as it’s printed onto thick board, the books usually end up being in the toddler hard back boardbook section, sadly, and they’re geared towards kids.

Here’s a Star Wars one the kids at my library love.

I think that for a #MetroidHistoria to be enduring and lasting it should mainly focus on side stuff either unexplained or barely explained within the metroid games. For example, what exactly is the history of races like the Ylla and how did Ridley and Kraid join the space pirates. The historia can also focus on how some technology like the arm canon and morph ball work and go into more detail of data logs that you scan in the prime games such as the history of the area your exploring, downfall of races such as the Reptilcus and past conflicts such as the Alimbic against Gorea. The historia probably should also include bios of iconic enemies and some lesser known enemies found in the metroid games to explain them in more detail than what was found in the games.

I personally believe that #MetroidHistoria should mention Samus' past but not to make that the main focus as that is the role of the games and possibe future stories made for her. The #MetroidHistoria main purpose should be to supplement the metroid universe with information and detail that would otherwise not be found in the games or other media.

I based this opinion on star wars books that i own that are related to #MetroidHistoria such as Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide, Incredible Cross-Sections of Star Wars: The Ultimate Guide to Star Wars Vehicles and Spacecraft, & Inside the Worlds of Star Wars Trilogy: The Ultimate Guide to the Incredible Locations of Episodes IV, V, and VI
