I really like this book. My review will have some spoilers, but aftera it is a visual guide to a movie so if you have not seen the movie and don't want aspects spoiled the you should not be looking at this book... Yet.THE GOODThis book helped me understand what the Resistance was vs the Republic situation and how the New Order fits in.-The page on the Political bodies gave me the one paragraph answer to questions I had on how everything worked 30ish years after ROTJ.-great map that shows where the new planets are and Republic and New order space-great background on how and why NewOrder Troopers are trained and purposes vs the Old Empire-confirmed for me that Coruscant was not destroyed but the New Republic rotates their capital and it was on Hosnian Prime. (Something not covered at all in any dialog in movie beyond using the weapon on the Republic Capital)-good coverage of Resistance staff and enhances that they really have little resources and have identified the New Order as a threat and are fighting a Cold War with Gorilla action against them.THE BAD-Supreme Leader Snoke is mentioned but zero pictures. We get spoilers like the Star Killer Base. I know heirs clouded in mystery but they should have included a photo of him from the movie and have a paragraph or bullet points about what we know (they talk about him in the book, but why no photo of a charcter more important than all the background characters)- The map to Skywalker is not show or explained. This "map" plot device bugged me a bit, because Star Wars planets have coordinates. So really you just need to find out what planet Luke is on.
