About this listen
Celebrate the greatest saga ever told: All of us who are deeply influenced by the epic saga of Star Wars have our favorite moments. Each time the screen goes black and you see those words - "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" - the music blasts through you, and you're a kid again. Ken Napzok, expert appreciator of Star Wars, counts down each one of those special moments that makes this series not just the best movies of all time, but the greatest saga ever told.
Become a scholar of Star Wars: What began as one movie about good people, evil oppressors, and the space wizards that stood between them has exploded into a franchise. The moments that continue to inspire are on screen and in the pages of novels. They are found in the panels of comic books and among animated sequences on television. And they all continue to grow in stature, importance, and myth through discussions, debates, and daydreams.
Why We Love Star Wars: The Great Moments That Built a Galaxy Far, Far Away is the ultimate gift for the film buff who has binged all 1001 Movies to See Before You Die and the super-fan who covets Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia and Star Wars: Complete Locations.

For the love of the force
A wonderfully unabashed love letter to the Galaxy Far, Far Away! This book is a deeply insightful, personal, and positive look at the state of the franchise prior to TROS and Disney+. The moments highlighted are fun and dispersed across multiple mediums and film eras. Ken understands Star Wars and loves it like a child -- respectfully reminding us the purpose behind why we fell in love in the first place.

More than just a list
Ultimately, this book is "just one man's list" of their favourite moments in the Star Wars cannon; but it felt like so much more. It felt like having a heartfelt conversation about the best Star Wars moments with that friend who has consumed everything Star Wars has to offer. Every book, every game, every show. Everything.
It's an experience that probably every nerd has had, but few of us have had the luxury of having this conversation as eloquently as the author is able to in this book. Ken is obviously passionate about Star Wars and you can feel it in his voice. He jokes, he reminiscences, and at times he's serious. The experiences are his, but ultimately, like Star Wars, many of these sentiments are universal, which is what makes this book such an amazing listen.

Just a boring ass list...
I was looking forward to what I thought was going to be a shared cultural experience of all the ways Star Wars as brought people together in spite of our diverse experiences and lives. Instead it’s just this random dood’s list of his favourite moments from the movies, books, and comics. Absolute garbage.
