Amazon recently announced the dates for its Prime Big Deal Days sale, and while it’s still a couple weeks away, there are already some great early deals available for Prime members. If you’re a fan of Star Wars in particular, some of the coolest encyclopedias I’ve ever seen are on sale right now at their lowest prices of the year.
You don’t need to be really into Star Wars to understand why these encyclopedias make for a great gift for fans of the movies. After all, who wouldn’t want to see a cross-section of an X-Wing or a massive AT-AT Walker?
All of the encyclopedias currently on sale are either at their lowest prices ever or the lowest price in 2026 to-date. Each of the books I’ve featured here are the hardcover editions that include full-color illustrations, pictures, and additional artwork inside.
Based on the preview images for each book, the encyclopedias appear to be rooted in Disney’s version of Star Wars canon, which excludes anything outside of George Lucas’ Star Wars trilogies and the Disney TV shows and movies that followed. That means you shouldn’t expect to see characters or things featured in Star Wars Legends media here.
As for what book is worth picking up during this sale, that’s entirely up to you. I’m personally drawn to the Complete Vehicles guide as it features cross-sections of iconic ships and land vehicles. As someone who loves building LEGO Star Wars sets, there’s just something that appeals to me about knowing how these machines are actually designed to function.
More Early Book Deals at Amazon
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale doesn’t take place until October 6-7, but the early deals on books have been particularly good so far. Most of the Lord of the Rings Illustrated editions started getting major price cuts last week and a number of cool coffee table books are getting the same treatment this week. You can keep up with IGN’s latest coverage of Amazon’s exclusive sales event at our Prime Big Deal Days page or take a look more specifically at the latest book deals we’ve found below.
