The Star Wars Trilogy (R2-D2 Special Edition) released by Barnes & Noble in 2015 is a visually striking collector’s set containing the original three Star Wars novelizations by George Lucas (though actually ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster and James Kahn). Housed in an R2-D2-shaped metal case, this set includes:
- Star Wars: A New Hope (1976, based on Episode IV)
- The Empire Strikes Back (1980f, based on Episode V)
- Return of the Jedi (1983, based on Episode VI)
Each hardcover features exclusive cover art styled after vintage movie posters, with gold foil accents and a ribbon bookmark. The R2-D2 case—with a 3D domed head and sound chip that plays the droid’s iconic beeps—makes this a must-have for Star Wars memorabilia enthusiasts
