Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Star Wars Kirigami
Celebrated paper artist and designer Marc Hagan-Guirey has applied his genius to the Star Wars galaxy in this book of 15 unique kirigami (cut-and-fold) ships featured in the saga's films. Ranging in difficulty from beginner to expert, each beautifully detailed model features step-by-step instructions and a template printed on cardstock—all that's needed are a utility knife, a cutting mat, and a ruler. Clear tips and guidance through the tricky stages help readers craft their own X-wing, Imperial Star Destroyer, Millennium Falcon, and a dozen more ships and vehicles, each accompanied by colorful and inspiring photographs of the final model on display (or ready for a jump to Hyperspace).

This book is gorgeous. I love the design options but honestly I haven't made any yet because I don't want to take the pages out of the book. It's just so pretty.

I received this book from goodreads giveaway. Great illustrations. I look forward to making the vehicles; however, I will be buying the appropriate paper as I do not wish to blemish this copy.

Brilliant... except I got this from the library. I hope to purchase this (or receive as a gift!). The ships and other things in this book are amazing, and I've seen some of the work people have done to create the cuttings. I just haven't done it yet.
Why? Not sure if I want to purchase this book to only be able to have one copy of a project. What if I screw up? (when... not if). That's it. I wish there was a way to order more prints or have some practice sheets perhaps.
As a newb, I'm a little too daunted to cut into the papers.
Still, the author seems interesting (from his foreword) and talented, and lucky to have been a part of this Star Wars universe.
Edit:
I got this as a gift and cut out my first design. Started with one I wasn't particularly interested in *clone tank* and it came out nice. Only a few mistakes (half-cutting is a tough technique to learn)
I took a picture of the design so I could use it again. The designs are bigger than my scanner so I couldn't do that.
It is fun... but I wish there was a way to learn HOW to make your own. Yes, you can study the designs to figure out HOW it works, but it's tough. I guess I've only made a few so... spend more time?
