The Jedi Path: Vault Edition

The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force [Vault Edition] "Vault edition" version of The Jedi Path book by Daniel Wallace comes in a mechanical vault box that is lit, plays sound effects, and opens with the touch of a button. (The opening mechanism is completely mechanical; the batteries are only for the light and sound effects.) The book itself was "written" by various Jedi masters throughout the millennia and was recovered "near the ruins of Byss" by scavengers. It's been passed down to various Jedi including Count Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, and at some point was in the hands of Darth Sidious himself. The most recent owner was Luke Skywalker, and he and all the previous owners have written annotations throughout the book cataloging their thoughts on various Jedi teachings. Many items have been tucked into the pages of the book, such as Qui-Gon's padawan braid and a drink-stained napkin from Dex's Diner on which Obi-Wan planned out his second lightsaber after losing his training saber to Darth Maul. This is the last surviving copy of The Jedi Path, stolen from the wreckage of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. (Or so the story goes...) I'm in love with this thing, truly.
