FICTION:
The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia
By Stephen J. Sansweet, Pablo Hidalgo
Everything old is repackaged again. Meticulously researched and written by its leading authorities, this landmark work is the must-have centerpiece of every Star Wars library. Thirty years of information on all things Star Wars — ranging from science and technology to history and geography, culture and biography to ecology and cosmology — has been supplemented with an entire decade's worth of all-new material. Plentifully illustrated with full-color artwork and photos, and now in a new three-volume edition to accommodate its wealth of detailed entries, the Star Wars Encyclopedia encompasses the full measure of George Lucas' creation.
Here's a sampling of what's inside:
- Character portraits of both the renowned (Luke Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Darth Vader) and the obscure (Tnun Bdu, Tycho Celchu, Bib Fortuna)
- The natives and customs of planets as diverse as Tatooine and Hoth, Dagobah and Kashyyyk
- The rituals, secrets, and traditions of Jedi Knights and Sith Lords
- A timeline of major events in Star Wars history, from the Clone Wars and the inception of the Empire to the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker and the invasion of the monstrous Yuuzhan Vong
Nostalgia is what it used to be, just in multi-volume form, and doubling as a doorstop should you choose.
