5.0 out of 5 stars More Droids!, 18 Jul 2006

By	S. Walmsley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The New Essential Guide to Droids covers all the new droids from the new trilogy and New Jedi Order Books. The Computer graphic illustrations give it a newer, finer more futureistic feel and gives a sense of realism to the droids. All the information you could want is there with the book describing all the droid manufacturing companies, giving a brief history of droids and giving you individual descriptions of each one. Those droids from books and the ones never actually seen can now be fully realised such as the JK droid and the Polux Assassin droid. The book only includes a few of the droids from the old essential guide and so for the full vast knowledge of droid manufacture both are must haves for any droid loving star wars fans who may think they know all about droids but still have much to learn.
P.S: I like the word droid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide, 17 Jul 2006

By	T. Veekhoven "Sompeetalay" (Tienen, Belgium) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The 'NEGTD' is one of the best (probably the best) in the series of the Essential Guides.

Made in the same style as 'Vehicles' and 'Weapons', the new guide to Droids has a beautiful lay-out. Every Droid in this book has an image (stylishly created by the computer), a small data chart and a technological chart. The Droids are devided into the five known degrees / classes of Droids. You also get a list of the most important Droid manufacturers and a short (this may have been longer) history on Droids.

A large majority of entries (+/- 85%) in the book are indeed essential. This has been different in past 'Essential Guides'. A large majority of entries hail directly from the movies and from spin-offs such as the Clone Wars Cartoons, Animated Droid Adventures and even Star Tours. The remaining entries are from EU sources (Marvel comics, Clone Wars era, games). Only a few hocus-pocus entries from the post 'RotJ'-era are present.

Many Droids from the prequels have found their way into this book. The entries of the Droids are interesting and add information to the already existing background. If you turn the pages you'll notice that every entry is almost an invitation to read.
