Product Description

Product Description
In a universe far, far away, the definitive guide to Star Wars was created We’ve storm-trooped our way around Lucasfilm to get the inside and the dark side of all six Star Wars films including incredible behind-the-scenes stories. Meet and greet every character, droid, creature and alien from Obi-Wan, to Yoda, from the Arena Beasts to Jabba-The-Hutt (and his entourage). Explore every starship and get up close to a multitude of weapons in this amazing guide. Includes every planet from Coruscant to Mustafar, plus a close look at Clone troopers equipment and battle tanks. Over 1,000 amazing shots plus never-seen-before material takes you right inside the movies, see the original R2D2, get up close to a Sarlacc from Return of the Jedi, (look into the stomach – it takes 1,000 years for the digestive tract to work – yuk!) and see things from classic Star Wars and Revenge of the Sith as you never have before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not So Complete., 9 Feb 2008
By BryBo "brysie" (Hemel Hempstead) - See all my reviews
With the Classic DK line up of previous books and high standard from them, you would expect the Complete Star Wars Visual Dictionary to be fully laden with information from all the previous books. Alas, this is not the case but it does include the Visual Dictionaries from Episodes 1 to 3 and a shorter version for Episodes 4 to 6 (original Trilogy). Having said that, it does have some extra information on R2D2 and the Sarlacc but misses out on the Y-wings, A and B-Wings as well as the Empire craft but since these are on earlier books it does not matter as much.
It is still great fun to read and to look at and a Star Wars fan will love it and it will get you in the mood to see the films again. I also loved the Cutaway of a Lighsaber and comparing the Lightsabers of Episode 3 and 4 (Obi Wan's and Anakin's with Luke's are the same and should be). I think that the same detail on the Trilogy would have made this more enjoyable but I am a purist in this matter. Even though the latter part has lost some of the information and the earlier is the same, you do get some extra snippets of information that were cut from the film at a later point (Luke watching the battle above his skies of the Blockade Runner being captured by the Imperial Destroyer). The Clone Troops and Stormtroopers info are very good, as well as the Characters but again you will not find out too much about Han Solo, Chewy or the Later life of Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi. In this book, you get to see the downfall of the Galactic Republic (it was already falling in Episode 1) to it's downfall and the rise of the Rebel Allience and final fall of the Empire.
If you can't get hold of the originals (or they are too expensive to buy sperately) then buy a copy today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for a Star Wars fan, 9 Feb 2007
By Ms. P. Harris "Pauline Hair" (Macclesfield, Cheshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an essential item for any young (or older)fan of Star Wars. The images are superb quality and the amount of information is exhaustive. A really beautiful addition to any bookshelf and worth every penny spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent overview of Star Wars in a gloriously coloured book, 9 Nov 2008
I bought this book on a whim and enjoyed it so much. It's got a lot packed into it, and it's a fairly slim book! I actually bought it same time as The Ultimate Visual Guide to Star Wars by Ryder Windham (the one with Darth Vader on the cover), and to be honest, it's a much better book; because it serves not just as a visual dictionary, but as a visual guide to boot. Well worth buying for any Star Wars lover out there!
