Product Description
Product Description
Its vast history and environs have been explored, studied, and chronicled extensively for more than twenty years. Now, this landmark volume--a definitive reference devoted exclusively to the Star Wars milieu--draws together data from films, radio dramas, novels, short stories, computer games, and more, running the full gamut of this extraordinary galaxy.
From science and technology to history and geography; from culture and biography to ecology and cosmology; from "abo" and "Abrax" to "zwil" and "Zirtran's Anchor," this all-encompassing, fully illustrated, alphabetical reference covers all the elements which have developed and expanded the Star Wars universe, creating a rich and diverse history that spans millennia. Its scope ranges from the renowned and infamous ("Luke Skywalker," "Darth Vader") to the obscure and enigmatic ("Tnun Bdu"); from the history of the Sith Wars to the Galactic Civil War that pit the Rebel Alliance against the Empire. It introduces us to the natives and customs of planets as diverse as Tatooine and Dagobah, and even to the secrets and beliefs of the Jedi Knights.
As a bonus for the intensive researcher, this massive reference includes the complete timeline of major events in Star Wars history.
Every key element that exists in the world of Star Wars is supplied here--in clearly defined entries that have been researched and written by one of the leading authorities on the Star Wars universe.

Star Wars Bible,
By
This review is from: "Star Wars" Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This is simply a MUST HAVE for any Star Wars enthusiast like me. It gives great detail of all characters, some, I have, and am ashamed to admit, never heard of. Well illustrated and gave me plenty of scope for my next costume in my capacity as a costumed member of a Star Wars charity group. Well recommended to anyone who is a fan.

Star wars Encyclopedia,
This review is from: "Star Wars" Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
The title is exactly what it says on the book, but you have to remember that the book was published in 1998 so expect that dated look. I have not read it page to page but anything I would want to know seems to be in the book and much more, it indexes literally everything that had anything to do with the story from bugs to battle ships, good guys bad guys, races and non-races, who's who and even who knew who. To sum it up, all i can say is it must have everything in it even some pictures which makes you think "yeah I remember that bit"
