5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent summation of the characters of Star Wars, 31 May 2002
By A Customer
I was sceptical when buying this book, but did so anyway out of excitement with the approaching addition to the prequel film trilogy, Attack of the Clones. I am an EU (Expanded Universe) fan, and have read almot all of the books right up to the latest additions to the NJO series. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the EU, and the NJO in partiular, are featured even more heavily in this latest addition of the Essential Guide to Characters. Many plot-holes and contradictions have been tied up too, what with the release of AOTC messing with the established EU history (the Boba Fett/Jango Fett/Jaster Mareel issue is cleared up here, which I was thrilled to see). The Guide goes right up to Star By Star in the NJO series, and even mentions the Vong invasion in other non-NJO character's biographies. Many characters omitted from the first edition are in here (Kyle Katarn - though his bio does not include Jedi Knight II - Dash Rendar, Corran Horn..). The illustrations are for the most part fantastic, the likenesses of on-screen characters being almost perfect. Several EU characters have been well-portrayed as well, and all the illustrations are in full colour. In particular, Jacen, Jaina and Anakin Solo all look very believable for once. There is a short section at the back with a few illustrations for characters that do not have enough history to fill whole pages (though Ric Olie manages to get a page to himself somehow), and then a list of all the featured characters and which books/games/films etc they appear in. A very nice touch. All in all, this book is well worth the money, despite the inevitable new edition that will follow it after Episode III's conclusion. One last point - Palpatine and Darth Sidious have separate entries, but Anakin/Vader has a single one. Evidence for the possibility that these two aren't one and the same perhaps? But I digress - buy this book, especially if you are a fan of the NJO and the EU.
