The definitive, lavishly illustrated reference guide to the universe
of the first six films!
This comprehensive boxed set of three hefty volumes covers every aspect
of Star Wars, from the original six movies to The Clone Wars, radio
dramas, comics, novels, cartoons, short stories, and video games. With a
treasure trove of information on more than thirty years of Star
Wars--and a millennia in the galaxy far, far away--this is the
must-have centerpiece for every Star Wars library. Abundantly
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's
creation.
Here's just 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
Scrupulously researched and written by leading authorities Stephen J.
Sansweet, Pablo Hidalgo, Bob Vitas, and Daniel Wallace, this landmark
work is the must-have centerpiece of every Star Wars library.
