Alex Moss EditorDo you ever think to yourself; “I know a lot about Star Wars”. I do, judge me all you want but a colleague once challenged me to an online Star Wars quiz and while he scored a pathetic 37% I scored an impressive, most impressive, 89%. So when I say this latest Star Wars Encyclopedia is an essential for Star Wars fans I mean geeks like me. Likewise, for new to the franchise fans this is the kind of book that will get them up to lightspeed in under 12 parsecs.
This extensive tome from DK Books covers everything from characters, locations, ships, vehicles, tech and so much more. It’s the kind of thing you gift to the Star Wars lover on Christmas Day only to find them festering in post-festive food sweat pouring over it three days later.
Complete with images of every entry, you get a detailed explanation of what it is, where it’s from, what species it might be, its allegiances (wavering or otherwise), its age, how it came to be and more. This level of detail is for no less than 2,200 entries in partnership with LucasFilms (so you know it’s accurate and canon), it is an encyclopedia that really feels as complete a document of the Star Wars universe one can actually hold in your hands. The internet is all well and good but what if you want to randomly open a page and find out about B-U4D, a loading droid who works with the Resistance, good luck googling that.
With the Star Wars galaxy ever-expanding you know this edition is going to be the most up to date and relevant. Go onto any dark Star Wars corner of the internet and you’ll find fan debate and all sorts of things, but with books like this the debate is over, it’s all done in writing and beautiful images.
The perfect gift for any Star Wars fan or youngling looking to embark on their first Star Wars adventure.
Star Wars ™ Encyclopedia – The Comprehensive Guide To The Star Wars Galaxy is available from DK Books now.
