This is definitely one of the books that ranks up high if you're a hard core Star Wars fan. I must say that I didn't finish reading the book because the material was a bit too dense for me. My mind wandered back to Earth. This is more of a visual companion than an art book. It covers the political galaxy, the planets and galactic history.
The first part is on Star Wars space politics. The sort of topic, during conversation, will insta...more
This book was okay. The information about the relevant planets in the galaxy as well as the combined history was really interesting. The maps are useful if you are a mega-star wars fan since it helps place events in perspective. I also thought the character artwork was spectacular (I wish the comics had this artist).

A fun source book for any Star Wars geek. The maps are amazing. The authors really took the time to pull together all current source material and attempt to put it together in a cohesive volume. If you ever wondered just what the "Kessel Run" looked like or the route the Death Star took as it was heading out to destroy Alderann. How about the exact route and planets the Yuzan Vong used as they infiltrated the galexy. Ahhh, just fun stuff for the nerd in your life. Enjoy!
Endlich gibt es eine umfassende Kartensammlung aus den wichtigsten Epochen der Star Wars Geschichte, von der Prä-Republikanischen Zeit, bis zur neuen Sith-Imperialen Herrschaft unter Darth Krayt 130 Jahre nach der Schlacht von Yavin.
Neben vielen Beschreibungen und Details wichtiger Sektoren wird das Buch durch Geschichten zu den Regionen vom Inneren Kern bis zum Outer Rim ergänzt.

Wow. "Comprehensive" doesn't even begin to describe this. Fun in an 'alternate universe textbook' kind of way.
In other words, some of it tends to be a little dry - bordering on boring. But it is somehow interesting nonetheless.

Never mind the future-tech aspect...this is a gorgeous coffee table book for geeks, turning that far far away galaxy of the Star Wars universe into a fascinating, mysterious, mystical place. Extremely sumptuous.
The ultimate nerd-book of all time. I was suprised by the detail that the authors put into describing the Star Wars universe!
