This book is a visual guide to all the six Star Wars film, in chronological order. This book doesn't cover the basic stuff like characters (in depth anyway), weapons, etc which are already covered in Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary. Instead, this book goes into the galaxy conflicts and background stories of things you see on screen, for example, Jabba's palace, Luke's training with Yoda, etc.
It's filled with lots of imagery, comic frames, film stills a...more
I am the FURTHEST person from the title "Star Wars fan," but this visual encyclopedia, that Dayson picked up from the library, was THOROUGHLY enjoyable! (I can't believe I'm writing this!) It tells the whole SW story from a historical perspective (using movies, novels, cartoons, comic books, etc.), starting well before the movies and ending well after the movies. Man, Mr. Lucas created quite a universe! For a short moment, my inner Jedi came out! :)

Quite detailed book on the Star Wars universe. This was the older version of the book (which I bought several years ago and finally got around to reading with my son just recently), so it doesn't have the most up-to-date information as I would like. Not sure if it's worth purchasing the newer edition though. Recommended for any Star Wars fan.
Excellent encyclopedia for the stories. Great companion book
A optical smorgasbord.
Perfect for your everyday Star Wars fan.

This is so good that I think I need to invest in the anniversary ed. with 20 extra pages.
Stay tuned to an extra special Twitter / blog tour of Star Wars by DK Canada !!

This book is what it is! I would give it 5 stars, but why would I? It's just a survey book about Star Wars, which indeed is probably as good as it can be.
This book is the WHOLE SHABAMNG of the Visual Dictionaries, what every Star Wars fan needs for their collection to be complete!
Excellent! If you like Star Wars check it out especially if you've got a kid to read it with.
