Book Reviews of Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary - The Ultimate Guide to Characters and Creatures from the Entire Star Wars Saga
Book Review: Comprehensive look at the Star Wars Movie Universe
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books written on Star Wars. It covers a very high level of detail concerning the two triologies, presented in the order of movie chronology. Episodes I-III are presented in separate sections, while Episodes IV-VI are combined into one larger section.
This book is mostly a rundown of characters. Major characters are offered two pages and/or cutout sections, while more minor characters are given very decent amounts of page space. Besides characters, you learn a great deal about every single weapon and ship used in the six movies, as well as costumes, other equipment, planets visited and more. I never knew such high level of deatil existed on the character backgrounds and weapons, let alone having been studied. It is amazing to know the exact equipment set of each storm trooper, clone trooper, Jedi, as well as R2-D2, vulture droids, you name it, and you will find it.
I have never been a huge fan of the expanded Star Wars universe, so I very much appreciate the decision of the authors to concentrate on the canon movie trilogies. You see some tidibts as part of the elaboration of character backgrounds that contain information from expanded universe (for example, Boba Fett having survived the Sarlacc pit), but this is never over-done, and there appears to be a principle to keep most everything within the canon universe. It is chock-full of information and therefore takes a while to finish, but it is a great read, with fun information and very high-resolution photos. Highly recommended and addictive!
