About this title

Synopsis

An illustrated guide to 100 locations of the "Star Wars" universe, from Tatooine to Kashyyyk (the Wookiee homeworld), Coruscant (the seat of the Empire) and the moon of Endor (home of the Ewoks). The book describes the events and races which lend each world its individual history and culture.

Review

If you've ever wondered where a Wookie comes from, or had trouble remembering where that hidden Rebel base is located, then look no further. The fourth in the Essential Guides series offers a comprehensive and accessible guide to the exciting and exotic locations of the ever-expanding Star Wars universe.

As well as some of the more familiar planets such as Tatooine, Hoth and Coscurant (The Imperial homeworld), this large-format, illustrated volume gives the low-down on some of the further-flung corners of the galaxy, including planets and moons featured in the comic and paperback spin-offs. Each planet featured has a detailed account of the local terrain, the indigenous natives and their significance and relevance to Star Wars lore in general.

Obi-Wan may have taught you well, young one, but not as well as Daniel Wallace, the author of this edition, whose obsessive enthusiasm for the most famous sci-fi franchise in the universe led to Lucasfilm commissioning him to produce a series of these Essential Guides. Casual Star Wars fans may find some of the entries too obscure to be of interest, but for the army of fanatical aficionados, this is a valuable and informative addition to the growing body of Star Wars literature. --Ed Maidment
