"From science and technology to history and geography; from culture and biography to ecology and cosmology; from "abo" and "Abrax" to "Zirtran's Anchor" and "zwil," this all encompassing, fully illustrated, alphabetical reference covers all the elements that have developed and expanded the Star Wars universe, creating a rich and diverse history that spans millennia. Its scope ranges from the renowned and infamous ("Luke Skywalker," "Darth Vader") to the obscure and enigmatic ("Tnun Bdu"); from the history of the Sith Wars to the Galactic Civil War that pitted the Rebel Alliance against the Empire. It introduces us to the natives and customs of planets as diverse as Tatooine and Dagobah, and even to the secrets and beliefs of the Jedi Knights."

"As a bonus for intensive researcher, this massive reference includes the complete timeline of major events in Star Wars history."

Every key element that exists in the world of Star Wars is supplied here - in clearly defined entries that have been researched and written by one of the leading authorities on the Star Wars universe."
