The only book of its kind: a definitive, single-volume reference guide to the Star Wars universe!

This landmark volume draws together a wealth of data from the classic films, as well as the spinoff radio dramas, novels, short stories, computer games, and every other part of the STAR WARS epic. From science, technology, history, and geography to culture, biography, ecology, and cosmology; and from the renowned and infamous ("Luke Skywalker" "Darth Vader") to the obscure and enigmatic ("Tnun Bdu"), this one-of-a-kind reference encompasses every element of Star Wars' rich, diverse history.

Here are the details of the Sith Wars and the Galactic Civil War that pit the Rebel Alliance against the Empire; the natives and customs of planets as diverse as desert-covered Tatooine and swamp-filled Dagobah; the secrets and beliefs of the Jedi Knights; and, as a bonus, the complete timeline of major events in Star Wars history. It's all clearly defined and engagingly explained in alphabetical entries by one of the leading authorities on the world of Star Wars.
