Star
Wars: The Visual Dictionary
by David West Reynolds, Alexander Ivanov (Photographer)
Amazon.com
The Phantom Menace sets a new standard in visuals and props. Episode
I was absolutely radiant with special effects, making use of some 2,000 of
them, dwarfing that of previous Star Wars installments and even the
CGI-happy Titanic, with its now-paltry 500. Even the low-tech
effects--the physical props from Star Wars--have always been unbelievably
detailed, from Luke's scuffed-up speeder to Vader's slightly dinged-up helmet
(don't pretend you didn't notice). The Phantom Menace continues this
tradition proudly, whether it's with Amidala's baroque headgear or the
intricately machined (and deadly) armament on a droideka.
A page-turning droolfest, Episode I: The Visual Dictionary stops the film and zooms in on all this eye-candy. As he did with the first trilogy in Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, author-archaeologist David West Reynolds once again elucidates and itemizes with glee, combining witty, pseudo-scholarly prose with clear movie stills and excellent close-up photos of actual props and characters. Every personality and group of note gets its due in this well-labeled, picture-packed book, from the Jedi High Council to the Podrace crowd to the sea monsters of Naboo. Craving a closer look at Maul's double lightsaber? Wish you could tell a Neimoidian's rank by the hat on its head? Need some ideas for filling out your Podracer toolkit? This is the book for you. --Paul Hughes

Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections

Who knew proton torpedoes were so expensive? Apparently that's why
Luke only had one pair when he set out to take down the Death Star. And that's
not the only bit of trivia you'll bring away from this aptly subtitled Ultimate
Guide to Star Wars Vehicles and Spacecraft. Whether you're looking for the
bathroom on Jabba's sail barge or you just want to see where Boba Fett catches a
few winks on Slave I, this is the book for you. In Star Wars:
Incredible Cross-Sections, author-archaeologist David West Reynolds zooms
out from cataloguing minutiae as he did in Star
Wars: The Visual Dictionary, and instead takes apart the big toys of Star
Wars, from AT-ATs to X-Wings.
Full-color, exploded technical illustrations get you under the hood of every noteworthy ship in the Star Wars trilogy, from a grand tour of a Jawa Sandcrawler to a sprawling, four-page foldout of (what else but?) the Death Star. Detailed labels and realistic, miniature depictions of crew and characters roaming around each ship are so engaging that you may find yourself imagining you're on the Millennium Falcon giving Chewie a hand with the power couplings. --Paul Hughes

Star
Wars : The Essential Guide to Droids (Star Wars)
by Daniel Wallace
They can be anything from nursemaids to surgeons, diplomats to assassins. They walk, roll, and fly--and communicate in languages ranging from whistles and beeps to Standard Basic to the most obscure alien dialect. MixRMastRs make drinks in spaceport cantinas, Basilisks make war wherever they're deployed, and IT-O Interrogators make life nightmarish for prisoners of the Empire.
Droids are an integral and indispensable part of the Star Wars universe. And this comprehensive guide surveys all the myriad models and classes--from the lowliest drones to the most sophisticated humanoid automatons.
| Discover the evolution of the R-series droids, whose members include lumbering technicians and skilled X-wing navigators such as R2-D2 |
| Learn the curious history of the MSE-6 "mouse" droids employed exclusively in the bases and on Imperial starships of the Empire |
| Explore the workings of the malevolent Shadow Droids: machines with living, organic brains |
| Uncover how the Rebel's fearsome FIDO (Foreign Intruder Defense Organism) carries out its duties |
Whatever its design and wherever it may be found in the ever-expanding Star Wars universe, if the subject is droid, its definitive data on development, history, and technology is included in this essential technical guide.
