Book Description:
Discover who’s who and what’s what in the Star Wars
universe with this beautifully illustrated guide–now
in full colour for the first time.
When it comes to extraterrestrial life-forms, there’s
more to science fiction’s most famous galaxy than just
Jawas, Wookiees, Ewoks, and Hutts. From the skylanes of
Coruscant to the worlds of the Outer Rim, an untold
number of species populate those planets far, far away.
And if you confuse Gungans with Gamorreans, or don’t
know a bantha from a tauntaun, you definitely need the
in-depth data that only this revised, expanded, and
updated guide can deliver.
This comprehensive overview includes beings from all six
of the classic movies–plus the novels, cartoon series,
comics, and video games. It’s an even bigger cross
section of species than what you’ll find in the Mos
Eisley cantina. And each entry, from acklay to Zabrak,
from amphibians to vacuum-breathers, features everything
you need to know, including:
- complete physical description and
official designation, so you can tell your sentients
from your non-sentients, and your humanoids from
your insectoids
- homeworld: from dry and dusty
Tatooine, stormy and waterlogged Kamino, to arctic
Hoth, and countless other strange and varied worlds
- phonetic pronunciation: Askajian, H’nemthe,
Iktotchi, Ssi-ruu, and Xexto/Quermian aren’t as
easy to say as they are to, er, spell
- notable appearance: a listing of
one of the more significant appearances of each
species in the teeming Star Wars storyline
Plus, this brand-new edition includes
a glossary of crucial descriptive terms and a completely
original, full colour illustration for each of more than
one hundred individual species. It’s a big galaxy, and
someone has to organize it. Count on Star Wars: The
New Essential Guide to Alien Species and don’t
leave your homeworld without it.
