For "Star Wars" fans of all ages, Jun 29 2011
By James Pernikoff - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Star Wars Character Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This delightful little book features just about all of the recognizable characters from all six "Star Wars" movies, including droids, creatures, and certain groups (like the Gamorrean Guards, Stormtroopers and X-Wing Pilots, for example). Even characters who I recognized but didn't even know the name of are featured.Of course a few appear more than once, where their identity changed (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, etc.). About the only omission are the individual Podracers, who (aside from the dastardly Sebulba) are all featured on one page. And some entries are on pages with a black, rather than white, background (and not necessarily signifying evil vs. good), which makes them a bit harder to read.
No matter; this is an indispensable reference to "Star Wars" fans, young and old. But it only applies to the six movies of the saga; characters from "Clone Wars" are featured in their own book, and characters from the "extended Universe" are not here, either. But if you want to know more about General Grievous, Sy Snootles or Zam Wesell, they're all in here!

Star Wars, A to Z, Jun 21 2011
By Tim Lasiuta "Comic Fan 42" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Wars Character Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
My kids love Star Wars. They play Star Wars. Frequently they role play one or another, and now, now, they can be 'authentic'.Yep, authentic is a word that only describes a 'real' Star Wars character that is true to the film or books. In this case, this is 200 pages of detailed research complete with pictures, and basic character data such as homeworld, affiliation, species, height, appearance and references. A brief character bio accompanies each page. For some of the entries, one paragraph is more than enough, while others it is too little.
I appreciate the format, size, and intent of the book.
Back to my kids, for anyone wishing to learn more about who inhabits the Star Wars world, or wants to role play with accuracy, this is the real deal.

Great book, but heads-up to parents of young children, Jan 27 2012
By L. Hartness "LHartness" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Wars Character Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
What a great encyclopedia of all the main characters in the Star Wars universe! My son bought the paperback version of this recently. Parents may want to check out the entries for the characters "Lyn Me" and "Oola". You may recall that they're dancers from Jabba's palace, most notably (although briefly) seen in "Return of the Jedi". They're fairly scantily clad, and Oola's picture leaves little to the imagination in her chest area. "Greeata", another dancer, has a similar outfit, but her alien costume is so all-encompassing that she looks more like a muppet than an exotic dancer.You may have no problem with the depictions of "Lyn Me" and "Oola", but I just thought that parents of young children (young boys in particular) might want to know.
Otherwise, this is a great book!
Listmania!
