3.0 out of 5 stars a good book but missing essential characters, Jun 25 2003
By A Customer
This book was very good except that it was missing some good characters. The characters that where missing (or crammed in a tiny appendix) are Tenel Ka, Lowbacca, Zekk, The Dark Women, Rayner Thul, Tionne, Nomi Sunrider, Siri Tachi, Xanatos and Tahari. The Jedi council (besides Master Windu & Yoda ) are barely mentoined, I wish that Adi Gallia, Ki-Adi-Mundi (especially), Plo Koon, Even Piell, Saesee Tiin, Eeth Koth, Depa Billaba and Yaddle would be given at least a page each. Also there are many boring people like Ric Olie, Panaka, the Lars, Nute Gunray, and Watto should get less pages. Their are also people that should get more then one page such is Count Dooku (especcially), Exar Kun, Ulic Qel-Droma and Sedriss. But overall it is a fun read. The Solos, the Skywalkers, Chewwie, Obi-Kenobi are well written. Palpitine, Isard, Daala, Pestage and Tarkin are also well written.Kyle Katarn and Corran Horn are good. It is a pretty good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book to your collection, Jan 30 2004
By "hrothlaf" (England, UK) - See all my reviews
I have both old and new essential guide to characters, and I must say, that this is the better of both of them.
The pictures are in full colour, and a lengthy bio is written about the character. But, some important characters are still left out from the NJO series (since this is up to Star by Star)and others before.
All in all though, a good read and a MUST for Star Wars fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Addition to Any Star Wars Collection, Feb 19 2003
By E. Chapa "echapa" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the second edition of the Essential Guide to Characters. This book has been updated to include characters from Attack of the Clones as well as the New Jedi Order Series. The art is awesome and was great to get a refresher from Star Wars novels I've read in the past. There are spoilers from Attack of the Clones, so if you haven't read the book or seen the movie yet, you may want to hold off on reading this book first ;-). I've been reading the New Jedi Order Series and the character illustrations weren't far from how I pictured each character. If you know a Star Wars fan they'll love this book as a gift :-).
