Star Wars Character Encyclopedia Updated And Expanded Edition

Product Information

StarWars.com: This encyclopedia is designed to be accessible to readers of all ages, yet contain enough depth to satisfy serious fans. As you developed it, how did you work to achieve both goals? Also, how was the balance in revealing story information versus not revealing certain plot points of the saga? Though Cornelius Evazan is described as having survived his encounter with Obi-Wan Kenobi at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, the Databank entries of both Evazan [5] and Ponda Baba [6] claim that he died. However, the short story " The Secrets of Long Snoot" from the 2017 anthology From a Certain Point of View also stated that Evazan indeed survived. [7] Pablo Hidalgo: In this case, I wrote the new The Force Awakens entries. Simon is the credited author of the original entries. I also suggested edits made to the original entries to better reflect what we know about the storytelling now and where it’s going. The main reason DK tapped me to do the new entries is because I had just finished writing The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary at the time, so they knew I was grounded in the material. The long lead times in publishing meant that this book needed to be completed before the movie came out, so I had access to the necessary information.

Media [ ] Editions [ ] Updated and expanded with amazing new material including characters from Star Wars™: The Force Awakens !

He lives in San Francisco. Pablo Hidalgo: As a huge Ratts Tyerell fan, I do wish the podracers were broken out to individual entries. But, there are 18 of ‘em and it’s hard to justify getting all of them in there. Pablo Hidalgo: Again, this is where the experience DK had with the Visual Dictionary came in handy. They already had an awareness of what imagery existed for what characters, as well as what didn’t exist. So, for example, no print-ready imagery of Snoke existed at the time, so we couldn’t include him (though we would have liked to). In cases where there was an opportunity to update a character with a new image from The Force Awakens, we took it. It was great to see Nien Nunb properly represented (as opposed to inheriting a recolored Ten Numb photo). Because of when the book went to print, months ago, we still couldn’t use any new imagery of Luke Skywalker, though. Next update, then. Pablo Hidalgo: Generally if it was noteworthy to the character’s history. For a character like Barriss Offee, you had to include material from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as it was quite literally the most important thing to happen in her life.

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. Dan Zehr is a Star Wars expert and is the host and brand director of the podcast Coffee With Kenobi.

StarWars.com: What was the overall process of creating a layout? Do the images come first, or does the text? Adi Gallia's homeworld is listed to be Coruscant like in Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know. [2] However, Ultimate Star Wars listed her homeworld to be Tholoth.

StarWars.com: I bet if you did have a guide that contained all the podracer pilots, Sebulba would love to get his hands on it!Pablo Hidalgo: This book shouldn’t become a substitute for the stories referenced inside. We knew it skews to a younger audience, so it’s less about being an exhaustive account of a character’s history and more an accessible entry point for kids who want to know more. StarWars.com: A key component of DK guidebooks is the prominent use of images. What was the process of selecting images to be the main image of that character, especially when the character appears in more than one film? The latest edition of this beloved title has been comprehensively updated to include new characters from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and both seasons of Star Wars: The Mandalorian . While Maz Kanata's homeworld is given as being Takodana, the 2019 reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary established that Kanata's homeworld is unknown. [8]
