Very useful time saving reference book, encapsulates the minutiae of characters, planets, species, aliens, robots, ships, etc from the 'saga', cannon and most especially the Expanded Universe of Star Wars novels, comics, games that have unravelled over 30 years. Last version was wonderful and exhaustive, and the update goes to 3 volumes. I preordered it and it keeps expanding. No longer simply Sansweet, a team penned the entries. ( )
