Coming out on December 9, this 3 volume set with a total of 1200+ pages is going hit the shelves!
The enormity of this thing is crazy!
Here's a sneak preview:

Geeky Friday: First Look at “The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia”
October 3, 2008

I hold in my hot little hands a galley for The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia by Steve Sansweet & Pablo Hidalgo with several contributors that hits shelves December 9. Sansweet first tipped me off to this title last April at the New York Comic-Com, and I;ve been anxiously awaiting it. The review galley is a 450-page sample of the final 1200-page, three-volume A–Z encyclopedia that draws from the six feature films and the hundreds if not thousands of novels, graphic novels, and other resources in the Star Wars expanded universe. Starting with the A-1 Deluxe Floater and ending with Zzzanmxl (that was a new one on me, too) this covers anything and everything from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The text is riddled with tons of illustrations of characters, ships, weapons, you name it (click through for pix. Trust me it's worth it.)

The galley I received, alas, is a no frills xerox of the page proofs so the art is in B&W. Here are some samples.

My copy(ies) 3 books in set were delivered yesterday, Awesome!

12 lbs. = FedEx damage (LOL!)

Very cool Sith 'Darth's chart (full page)

Tonnes of images but most are pretty small (the odd full pg. for main characters)

... more L8r

Hi guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Anyone else got these books yet? Are there any RARE pics in there? Can't seem to find many references for it yet. Price is also alittle steep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Still, they maybe worth shelling out for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Let us know! Thanks Ben

I don't have them, but from what I've heard from those that do, none of the images in any of the three volumes is rare.

I saw one of the books in the Mall's bookstore and I'll leave it. You can find more rare images on sites like this . The images are too small.
