Book Description
Amazon.com Every Star Wars fan knows that Slave I is Boba Fett's tricked-out bounty-hunting ride. But how many know about its short-lived successor, Slave II? And what average fan has ever laid eyes on an Imperial MT-AT walker? (Imagine a huge,
arachnid AT-AT.) Heck, most SW buffs will even try to tell you that Vader's Super Star Destroyer is the biggest bad-boy this side of the Battle of Endor. Not likely: Emperor Palpatine's probably got bigger shuttlecraft on his 17.5-kilometer-long
Eclipse-class ship.
Bill Smith's illustrated Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels--a veritable blue book for the Star Wars universe--lets you kick the tires on all these ships and more. Researching not just the movies, but also Star Wars
novels, comics, computer games, et al., Smith tirelessly details 100 different ways to get around--and dish out destruction--in the land of sandcrawlers and speeders. Descriptions of familiar vehicles ("That's no moon... it's a space station!") blend
seamlessly with the more obscure (can you name six kinds of TIE fighters?). This is one showroom-floor tour you won't want to miss out on. --Paul Hughes
Product Description: "THAT'S NO MOON! IT'S A SPACE STATION." But it wasn't just any
space station--it was the most famous battle station in movie history, the Death Star, just one of the dozens of high-tech marvels that are found in the movies, the books, the comics, the games, and everywhere the Star Wars epic continues. STAR
WARS(c): THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO VEHICLES AND VESSELS * Features detailed data on the most important spaceships, vehicles, and battle machines in the Star Wars universe. * Describes the development and historical importance of each vehicle. *
Includes detailed illustrations with each entry for instant visual reference. * Brings you up-to-date on the latest starcraft technology used by the New Republic, its allies, and its enemies. THESE ARE THE SHIPS USED TO TRAVEL, EXPLORE, AND
CONQUER THE LENGTH AND BREADTH OF THE STAR WARS GALAXY.
