The absolute best Essential Guide!!!!!

I am a die hard Star Wars fan, my room is like a shrine to it. I got the Chronology for Christmas a few years ago, and it's my favorite out of all of the essential guides. It goes into detail about the pre-Republic days, Xim the Despot, and The Hyperspace and Sith Wars. It also goes beyond the fall of the Empire, and the beginning of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. I really loved the early Republic days and how it nearly fell to the collaboration of Exar Kun and the fallen Jedi, Ulic-Qel Droma. My favorite section of the whole guide is the Rise of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn was the only alien Grand Admiral, (Chiss was his species) and the last to nearly topple the New Republic. There is a lot more in the Guide, but you will just have to read it.

A must have

I just bought this book and already it's great. It helps plot out the events that have taken place in the Star Wars universe. As well it gives brief descriptions on eventful and important events. It is a great reference book if you are not sure when an event has taken place. It is full of information that is essential if you are going to have any comprehension of the great universe that George Lucas created. Not to mention that map of the Star Wars galaxy is very useful.

taking essential to the next level

This book would basically be the summary of all the Star wars literature, games, movies, etc. The new artwork draws you into reading the entire book. I was surprised when they had a picture of a K-wing bomber. It is the most accurate depiction of the star wars timeline i've ever seen. This book is not just for starwarsians. It's so simple, a trekkie could read it (not that one would). It is one of the only books which exists as star wars and not with star wars. You should purchase this book because you don't have to read all of the novels to get the facts. They've read it for you.

The title says it all: The SW Essential Chronology

If you're a SW fan of any form (casual to hardcore), you'll enjoy having this book in your collection. It's filled with a huge amount of info on the SW universe, as well as before and after events of the 1st movie.The artist's conception of each event is ok (I would have preferred drawings from Ralph McQuarrie, but I guess this book would cost more than it does, right?), and they help to provide a snapshot image of the event, but overall, you're going to want to get this book for the sheer info on the SW universe.If George Lucas was to ever try and find a way to showcase all of this info onto the big screen, his SW movies would total 20 episodes.

All You Need To Know...

This book is for the Star wars novel fanatic like me. If you are a fan of the movies, and feel the need to follow the adventures (past, present, and future) of the major and minor players in the vast Star wars universe, then this book is indeed essential. Finally, you don`t have to keep all the events and timelines in your head, this book does that for you! I was amazed at the depth of information, and the completeness of what`s included. Even die-hard fans will be amazed by what they find, and will end up saying to themselves: "I had totally forgotten about that!" It`s really that good. A Star wars novel-reader`s dream! Get this book!
