Sharp-eyed readers of issue #87 of
Star Wars Insider may have noticed the small blurb about upcoming book releases, and have seen the
Complete Visual Dictionary listed. Unknown up until now, here's the scoop on this new book from DK.
The
Star Wars Complete Visual Dictionary will contain all of the previous editions (Star Wars Episodes I, II and III, plus the Classic Star Wars Visual Dictionary covering the original 3 episodes), plus new material. Most of the new material will come from the Classic Star Wars era—such as more info on the rebels, Cloud City and Imperial leaders—but a good portion will come from
Revenge of the Sith as well.
Two of the coolest new additions are a two-page cutaway cross-section of the Sarlacc from
Return of the Jedi, and all new "look inside" the R2-D2 original model by Don Bies (one of the ILM model makers who actually operates R2) which is being rendered for DK by Mike Verta.
You can pre-order the book through
Amazon.com.
