The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology: Revised Edition: Star Wars

Me and my 7 year old love Star Wars and we've enjoyed this series of guides to everything Star Wars. This weapons and technology guide is wonderful and fun. For anyone who loves Star Wars and just wants to know more this is a great buy.

My tween son loves star wars so he likes this series, it gives him a more in-depth look at story lines and tech info. there's several in the series and a SW fan will really enjoy it.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my nephew. He is 9yrs old. He absolutely loved it. He can barely put it down. What a great purchase! I will definitely be ordering him the other Essential Guide Star Wars books too.

I was extremely pleased with what I got when I purchased this guide. It gives a detailed description of the anatomy, history, and use of every item in Star Wars. This guide is broken into sections. These are ranged weapons, melee weapons, starship and planetary weapons, superweapons, defenses and armor, security, and other equitment. The ranged weapons section covers everything from the simple dart shooter to the lethal disruptor rifle. Melee is similar, and it gives many descriptions of Yuuzhan Vong melee weapons(ugh). Starship and planetary weapons section covers many things, and the superweapons section is a very interesting section. I value this guide over the Vehicles and Vessels guide. Its setup is more structured and organized. In the beginning of this guide you can find a Major Manufacterers guide. Ian Fullwood has done an excellent job illistrating this guide. You can see everything. I strongly reccomend this guide to anyone who likes Star Wars, and it really helped me get into Star Wars. A must-have.

This book expands on the weapons/technology used in the Star Wars universe, not just what's seen in the movies but also what appears in the books. The artwork/pictures in the book have been updated, they have a more realistic look to them.
