Rating:  - Horrible, stupid, pathetic book!
This book is horrible. It makes up stuff about lightsabers and how they work. When I saw this book I bought it immediatly. Little did I know that it was so stupid. First, it talks about weapons in words that you don't understand. Then it shows you the weapons that are on starships. On top of all of that it's in dull no color illustrations that look like they got it out of a drawing book. If you are a major Star Wars fan, like me, don't by it.

Rating: - bad illustrator and author
while this book apears to be good, it realy is'nt. the autor made several mistakes in writing. one example of his mistake is when describing the Sun Crusher he says that Maw Instalation was created from funds diverted from the Death Star project when the Death Star was first created and tested at Maw Instalation. also the so called schematics are really just drawings of the outside with very little technical detail.
Rating:  - Good source of information
Another hit in this series, this essential guide offers you information about the weapons and technology in Star Wars. Most of it is Canon, some of it is not. However, any fan of Star Wars Information and such should not be without this book. It is replete with information and knowledge.

The book also lists the corporations that produce the equipment people use in day to day life. I find that this ... Read More
Rating: - Good Entertainment
This was an excellent book. I found it entertaining and that's usually why I buy these types of books. They take a lot of their information from different SW novels, which sometimes bothers me. But I DO like this book. It kept my attention so that's good. Star Wars rocks...
