The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia

Post by Mr. Oragahn » Fri Jan 23, 2009 4:31 am

Has anyone got a look at its 12 pounds of data?
Here's more info here, and you can see the covers of the three volumes here.

As evidenced by the presence of characters from the CGI Clone Wars, this does include fresh stuff.

Cost: $ 125.

...or I could just read Wookieepedia.

Cost: $.12 in electrical costs and whatever it costs to make a library card.

QFT. I'm also not paying 137 CAD for a book that is going to be obselete in short order. The CW series continues and the live action is coming up, so in a few years they will be putting out another edition.

That's exactly what I thought upon reading this:
There's no way in he** I'm going to pay that much money for a book that will rendered obsolete by the Clone Wars Series being shown currently on TV.

Isn't it false advertisement to call it the "Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia", then? ;-)

No, because it's a title given at a time it was complete. :)

Prepare yourself for the ULTIMATE version!!
