Synopsis: The imaginary world of Star Wars is taken from screenplays and novelizations, spin-off novels, comics, detailed sourcebooks published by West End Games, and Ballantine reference books. This publication also reaches beyond the fictional world to include behind-the-scenes information on the making of the films, production timelines, publishing history, theme park attractions, and more. The data is drawn from the "Making of" series, the "Art of" series, documentaries, Lucasfilm archivists, and a host of other publications, articles, and interviews.
