This is definitely one of the books that ranks up high if you're a hard core Star Wars fan. I must say that I didn't finish reading the book because the material was a bit too dense for me. My mind wandered back to Earth. This is more of a visual companion than an art book. It covers the political galaxy, the planets and galactic history.
The first part is on Star Wars space politics. The sort of topic, during conversation, will instantly elevate you to the know-..more

This book is enormous! It tells everything from Galactic campaigns, maps of time periods of the Galaxy, Planet information, Major Galactic Players, all the way to the entire history of the Galaxy. It is pretty cool.

Wow. 'Comprehensive' doesn't even begin to describe this. Fun in an 'alternate universe textbook' kind of way.
In other words, some of it tends to be a little dry - bordering on boring. But it is somehow interesting nonetheless.

An atlas of Star Wars? Oh, oh my. My guilty pleasure has reached its pinnacle. There is a blip with a name for pretty much every planet that was ever mentioned in the Star Wars movies and expanded universe up until the publication of this fun thing. Also there's some fake history.

This book is very helpful for getting oriented in Star Wars Universe. The essential for the fanfic writers.
Jan 27, 2012Jim rated it liked it
This book was okay. The information about the relevant planets in the galaxy as well as the combined history was really interesting. The maps are useful if you are a mega-star wars fan since it helps place events in perspective. I also thought the character artwork was spectacular (I wish the comics had this artist).
On a negative side, the political history of the galaxy at the beginning was repetitive with several events being detailed and referenced 5 or 6 times. Also, the minor coverage of le..more

A fun source book for any Star Wars geek. The maps are amazing. The authors really took the time to pull together all current source material and attempt to put it together in a cohesive volume. If you ever wondered just what the 'Kessel Run' looked like or the route the Death Star took as it was heading out to destroy Alderann. How about the exact route and planets the Yuzan Vong used as they infiltrated the galexy. Ahhh, just fun stuff for the nerd in your life. Enjoy!

This book was fascinating. A great deal of infomation about well known and not so well known worlds in the Star Wars Universe. What I loved was that this book not only talked about planets, but about galactic wonders and species. It also broke history down into chronological segments but examined them through the lens of planetary geography. Different galactic systems were examined in detail, as were the worlds that inhabited them.
Any and every planet that you know in the Star Wars universe and quite a few that will be new to you.
The illustrations are absolutely beautiful.
The side notes about each planet will interest new and die-hard fans alike.
A personal favorite of mine were the star maps showing the journeys our heros take in the movies.

A must read guide for all Star Wars fans. Note:follows old timeline that is no longer official Star Wars cannon. Disney has officially destroyed the original extended universe created under creator George Lucas.

Never mind the future-tech aspect..this is a gorgeous coffee table book for geeks, turning that far far away galaxy of the Star Wars universe into a fascinating, mysterious, mystical place. Extremely sumptuous.

An excellent sourcebook. I love that there are updates being made. If only there was an easy way to update the book itself as updates are written.
The ultimate nerd-book of all time. I was suprised by the detail that the authors put into describing the Star Wars universe!

DevelopmentEdit
- 'When I was hired on to the Shadows of the Empire project, one of the first questions I asked Allan Kausch was if someone had made a map of all the planets in the Star Wars universe. He just laughed. There's no way; there's too many planets.'
- ―Steve Perry[src]
Dan Wallace assured readers of his blog that the book would be 'light years' better than his previous book on the subject, The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons, which focused more on summarizing plots than on planetary descriptions. The book is 'equal parts cosmology, planet profiles, political structure, colonization, history, the sweep and scale of wars, and bulleted lists presenting miscellaneous items of kewlness [sic].' Wallace also hoped that it would be closer to older but more detailed roleplaying game (RPG) resources like Platt's Starport Guide and Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook.[2]
In another blog entry, Wallace stated he and Jason Fry planned to access Jason's Systems Database for use in writing the book and hoped to include all 3900 placenames.[3]
In February 2008, Dan stated in his blog that the book survived its first round of editing and was close to 120,000 words, but there were still many changes to be made and more maps to make.[4] In addition he mentioned several items that may be in the book but has disclosed that they are not canonical until its publication, including the Kymoodon Era, the Leech Legion (a region within the Unknown Regions where blind berserkers resided), Cosm's Well (a region of neutron stars, pulsars, and blue stragglers named by the Zeku) and the Tetrahedron (which was the cradle of the Republic).
On February 24, 2009, Dan released more quotations from the book, as he was finishing its final stages of editing. Some names in the quotations include the Bedlam Pulsar (where omnipotent trans-dimensional beings exist in the stark whiteness that digests the fabric of hyperspace), the Planetary Pioneers (a program that, alongside the influence of the D'Asta family, allowed the New Territories to remain loyal to the Republic), The Ark of Baron Auletphant, the Zareca String (which was a jump from Rishi straight up and perpendicular to the galactic plane), and the Twenty Wonders of the Galaxy (assembled by Vicendi for his work Arturum Galactinum).
The authors intended for every canonical star system to be shown or else for its coordinates to be listed in an appendix. Systems from children's books, the RPG franchise, Classic Star Wars, and the Marvel Star Wars series were included. Due to its scope and formal nature, the atlas focuses on showing star systems rather than individual planets; this is in contrast to some previous maps, which due to artistic license showed planets within a system as two separate locations. However, according to Jason Fry, systems may generally be labeled by the name of their most prominent planets rather than by actual system names, since planet names are usually more familiar to fans.[5]
Besides the aforementioned listing of planets, The Essential Atlas supplied maps on various factions and time periods, and was given an in-universe history lecture. In addition, The Essential Atlas was the first to name the factions depicted in the comic series Dark Empire and Crimson Empire; specifically, the factions were named after the stories they originated in.

Nathan Butler, contributor to The Essential Atlas, credits Star Wars fan Eddie van der Heijden, webmaster of starwarstimeline.com, with deriving the Great ReSynchronization dates printed within The Essential Atlas.[6]
The book contains a few typographical errors and inconsistencies.
- The Table of Contents lists the section 'Great Spacefaring Species' as 'Great Seafaring Species.'
- Page 160, concerning spice, mistakenly names HuttsJiliac and Jabba as heads of the Besadii clan. However, Jiliac and Jabba are leaders of the rival Desilijic clan.
- On the map on page 169, 'firing' is misspelled 'firiring.'
- On page 227, the Atlas mentions that Darth Krayt overthrew Roan Fel in 137 ABY. However he was actually overthrown in 130 ABY.
