Don't expect the final version to look like this. Rumors are it has 3 volumes, not 2.The 2nd Edition of Sansweet's Star Wars Encyclopedia - currently titled The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia - is set to be released (as of this writing) on November 18th, 2008. You can preorder it through Amazon by following the link above. Amazon has had the book listed since late March of this year and since their first posting, the book has had a few changes. First the title and first glimpse has been shown (though both are subject to change). Also, the Star Wars folk at The Force.net have found some more tidbits from some inside sources. It looks as though the final release will be 3 volumes totaling between 1,300-1,750 pages and retail at $125. Damn! It looks like there will be 5x as much content as the first edition. It has been confirmed that, obviously, information on all 6 movies will be included. Also, expect background information on the Marvel and Dark Horse comics as well as the new Clone Wars movie and cartoon. There is no word on whether any book or previous Clone Wars content will be included (but it would make sense if this beast is 1,500+ pages).
I have had this baby preordered since March 31st. When I placed my order the release date was November 4th and it was listed for a mere $47.25. The retail has now been boosted to $125 and the Amazon preorder price is $78.75. Will my original price hold up? My current order status shows it has but that could change. I hope not. What a steal that would be! Brand new for under $50!
