Original generated cover art
Cutaway photography, annotated props, and the best-designed Star Wars books ever made.
Released by DK in September 2006, this volume compiles the first four Star Wars Visual Dictionaries — covering the original trilogy and all three prequels — into a single reference built around photographed props and costumes rather than illustration.

0 BBY – 4 ABY
The first Star Wars book, published six months before the first Star Wars film.
The sequel that was written in case the first film flopped.
Better than its reputation, and the first prose to state the thing out loud.
The one with the extra Anakin, and a surprisingly interior Vader.
