    What about the Dark Forces: Jedi Knight Trillogy? I don't really see many people with them, save for Kyle Katarn fans (myself included).

    I've got "The Force of STAR WARS", "The Jedi Master's Quiz Book", and the Marvel paperback. And I ain't about to part with them.
    How about the children's book set on Chewie's home planet? I've got it somewhere, but I can't remember the title.

    10.The Jedi Master's Quizbook-Over 400 questions about sw.

    I don't have it, but I have read it. Got all the answer's right, even spotted the error.

    11.STAR WARS CHRONICLES-What the hell is this?

    Chronicles, since you asked, is a $150 book originally published in Japan and has a lot of really rare photos from the movies. It has size comparisson charts for ships and some general Expanded Universe info. It's my favorite book.

    12-Secrets of Shadows of the Empire

    Sort of a a 'Making of...' of book for the novel, video game and soundtrack.

    13-TECHNICAL JOURNAL OF THE PLANET TATOOINE

    Part of 3 issue series by Shane Johnson (I think), just some blue prints and photos of things on Tatooine.

    With the exclusive scholastic OT missions books:

    First chapter or so is standard written chapter. Then it goes into series of make choice events based on roles of die and damage you make in an attack on enemies. Then it ends with a closing chapter. 20-22 books printed.

    "7.Episode I Adventures #2 - The Bartokk Assassins"


    With ep 1 adventures it was a bit different, than the missions books.

    Same design was made for the first chapter, but then it gives you the choice of reading a prescripted story in the novel itself, or go to a game version in a seperate book, which you play similer to the missions books. 15 books printed as far as I know. first 12 or so were all original stories, while the last 3 were regurgitation of the movie events.

    "3.Star Wars Journey Accross Planet X-Is this canon?"

    By LFL's policy it and it's prequel(emergency in escape pod 4), are canon.

    "4.STAR WARS - THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES - BOOK 1
    5.STAR WARS - THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES - BOOK"

    These are hardback versions of the godv seres in 2 books, possible marketed to adult market, I'm not sure.


    "6.Star Wars Journal - Captive to Evil"

    This is a complete series of like 6 books, journals written by leia, luke, han, anakin solo, padme, and darth maul.

    "8.The Queen's Amulet-girls book"

    A very small mini book which tells some story of padme crossing naboo field to find her lost amulet. Bought it for the story sake(as a completist) but packed the box and amulet considering I have no need for it.

    "9.The Force of Star Wars-A modern mystery guide to the force"

    Sounds like an unofficial book to me.

    "13-TECHNICAL JOURNAL OF THE PLANET TATOOINE"

    Part of a 3 issue series. There are 3 versions out. The original version, the hardback, and the special edition reprint(with added material based on the movie special editions) I only own the hardback.

    "14-Secrets of the Sith-not that rare, but is it good?"

    A decent history of the sith, with the first original pic of lord bane(wearing a wire helmet), and first to tell the story of the trip to dxun moon. A nice section on Splinter of the mind's eye as well.

    "Sort Stories....
    Star Wars - Marvel Illustrated Books"

    These were comics, taken from the star wars weekly series of the UK, and printed in the US in a graphic novel format. Maybe 5 or so books were made this way. I would love to own marvel stories as well.

    i think i have that Tatooine thing but in a collected volume: The Star Wars Technical Journal...or something like that...it has a section on tatooine, a section on imperial stuff, and one on the rebellion...not the greatest book out there...but not bad either...it was one of my first non-novel books of SW...

    I have one of the Marvel short story ones I think. It's novel sized, with black and white comic pages inside. I can't remember the subtitle, but the main title is "STAR WARS 2." The subtitle refers to a planet I think... I can check later.

    Not only that but a DVD, by definition, is not a book. :D

    Secrets of Shadows of the Empire

    This is at just about every bookstore around me...

    Also, you have the Star Wars New Republic Diplomatic Corps entrance exam book?

    The DCEE isn't rare. The Farlander Papers are most definately one of the rarer ones out there. You know where I could pick that one up Val?

    lol, they'll have to stop using Planet X as a name for one of the many steoptype plot devices ALWAYS present in sci-fi franchses, now that its the name of an actual planet in the Milky Way.

    The Columni came as a shock to me, too. I had thought that the super-advanced-race-of-beings-with-large-brain-like-heads-&-small-bodies had been something Sar Wars had missed out. But nope, its there, along with the rip in space-time, invaders from the beyond etc. Whatever happened to the Columni, anyway, & Colummus(sp?)? The last one I saw was in a hoverchair, using his ''massive intellect'' to lose at card games.
