Books Imperial Handbook - A Commander's Guide

At this rate it will come in 2018.

 

"Greejatus is a family friend of Palpatine" would make me squee.

 

Or perhaps even an Essential Guide to the Empire.

 

I imagine it has to be a foregone conclusion at this point. (A fringer's guide can't be far behind either)

 

Exactly. I love connections between different eras of galactic history and anything that references the Plagueis novel.

 

Obligatory.

 

Given how messed up the early rebellion is, and the new Rebels series, I can't see a Rebel One done anytime soon. Unless they actually address the problem with a comment about how different worlds and historians have put forth their own histories of the Rebellion, often contradictory.

 

Now we need "Rebel Handbook - A Rebel Scum Guide"
Includes a lock of Luke Skywalkers hair
The Robe of Old Ben
And a Chunk of Alderaan

This looks cool though, still need to get bounty hunters code.

 

Chunk of Alderaan would be awesome. And a Kalidor Crescent.

 

Since the Rogues Gallery feature in Insider has given us some pretty dumb, logic-defying retcons before, I was worried that tall hat and stern face would be retconned into being Ars Dangor and Sate Pestage at some point. But a recent card established that all six of the ROTJ advisors died on the Death Star. Booyah!

 

With the words, "Lothal", "Mothma", and "Organa" barely visible.

 

This came as surprise today. A very welcome one at that.

 

Hm, so far they've had the Jedi one, the Sith one, a Boba Fett/Bounty Hunter one and now this, I believe? Unless I missed one? Never bothered with the Boba Fett one, waiting for the cheaper version of that. I did pick up the Jedi and Sith ones, partially for the lights and partially for the lore.

I hope Han gets to write notes, him being valedictorian then ending up smuggler then Rebel should give him a nice perspective on all this. Now just have to hope for a Rebel version of one- maybe a manifesto or collection or inspirational texts or something. It doesn't have to be one unified work, the Jedi Path was a handbook but the Sith one was Palpatine just throwing together a few darksider texts. Hm, anyone know how the Boba Fett one, was? Not sure I heard that much comments about it, and I'm never getting the deluxe version of that, although I'm somewhat tempted by the Imperial one, depending on how well written it is.

 

The Bounty Hunter Code is ok but of course its existence is unbelievable like the other ones. The descriptions and situation are too precise and the in-universe authors of the different sections are mostly completely ********. It's impossible to print that in a manual that is distributed galaxy-wide to thousands of people. Also, it seems everyone has a mandalorian armor in their wardrobe, they even have a section about that lol. They also stay stuff about how the guild works and there's a section about the Deathwatch. The comments are the most stupid of all three books and I can't wait to see how they will beat that with the Imperial book. Looks like you don't want to get the deluxe version so you won't miss the ridiculous collection of papers that came with the book like the famous helmeted Boba Fett driving permit (wtf?) but there was still some cool stuff like a not-so-poorly-made kamino saberdart and a "wanted" poster with Han Solo. In short, the book is essential for any Star Wars collection

Todd EDIT: Can't use that word.

 

Only deluxe edition I've sprung for so far is Bounty Hunter Code. I'd be interested in getting the Imperial Handbook itself (as I did with the Jedi and Sith books) but not the deluxe edition.

 

It's weird that I'm more excited about this than the previous three, which I still haven't picked up even in the discounted versions, but I've become so Jedi/Sith-ed out over the last several years and bounty hunters don't do much for me. I do want to spring for the deluxe version but it depends on what kind of money I have on hand at the time.

 

Well, I'm glad they cleared that one up, I might never have figured that out otherwise.

Edit: I should have foreseen I would post this too late.

 

The Imperial Empire and "New movie in 2015!" were the things I thought to comment as well. Like a game of Yellow Car, only one person can win the game of pointing out funny stuff.

 

Nice catch, didn't notice that. Maybe they did that out of respect for all of the local planetary empires.

If they make another one of these, I hope it would be for the Old Republic. There is just so much you could cover. Along those lines an in universe Star Wars version of "Jane's Fighting Ships" would also be great.
