Books Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy

I may not be remembering right but I think the Guide to Warfare clarified it at the end that the moffs simultaneously held the military command of the sector armies, that the position of moff was created at the end of the Clone Wars to overlap with the existing sector army commands.

 

New cover?

 

That is awesome and I am now even more an Empire Fan.

 

Long live the Empire!

 

Is it at B&N?

 

Wow, that's some pretty strong praise.

 

Huh, with praise like that there is no way I'm missing this one.

 

I never thought so little information could make me salivate so much.

I am ready.

 

Let's hope there is a Victory SD from a Clone Wars Era poster wich will make it finally "visual canon".

 

Thanks for the early, spoiler-free impressions, Jello! I've never really been one for reference books, but maybe it's just encyclopedias I don't care for, because this sounds amazing. Maybe it's that it seems to have a very clear focus/angle/thesis? I don't know if we have any other (canon) reference books that are similar. Maybe the upcoming On the Front Lines book? In any case, Harper Collins should write you a check because I'm sold.

 

If you're interested in good reference books, I would suggest the Essential Atlas and Guide to Warfare, as well as the Jedi/Sith/Imperial/Bounty Hunter handbooks from a few years ago, as those all have approaches that go beyond simply listing facts and are more than the lump sum of Wookieepedia-bait that, say, the Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia was.

 

Even for Wookieepedians (or at least the good ones*), the Essential Atlas and Guide to Warfare, as well as the various Handbooks are way more interesting than any "encyclopedia."

* Which, of course, include yours humbly. (We are our own best advocates, as the saying goes.)

 

Since as you say, they're among the best Star Wars reference books ever written and there's essentially no reference material in canonical nu-EU stuff, I recommended them because it would be very sorry for someone interested in that to cut themselves off from it simply because it was published before 2014.

 

Also, heads-up that the Complete Locations will be released in about a month. New stuff made by Jason and the majority of stuff from the 2005 book will return in some form. The original had a lot of info-dump.

 

However, from what you can see in the preview pages, it looks like the new stuff is much less copious when it comes to info-dump.

 

Yeah, and I'm much less interested in seeing that than I am about the old stuff reissued. I'm hoping Ep. 8 will one day add a lot more interesting stuff about its locations.

 

Thanks for the recommendations! It's true that I'm mostly interested in canon stuff, but I do still dip into the EU occasionally for the really good stuff I missed. On the wish list they go!

 

Yes, what about it?
