    So much detail and so mysterious. There's a "wonder of the ancient world" vibe. I wonder how much of that came from Lucas and how much of it was made up by Foster.
    Is the word "Massassi" used?

    Got my copy today. Got it off Amazon for ~$25 Canadian

    I quite like it. Brings back a few (afaik) EU only Character names and planets.

    About the 'Clone' one thing. It only appears on that discription, everywhere else in the book it is correctly called 'Slave One'

    Side note, the page with Biggs on it, uses a screen cap from that one deleted Scene from ANH with Bigg and Luke together on Tatooine. Even includes a description of the event.

    The Story Group previously identified it as a different ship due to the layout of the set in RotS. The ship in RotS is called the Sundered Heart I believe

    Cool about the Massassi, I didn't expect that to make it in.
    Nothing on Moraband, according to the Wookieepedia. Of course, why bother including the homeworld of the Sith? :p

    Really? Moraband didn't make the cut?

    I think there was an entry for Moraband, actually. The Wookieepedia entry doesn't even come close to listing everything that's in it. I don't remember if it made any connection to Korriban or any other names, though.

    It didn't get its own article in the Locations section, but it is mentioned in the "Key Events" entry on Yoda's trials. I suppose if it had, it wouldn't mention much more than the existing Databank entry does, aside from maybe the galactic location.

    Moraband not making the cut is consistent with Lucasfilm wanting to save more backstory to be revealed when it appears as a location in the sequel trilogy, a completely unfounded rumour which I think we should start. 8) (It's more consistent with space issues.)

    Can someone kindly post some scans how it looks like on the inside?
    I can't find it anywhere and I am curious how they have handled its content...
    Thank you ;)

    We discourage posting scans here. If you're curious, the Amazon preview should have you covered.


    Missa ab iPhona mea est.

    Does Count Vidian get an entry? When I flipped through it at Barnes N' Nobles I noticed one or two entries were for characters from that Darth Maul comic so its not just the movies + cartoons.

    So how much of this book is (and I realise it is hard to put proportions to text) retelling information we already know from the films and TV series, how much is making taking legends material and making it canon, and how much is completely new?

    I noticed all of the rogue squadron stuff is still canon particularly Wes Janson and Hobbie Klivians backgrounds

    I doubt there's anything new at all--its function is more "here's the stuff we decided to keep".

    So, does the Rebel Alliance's entry formally refer to it as the Alliance to Restore the Republic?

    All characters in the book have their planets of origin from the old EU, so if any of those were not canon before, they are now.

    Most characters in the book are from the Movies and TV shows, however there are a couple from recent comics and the mobile games.

    Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to double post!

    Yes he is a Nosaurian from New Plympto. But that is the only mention in the book
