Summary: Good source of information
Review: Another hit in this series, this essential guide offers you information about the weapons and technology in Star Wars. Most of it is Canon, some of it is not. However, any fan of Star Wars Information and such should not be without this book. It is replete with information and knowledge.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology
Review: Great book. Its fun to design your own bounty hunter with it. It tells who made each weapon, who used each weapon, and has in-depth drawings of each weapon. Like I said, a great book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great if you want to know the coplexity of SW weapons.
Review: I bought this book to understand the complexity and history of the weapons and technology in the Star Wars movies and books. This book provides both, and also provides this material in an interesting way. It's also a great book if you like to play Star Wars Role Playing Games, because the book is an excellent recource guide to the history of each weapon you could possibly use in an RPG.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!!
Review: I have read the other one and from all i have heard this is one awsome book! i am going to get it now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Guns! Guns! Guns! Oh, and some other stuff, too!
Review: I really enjoy the Del Rey Star Wars "Essential Guides...", they are for the most part well written and generally well conceived by authors who genuinely love Star Wars. Bill Smith's work on "The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology" is a fun tech book on everything from blasters and lightsabers to ground based turbo laser batteries, vaporators, comlinks and sensor jamming technology. The book also lists the corporations that produce the equipment people use in day to day life. I find that this tends to add a sense of realism, since no one uses entirely generic items that are provided free of charge to everyone...like on Star Trek.

The book is also well detailed with lots of art, both three-dimensional sketches and line drawings, accompany the text that describes each object. Often, in the case of unique items, Magwit's Mystifying Hoop, explain who used it and why. Unfortunately, if teleportation is so common that performers can use it in their stage acts, why isn't proliferated every where else in Star Wars? Mostly, the art is quite good, though I found a few of the personal weapons to be gimicky and/or poorly conceived of and drawn. Other than this is a great reference for Star Wars fans who might be tired of being buried under meaningless Treknobabble.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book Has Everything!
Review: In response to the question about Exar Kun he was a Jedi Knight turned Dark Lord of the Sith from the Dark Horse comic book seris Dark Lords of the Sith. It all took place hundreds of years before the Trilogy.
