New Star Wars Encyclopedia On The Way? Posted By Mike on June 30, 2008
Friend of TFN, "Probe Droid", wrote in with the following cool news:
"Talked with Steve Sansweet at NY Comic-Con last Saturday, who told me that Del Rey is doing a big SW encyclopedia this fall. I messaged my contact there who told me: “Yes, we are doing a Star Wars encyclopedia this fall. It will be two hardcovers in a slipcase with full-color artwork. It will retail at $75. It will be an A to Z listing, covering the entire universe. The original encyclopedia was published 10 years ago…so there will be a ton of updating.”'
"Probe Droid" was also nice enough to send in a few pics from NYCC:
Steve Sansweet with J.W. Rinzler's The Complete Making of Indiana Jones

Thanks "Probe Droid!"
