Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary
Canon Linked from 6 articles
Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary is a reference book written by David West Reynolds and released by DK Publishing on October 5, 1998. It is the first book in the Star Wars Visual Dictionaries series of Star Wars reference books, covering the original trilogy of Star Wars movies—Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi—with photographs and descriptions of elements from those movies. The Visual Dictionary was also included in the 1999 Star Wars Classic Limited Edition Gift Pack.
It was later followed by Visual Dictionaries for each of the prequel trilogy films, and the four books were combined with new content and republished in 2006 as Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary.
