Why Must Read Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, New Edition?

A new Star Wars movie is on the horizon with the new "Rise of Skywalker" film releasing in December 2019. Unfortunately none of the new film characters are published in this book. However characters such as Supreme Leader Snoke, Rose Tico, and several others have made it as new additions to this revision. Luke Skywalker's picture has finally been updated too. The book continues to be formatted to read for a younger audience, but as an avid Star Wars fan I still enjoy collecting these type of books nonetheless. The pages are printed in an easy-to-read format, with cartouches, data snippets, and general information of each character. This type of book isn't meant to be all-informative or highly detailed, and descriptive... as it's written for children (or those new to the films). As mentioned in my previous review of the 2016 Updated & Expanded Edition of this same titled book, there are many deletions this time around too. As I've previously mentioned in my 2016 review, I feel that collecting the other Character Encyclopedias are worth it for reference & posterity of the characters that have been added / deleted. Here are the omissions from the 2016 version that didn't make it into this 2019 version: • Acklay • B'omarr Monk • Bantha • Boga • Buzz Droid • Commander Bacara • Constable Zuvio • Crab Droid • Darth Maul • Dewback • Droideka • Dwarf Spider Droid • FX-series Droid • Hailfire Droid • Happabore • Homing Spider Droid • Imperial Droids • Imperial Probot • Interrogator Droid • J'Quille • Luggabeast • Major Emmat • Muftak • Mustafarians • Nexu • Octuptarra Droid • Pit Droid • Podracers • Polis Massan • Power Droid • R4-G9 • R4-P17 • Rancor • Ranthar • Reek • Sarlacc • Security Droid • Space Slug • Strono "Cookie" Tuggs • Tauntaun • Utai • Wampa • Yama EDIT: Correction on Darth Maul, he's simply been renamed as Maul within this book.
