"The New Essential Chronology" is a book from the series "New Essential" which arrange the Star Wars universe by category and keep the most important thing. Like all books, the chronology, in full color and on glossy paper as softcover available, high-quality legal. Beautiful and stylish illustrations, of course, in color, the book beautify the inside and outside. Go To Content: As the name suggests, tells the chronology the history of the Star Wars universe. And goes far beyond the events of the film series. Comics, books, novels, computer games, of course, the movies, TV shows and what it was all still be covered for content. Chronologically the chronological presentation is based on Episode IV, all annual data are given relative to the Battle of Yavin (the battle in which the first Death Star was destroyed). It begins approximately 100,000 years before Yavin, of civilization against the Republic, tells the beginning of the Republic, the treachery of the Dark Jedi, the emergence and almost extinction of the Sith at the time of the Old Republic, the time of the empire, the rebellion, the new Republic and its aftermath and the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong. More I do not want to reveal the content. The stories are written in the history style, very informative, but no less exciting. The fates of the heroes and villains are also shown. Here the work is not so intended as a substitute for the novels, this despite the chronology worth reading. Instead, the chronology serves as a (successful) summary of the events that were crucial for the course of history. Who read the books or comics, games played (like KOTOR 1 + 2), is often read a passage and think "That's right, so was that." Because you have a lot of things simply forgotten and remembered suddenly. However, anyone who does not want to read all the novels to buy comics, takes on the book his joy, because here you get all the accumulated knowledge in a book. The only drawback, and it was again a special mention, it is in English (!). Who but a little practice in reading English texts has (I look like to English television and also read English books), has determined spec, as it is written quite understandable without many foreign words (which is rare in science fiction books).
