Clone Wars Encyclopedia On The Way?

So posteth TFN after a reader found a solicitation for it on Amazon.co.uk’s website. If the book is for real, it will be out June 2010.

Art Of Clone Wars Book

Feast your eyes on the upcoming Star Wars: The Art Of The Clone Wars book. Featuring 400 pieces of artwork, interviews, and a sneak peek of Season Two, it comes in two versions. There’s the standard edition and the super duper limited edition featuring an awesome McQuarrie-style slipcover artwork and additional art. The book is slated for the fall but supposedly, it will be on sale exclusively at Comic Con this summer! Well, if ain’t the limited edition, I’ll wait!

Interview with Jonathan L. Bowen Part One

Jonathan L. Bowen is the author of 2005’s ‘Anticipation: The Real Life Story of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace’ and last year’s ‘Revenge: The Real Life Story of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.’ Both books chronicle every aspect of the phenomena leading up to their releases and beyond. Here he talks about why he decided to write these books and the experiences he had breaking into publishing:

Interview with Jonathan L. Bowen on Monday

At long last, I’ll post on Monday the interview with Jonathan L. Bowen, author of Anticipation and Revenge. It’s a bit long, so I’m not sure if I’ll run the whole thing on Monday or split it up into a couple of installments. But he has a lot of interesting things to say, so stay tuned!

Star Wars Vault

Just when you wonder to yourself if they’ll ever stop making ultra-cool SW stuff, something like Star Wars Vault comes out on the shelves.

Star Wars Vault is a new book by Lucasfilm’s Pete Vilmur and Steve Sansweet, but it’s not just something you sit down and read. The book contains two CDs’ worth of rare audio, including interviews, radio ads, and Princess Leia’s musical number from the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special and reproductions of all kinds of cool stuff you can pull out and look at. The book has material from all 6 films, including plenty of PT stuff. It is expensive, but if you’re going to buy any one SW book this year, buy this one (and if you get it at Amazon, I think it’s still 40% off list price).

I’ll have a more detailed review of it once I finish going through everything.
