First look at new Guide, LOTF’s Inferno

Guess what’s confirmed? Jedi vs. Sith – The Essential Guide to the Force, written by Ryder Windham (Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide,) illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards (The New Essential Chronology) and Chris Trevas (The New Essential Guide to Alien Species) and expected for November release.

Check yours!)

Any excuse for a shopping spree, right? Or, umm, holiday gifts. Yeah, gifts.
